4th District Public Service Commission Fall 2023 Update

As families are enjoying the Fall sports season and farmers begin to wrap up harvest, things have also been very active and busy at your Nebraska Public Service Commission as well this Fall season.

Grace Notes

My dear hubby served as pastor of a little country church here in southeast Nebraska for almost four decades. The white board church sets in a valley, and looks very similar to old-fashioned churches often pictured on Christmas cards.

Pastor Appreciation Month

October is Pastor Appreciation Month. This is a time set aside for us to honor and give thanks for our pastors who serve us in many ways. Do you know all that your pastor does? As a former church secretary, I have a better idea of what they do now than I did.

Covenant Home Clips

The residents are getting excited, looking forward to seeing all the cute—and scary—trick or treaters on Halloween evening. Some already have their treats, as they don’t want to be tricked! The children always brighten their day, but especially on Halloween when they get to see so many.

Blood Pressure Clinics

Clinics to monitor blood pressure will also be held each Tuesday of the month. They will be held at the Senior Center and rotate between each town in Polk County.

Mental Health First Aid Course

Four Corners Health Department is sponsoring a mental health first aid course on November 9th from 9 AM to 4:30 PM, with about an hour for lunch on your own. It will be at the Butler County Health Center in David City.

Time to Focus on Some Real Nebraska Issues

CAPITOL VIEW There are plenty of distractions. Ukraine vs Russia, Israel vs the Palestinians, Republicans vs Other Republicans. The list is endless. But let’s turn our attention to a couple of Nebraska issues about which we can possibly do something.

Mental Health Workshop

Four Corners Health Department is sponsoring a mental health workshop on Thursday, November 2nd from 9 am to 3:30 pm. Cost is $15 and that includes lunch and refreshments. Registration begins at 8:30 am. The workshop will be at the Holthus Convention Center in York.
