Letter to the Editor

Body
To the Community of Oxford that we serve and love, We at the Golden Generation Center have had many questions and comments regarding our funding and our Nebraska Sate requirements recently so we felt it would be good to put out some information regarding these inquiries. So many people seem to have misinformation about our funding, payments, and who can eat with us daily that our center doesn’t get utilized to its full potential. We would like to help the community understand some of these gray areas a bit more clearly.

Every child deserves an opportunity

Body
As the chair of the Education Committee in the Nebraska Legislature, I’ve always been a major believer in public schools. I believe firmly that every K-12 aged child in our state deserves access to a well-funded, competitive, safe education. I also believe that every family has unique needs and values in which a one-size-fits-all approach may not always be best. Because of this, I also support increasing school choice in the State of Nebraska.

Beware of False Spring

Body
Beware of False Spring! Warmer weather and longer days are starting to show up, giving so many of us hope and excitement for the new growing season. Beware of “False Spring,” where the warm days can be followed by cold snaps and potential spring blizzards that will visit the region at some point in March and April.

No man is an island

Body
“No man is an island, entire of itself, every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.” This is the beginning of a poem from 1624. In it, the poet John Donne appreciates how humans are all connected. Indeed, humans are social beings, and social connection is a factor in our health.
