The work that i have done in the National Park service is tremendous. It spans an entire career of the most mink work that i think i have ever done, is to sit and listen to the people to whom this continent belongs. When i listen and hear the pain of the taking of land, taking of quu culture, taking of language, i begin to think about what that means for me. I have a dear friend. Her name is faith spottedeagle. She does tremendous work around generational trauma and healing in indian country. What she tells me is that healing will take place when we come together as a nation.

WILLSHIRE – For the past 15 years, the Willshire Community Civic Organization pancake and sausage organization has helped kick off Memorial Day in Willshire. The early morning breakfast is held in the local fire station and continues to take place just prior to the community parade.
The parade featured the Parkway High School band and various veterans from the Willshire area who have served in the various wars. Throughout the day, a large crowd of visitors attended the military exhibit at Willshire Home Furnishings. This year’s display featured over 150 uniforms worn by local soldiers in the service of the country.
Friends of Education honored
Times-Gazette
The USD 490 Board of Education recently recognized the I Can Read volunteers and El Dorado Sports Foundation as this year’s Friends of Education.
The I Can Read Volunteers were nominated in the School Volunteer category. Under the lead of Staci Rickard, USD 490’s volunteer coordinator, this group has gone above and beyond to continue to provide support for struggling second grade readers.
“Our volunteers have hearts of gold,” Rickard said. “Many have arrived early or stayed longer to help set up and tear down.”
Several of these volunteers have taken on two students, instead of just one, to ensure all students who needed additional support were matched with a volunteer. They have braved windy and chilly weather to travel through the outdoor story walks with students. Some even brought extra coats or blankets for students who did not have weather-appropriate clothing for the cooler days.
