Medical service
needs still high

By DAVE MELCHIOR
Courier Staff

Hope Medical Clinic is again accepting new adult patients on a limited basis.

Last September, the clinic, at 103 Arnet St., had stopped accepting new adult patients because the wait time for appointments had grown to six to seven weeks.

The clinic provides free medical care to uninsured people, and Director Cathy Robinson said last fall that demand was rising too rapidly for the clinic to be able to accept any more new adult patients. The clinic did not restrict service to children.

Tech program stresses
wide array of skills

By JOHN BARR Jr.
Courier Correspondent

“Lincoln High School Interdisciplinary Technology Department” may be a mouthful, but it does describe the goal of the classes taught by Joe Nuzzo.

The curriculum was started at the bequest of many area businesses.

It was “not started in a vacuum,” said Nuzzo, who has taught at Lincoln High School for 31 years. "We want to use technology in proper context. We want to model industry. Curriculum dictates technology, not the other way around. Shop is a dirty word around here. We want to emphasize problem solving. I pride myself in getting things up and running. I model life-long learning to my students. My role is a facilitator."
