The mercury is rising and the newest edition of Hagerstown magazine is on the shelves. The July/August issue’s cover story looks at some proficient professionals in the area with the social wherewithal to work for the greater good in this ninth annual installation of the magazine’s “People to Watch.” We also visit with a metal fabrication specialist that has upped the ante on East Coast motorcycle mutation — turning other people’s abandoned projects into award-winning works of rumbling art. This is also the health and wellness issue, so we peek inside local healthcare facilities and some of the ways they are increasing patient approval, while staying ahead of mandates set forth by the Affordable Care Act. We’ve got some healthy recipes you can make at home, and some off-the-beaten-path means to getting in shape, and defending yourself against that extra piece of pie. For those of us with pets, keep their diet in mind as well with some low-calorie snacks — maybe you can even take them out on a trip through the Franklin County Trail of History. As always, there’s more in the magazine than here on the web, so sneak a peek, but don’t forget to pick up a copy and maybe a lemonade to help beat the heat.
