Changing Hearts and Minds

Hi Friends, I  attended this very workshop held by Planned Parenthood in January. I walked away with a renewed sense of optimism! The presentation we will have is a little shorter version, but impactful just the same. We have such a wonderful opportunity to learn how to hold those difficult conversations. We will learn about oursleves and others, how not to make assumptions, how to be better at showing empathy and really listening to the other person. Think about what you want to say and what you want to stay away from saying. Find that one-on-one opportunity and make it your goal that the conversation goes well. Above all stay away from turning ...

After our January snowshoe hike was cancelled due to lack of snow, this evenings event lent itself to perfect temperatures and plenty of snow. After the hike, the Friends of Rib Mountain offer hot chocolate, hot apple cider, treats galore, and a fire to toast marshmallows and hotdogs.

Do Your Job

Anyone who uses a computer knows the importance of maintaining security.  We use safe passwords. We use two-step verification for financial and health records. We also rely upon our banks, medical clinics, and our government to protect our personal data and keep our information confidential. Would you put up with your bank giving your personal account numbers, balances, and transactions out to unvetted people that do not have bank security clearances? That would be stealing and compromising your confidential financial information! How about your Clinic or Hospital opening their patient’s medical records, including your recent annual ...

STOP THE SALE OF PINE CREST

    One year ago, People for Pine Crest brought to light what was in store for the Pine Crest Nursing home. Our county, our future became the mantra as they began investigating the arguments for selling Pine Crest and what they have since learned.   Selling Pine Crest is not in the best interests of the county and there are other options. Although the Medicaid reimbursement rate is low, People for Pine Crest found that while digging into the financials, that Pine Crest was not losing money as the county was trying to say. In fact, Lincoln County was going to give a potential out of state buyer $2 million dollars. Yes, ...

MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

Reflecting on the recent passing of former President Jimmy Carter, I remember as a teenager standing in awe along a fence line of what is now I-39, watching the Presidential motorcade go by. I am reminded of the many great things our former president did. Such a sad contrast to what we are stepping into today. Yes, let us make America great again. Let us take America to a time of truth and honesty. Carter himself was an Evangelical Christian, which is not to be confused with the Christian nationalism we see today. Jimmy Carter worked as a true leader, knowing that real democracy called for the separation of church and state. He walked the walk ...
