Letter: Breastfeeding can reduce diabetes By Janet Novielli This is only somewhat related but it concerns me that with such high rates of diabetes in this area there is not more emphasis on mothers breastfeeding their babies which can decrease the incidence of Type one diabetes in the child....and recently on a medical segment on Sundays it was stated that IF a mother nurses her baby for 1-2 months it can reduce the mother's risk of diabetes by 50%. Seems to me this would be a wise idea for both mother and child! - Janet NovielliComments re article 53326 LWC Assistant Dean of Students relates struggle with Diabetes 2012-07-26 11:52:54 | Comments | Printable version

Kids Need Kicks: Just $30 buys a pair of shoes Mindy Smith of Kids Need Kicks said this morning that the biggest need at this point is for money donations. "The committee shops for each kid for whom a request has been made," she said. "And they are usually able to find a really good pair of quality shoes for $30." A $30 gift, in other words, means another kid will have a pair of shoes they can be proud to wear on opening day of school." For those who can give more than $30, that gift would be a great help. Any amount is appreciated. For those who would like to give enough to buy 10 pairs of socks - also badly needed, a gift of $10 will do that. "We give a new pair of socks to every child to keep before they try on the new shoes," Mindy Smith said. "New Socks also put put smiles on kids faces," she said. Here's how you can help put smiles on faces: Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2012-07-26 10:24:15 | Comments | Printable version

Telephone Numbers for Vicky Pike - Hospital Tax Recall organizer Because of the volume of interest in Vicky Pike's Hospital Tax Recall Petition, we are unable to forward or relay information to her. But those interested in being on the five person committee needed to form a legal entity to organize the petition can contact her by phone. She writes, "For anyone interested in serving with me on this committee, please call me at 270-384-3348 or cell 634-2604. Also let me know if anyone else has started on a committee," she wrote. We'll continue to post, as we can, letters which meet civil discourse standards of the community, pro and con. The Tax Recall effort is just part of the need now for the community to know what has happened, not only in the Spectrum era and the tenure of the current board of trustees, but in the the previous administration and with previous boards of trustees, to the finances of the hospital, not so much to place blame or punish any of the groups, but to find a way forward, to learn what mistakes were made, and know how to avoid them in the future. - EW 2012-07-26 06:00:16 | Comments | Printable version
