  • Prevent A Blood Shortage – Donate in February

    For the Courier

    Spring is close, but February often brings unpredictable winter weather that can cause blood drive cancellations and make it difficult for donors to make it to their appointments safely.

Donors of all blood types – particularly type O blood donors, the most needed blood group by hospitals – are needed daily to meet demand. In thanks for helping kee...

ChatGPT has come out of the gate hot and has only gained speed since. The most sincere form...

    When you’re working, you may spend decades contributing to retirement accounts such as your 401(k) and IRA. Once you’re retired, though, you’ll likely need to begin withdrawing from these accounts to help pay for your living expenses. In fact, you’ll be required to take money from them at a certain age — but that age requirement is changing, and it could lead to changes in your financial strategy. Let’s look at some background behind this development. You put in pre-tax dollars to a traditional IRA and 401(k), so your contributions can lower yo...
