During September 1928, Scottish bacteriologist Alexander Fleming discovered the basic substance that evolved into the isolation of the antibiotic penicillin in 1930 by Howard Florey and Ernst Chain. The use of penicillin was recognized as a life-saving medication for treating soldiers during World War II. The three scientists were awarded a Nobel Prize in 1945 for this important discovery.

Heading back to school means new routines, new classes, and, for some children and teens, new anxieties. Stomachaches may start before school begins, with no fever or clear cause—just a worried feeling that keeps showing up. Irritability, difficulty sleeping, frequent “what ifs,” and an overall sense of dread may also appear.

The expression “hindsight is 20/20” is attributed to American humorist Richard Armour from an article in The Van Nuys News. The California newspaper was published on February 17, 1949. The term refers to the Snellen vision chart testing for visual acuity. The term is used to express a clearer vision of events after they have occurred.

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.
