More than a dozen community members attended the Hardin County Schools board meeting to discuss critical race theory.
This included a news conference before the meeting by Hardin County Parents for Education, an organization recently founded by Michelle Smith.
With a small group livestreaming, Smith, Angel Headden and Rep. Nancy Tate, R-BranÂdenÂburg, spoke about critical race theory. Statements were read from Pastor Jerry Westerfield, senior pastor at Bethesda House of Mercy in Elizabethtown, and Rep. Joseph Fischer, R-Fort Thomas.

MADISON, Wis. – Helen Jeanette Rostad Miller, age 100, died on Saturday, April 24, 2021.
Helen was born to Norwegian Immigrants, Jacob and Setona Rostad, on October 25, 1920 in rural DeForest, WI. She attended a one room grade school, graduated from DeForest High and from the Groves-Barnhard Business School in Madison. Helen married Loyd H. Miller on January 10, 1943. Helen was a stoic Norwegian in many ways and credited her longevity to her Viking blood.
Helen’s life was greatly impacted by her family background and by farm life during the Depression. She grew up in an area heavily populated by people of Norwegian heritage, but most had been in this country for a generation or more. Her family were the “newcomers.” She talked of being self-conscious and shy due to that newcomer status and her and her family’s broken English. Like now, children of the 1920s could be cruel to others who were different.
HIGH NOTES: Help for the homeless, food for spring break, vaccination success | The Daily Gazette

In Schenectady, city police Sgt. Nick Mannix and Lt. Ryan Macherone, seeing a need to help the homeless rather than punish them, worked with community agencies over the winter to provide supplies for those living in a homeless encampment off of Lomasney Avenue until they could find housing. The officers could have taken the more conventional route by simply ordering the dozen or so people living in the camp to disperse. But they took a more humanitarian approach to the problem, enlisting the local agencies to bring meals and other supplies and eventually to help eliminate the need for them to live in the wooded area at all. Among the groups assisting with the effort were Bethesda House of Schenectady, Catholic Charities, New Choices Recovery Center, Schenectady County Health Services, City Mission, Schenectady Community Action Program and Mohawk Opportunities.
