The Garrett County Health Department has scheduled a tobacco treatment class to begin on September 5th. The class is one hour long, from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM, and consists of four in-person group sessions, one each week, and two follow-up phone sessions for a total of six weeks. These sessions will help you learn how to change your habits. Participants receive many resources, including a class notebook, group support from others who are also trying to quit, and free cessation aids in the form of nicotine patches, gum, lozenge, or the prescription drugs Zyban or Chantix. “The class is free and designed to help you stop using all types of tobacco, including cigarettes, smokeless, and electronic smoking devices,” said Chelsie Dever, Director of Health Education & Outreach, adding “the support received from the other participants in the group who are also attempting to quit using tobacco really helps participants to stay focused on their goal.” To register for the class, go to www.KickingTobacco.com. Everyone also has access to the Maryland Tobacco Quitline at 1-800-QUIT-NOW. This Quitline gives nicotine users access to a “Quitting Coach” for help seven days a week. If any businesses or organizations in Garrett County are interested […]

Long before computers, answering machines, and cell phones there was a time that was part of all of us. Instead of drive-thrus, there were drive-ins. Coke wasn't "Classic" and it came from a fountain or it's a green glass bottle. And the only survivor series on TV consisted of Gilligan and his crew. Times have changed but have we? Do you still remember the first record you owned? How about sitting around the radio instead of the television? And EVERY night was a classic car cruise! Was it really that long ago? Randy entertains his audiences with stories, gun-slinging, dancing, and pantomime. His observational humor about the era is complimented with over 50 impersonations and a special tribute to veterans. As a seasoned veteran of the comedy scene since 1982 and as a nationally touring comedian, Randy's combination of innovative style, quick wit, and brilliant impressions has made him popular with all types of audiences for many years. He currently tours the nation with three different shows. The "Nostalgia Show" is a 2-hour multi-media show that pays a comedic tribute to the 1950's and 60's. PURCHASE YOUR TICKETS
