F.O.C.U.S. Behavioral Health Services in Sallisaw is hosting an open house to present their new location to the community.

The general public is invited to tour the new building at 1515 W. Chickasaw in Sallisaw from 1 to 3 p.m. Tuesday. Refreshments will be served during the open house.

F.O.C.U.S., which means "Family, Opportunity, Community, Unity, Strength," is an alcohol and drug treatment provider and also serves clients in Sequoyah County's Drug Court program. The drug court program is a way for non-violent drug offenders in the county to be rehabilitated instead of incarcerated, and those in the program receive counseling and treatment through F.O.C.U.S.

After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500 words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
