Did you know that approximately 77% of people experience physical symptoms caused by stress? While stress management techniques abound, one often overlooked yet highly effective method is journaling. This simple act of putting pen to paper can dramatically transform your mental clarity and emotional well-being.

Letter To The Editor: At the Wood River City Council meeting of March 3rd, the City had to admit that it had violated the terms of City agreements and ordinances that caused unauthorized payments totaling tens of thousands of TIF funds to developers.
