Parents, Patch wants to hear from you on the questions that get families talking.
Welcome to "Hey Mom and Dad"—a weekly feature in which we ask our Facebook fans to share their views on parenting. Every week, we get the conversation started by taking a look back at a question we asked parents the week before on Patch Facebook pages from around the area. Most teens love to stay out late with their friends, a habit upon which many parents prefer to keep a certain degree of limitations. Mom and Dad tend to know better about when their kids need to get some sleep, after all—and when there's liable to be less reason to be out. Which brings us to this week's question: What curfews have you set for your teenage children, and how do you enforce them? Take a look at what people had to say and join the conversation in the …
Come to Geneva's Tom & Eddie's from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 27, to sample "The Pineapple Express" and other Geneva High School marketing class burger creations.

Last night, during a debate on the floor of the U. S. House of Representatives, U. S. Rep. Frank Wolf (R - Virginia) warned against respecting States Rights when it comes to the 16 U. S. States that have legalized medical marijuana for use by seriously and/or terminally ill patients, as prescribed by their doctors. Rep. Wolf's comments remembered me of what New York State's Rockefeller Drug Laws … more ›
