COLUMN: Six tips to celebrate the holidays with someone living with dementia
NEW YORK — With the holiday season in full swing, the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA) is offering six tips to help the millions of Americans caring for a loved one with dementia celebrate the holidays with their loved one in a dementia-friendly way. “Dementia doesn’t prevent someone from feeling the warmth, love, and laughter of the holiday season, but it can change how they experience it,” said Jennifer Reeder, LCSW, AFA’s Director of Educational and Social Services. “Being proactive, adaptable, and inclusive of the person’s wishes and abilities are the best ways caregivers can help them have a happy and joyful holiday season.”
LETTER: Clean and professional
Dear editor, Compliments to Graham Construction and crews at our new hospital (in Moses Lake). It’s the cleanest, most organized site I have ever seen daily. Mike Lihou Moses Lake
LETTER: Grant County must address its lack of juvenile detention facilities
Grant County is currently failing to meet its legal and moral obligations to provide a juvenile detention facility. This deficiency not only violates Washington state law but also fails to address the growing mental health crisis among our youth. Under RCW 13.16.030, counties are required to construct, acquire and maintain juvenile detention facilities, separate from adult facilities, for dependent, wayward and delinquent children. For counties with populations exceeding 50,000, RCW 13.04.135 further mandates the establishment of these facilities.
LETTER: Dear Community Athletics and Activities supporters,
We are writing to express our firm support for the upcoming levy, which is crucial not only for our children but for the well-being of our entire community. While supporting our students is the primary motivation, there are several compelling reasons why this levy is essential.
LETTER: Grandma Green supports levy (English/Espaniol)
Tuesday, Feb. 11 is when we must vote yes on the upcoming school levy. It’s a big vote for our community, especially our kids. My family moved to Moses Lake in the spring of 1970. In the past 54 years, we have staunchly supported and voted for every levy.
LETTER: Education draws the educated
For many years Moses Lake Kiwanis has sponsored youth service clubs. Due to the failure of the 2024 Moses Lake school levy, two of those clubs have folded this year; one has yet to meet and the other two are struggling. This is just one example of many, many, many negative ramifications of that school levy failure.
LETTER: In support of the MLSD levy
Dear editor, I am writing to encourage a yes vote in the school levy election on February 11th. The district has done an excellent job of looking at what happened financially and has taken many positive steps to ensure we are not in this position again. Yes, I understand some voters have lost trust and know the district must earn that trust back.
LETTER: The battle for our children
“Men are cast-iron, but children are wax” - Horace Mann We will be voting for the Moses Lake School District levy soon. After attending school board meetings for the past five years and talking personally with board members and our new Superintendent, I am convinced that we have a winning team.
LETTER: Vote YES for the MLSD levy
When you have untrustworthy administrators and have elected overseers unwilling to put in the effort to be well informed on district affairs, you have a perfect incubator for the fiscal disaster the MLSD has been left in by the previous administration and school board directors. NO ONE currently in administrative positions or on the school board had ANYTHING to do with the financial shortfall our district is facing.
LETTER: In support of law enforcement
I was very disappointed to see President Trump give a blanket pardon to nearly all of those involved in the Jan. 6 attack. It showed great contempt for the law enforcement community. Over (140) officers were injured during the event while faithfully carrying out their duties. No one, regardless of political leaning, should be forgiven for that.
