   Greetings,

Sure hope that you are enjoying a glorious Spring. We see evidence of new life, or the re-appearance of the once-familiar, all around us. Prevention-related news also reminds us that "to everything there is a season" and a hope for better days ahead. We are reminded that news reports are not a series of isolated events, but that they are in fact "connected." This is the fifth in a series of experimental newsletters, and, as always, we welcome your response. Let's stay connected!



  • The Newsclip File
  •    Alcohol and other drugs, substance abuse and addiction, prevention and treatment appear in print on a fairly regular basis. We don't all read the same newspapers and magazines, so some of the reports escape our attention. This monthly feature captures some recent items.

    More Information. . .

  • Q & A
  •    Many of our readers call in questions, or voice them in person at meetings. In this section of "Connections" we answer some of those questions, which are likely to be on the minds of others as well. Please don't hesitate to send in YOUR questions.

    Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed within this section are solely those of the author, and do not necessarily represent the views, opinions and policies of ACT Missouri. Please address your questions and comments to Gerrit L. DenHartog.

  • Quotables
  •    Sometimes we see and hear things said that are worth a second look, and maybe inclusion in our writings or conversation. This section of "Connections" presents such quotes and provides the context within with these things are said.

    See what are people saying!
