RISING SUN - This past Saturday turned out to be quite the eventful day for our little family.
Thatcher and I were able to escape into the Driftless and visit the Kickapoo Valley Reserve, while helping a handful of volunteers plant native flower seed.
I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when our friend sent the email invite to Thatcher specifically, but when I asked him, he eagerly agreed.

Douglas County leaders have approved a new health order that will keep the mask mandate in place, eliminate the mass-gathering limit and provide more flexibility about the occupancy rules for businesses and venues.
As part of its meeting Wednesday, the Douglas County Commission voted unanimously to approve the health order, agreeing with medical professionals who said that the precautions in the order were still needed. Douglas County Public Health Officer Dr. Thomas Marcellino said that especially with new variants of the virus, a continued mask order and other requirements were the least restrictive action to prevent the spread of COVID.

A collaboration among three Lawrence organizations has resulted in a robust COVID-19 testing program aimed at finding asymptomatic cases among community members who often interact with strangers.
In December, the Lawrence Restaurant Association partnered with LMH Health and Lawrence-Douglas County Public Health to begin surveillance testing of hospitality workers. According to Emily Peterson, chair of the Lawrence Restaurant Association, 45 Lawrence businesses including restaurants, bars, coffee shops, bakeries and event spaces are now participating in the program. Those 45 businesses have around 1,100 staff members who are tested monthly.
