A change in the way many school employees in Stark and six other counties get prescription medications has upset area pharmacists who complain that their business is now going out of state.

The new mail-order prescription plan stems from an amendment to union contracts that went into effect Aug. 1. It affects 6,700 Stark County teachers and nonteaching employees.

With cuts in state funding hurting many districts, the prescription change is aimed at saving money for school systems, its supporters say. Read more…

Episcopal nuns, priest to become Catholics after years of prayer
BALTIMORE (CNS) — After seven years of prayer and discernment, a community of Episcopal sisters and their chaplain were to be received into the Catholic Church during a Sept. 3 Mass celebrated by Baltimore Archbishop Edwin F. O’Brien. The archbishop was to welcome 10 sisters from the Society of All Saints’ Sisters of the Poor when he administers the sacrament of confirmation and the sisters renew their vows of poverty, chastity and obedience in the chapel of their convent in suburban Catonsville, Md. The Rev. Warren Tanghe, an Episcopal priest, also was to be received into the church and is discerning the possibility of becoming a Catholic priest. In an interview with The Catholic Review, Baltimore archdiocesan newspaper, Mother Christina Christie, superior of the religious community, said the sisters are excited about joining the Catholic Church. The women religious have been studying the church’s teachings for years, she said. Two Episcopal nuns who have decided not to become Catholic will continue to live and minister alongside their soon-to-be Catholic sisters. Members of the community range in age from 59 to 94.

Even though state health officials are encouraging California counties to offer free swine flu vaccinations to every student in school, Santa Clara County says it simply doesn’t have the staff to handle a program that vast.

And that could mean parents here will be stuck with co-pays or other fees to protect their children from the pandemic expected to hit hard this fall. St. Louis College of Pharmacy and the Washington University School of Medicine have reached an agreement to swap about 1.2 acres in the Central West End.

Under terms of the deal, the college is acquiring two separate surface parking lots from Washington University. The lots are located on the southwest and northwest corner of Parkview Place and Taylor Avenue. ASCP Research and Education Foundation
