On August 25, 2026, we lost the beautiful and talented Dolly Parton. She left a wonderful legacy as a country music writer and performer. Her kindness was legendary. Dolly worked with so many different artists and covered many different genres, but she was pure country in her early career. On her fifth album with country legend Porter Wagoner in 1970, they recorded the song “Before Our Weakness Gets Too Strong.” In 1971, they won the Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a group or duo for the album Once More.

Children experience the world through the sounds around them, from a parent's voice and classroom lessons to music, sports and play. Healthy hearing is important for speech and language development, learning and social interaction. While hearing loss is often associated with aging, it can affect children as well, and in many cases, it is preventable.

On June 10, 1971, Marvin Gaye released his hit Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology), which was the most popular song at the time to talk about the environment. The song was on his second album, What’s Going On. The song hit #4 on the Billboard Top 100 chart and crossed over to the Adult Contemporary chart, hitting number 34. After his tragic death in 1984, Mercy Mercy Me was his third single to be listed in the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2002.

Are you concerned about developing diabetes, especially if it runs in your family? While some risk factors cannot be changed, healthy lifestyle choices can significantly reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. For people with prediabetes, early changes to diet, physical activity and other daily habits may help return blood sugar levels to a healthier range.
