I take lot’s of folks to the airport…and many are concerned about the Zika virus.

So I tell them what I hear on the news.  

If you’re going to South America, Central America, or the Carribean, be extra careful.  

And if you’re pregnant, you probably shouldn’t go at all.  

All the facts are at a new web site from New York State.  

Including how to get tested for free.  

Go to nysfightzika.com. And be safe this summer.

    As a parent, you want to protect them from everything, which sometimes means saying things they need to hear to keep them safe

    Things like “Don’t Smoke,” and “Don’t talk to strangers.” But how many of us talk to our kids about gambling?

    Teen gambling can become an addiction, a pathway to other destructive behavior. Be aware of the warning signs.
