LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Members of the Lincoln community are taking the initiative to spread awareness about Parkinson’s Disease.
Lincoln resident Brian Reetz’s mother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s 20 years ago. Since then, he has spent years advocating for people with the disease and taking part in events hosted by the Parkinson’s Foundation.
“That really is what sprung me to try to do a little bit more, not only for mom, but it kind of got me more involved,” Reetz said.

In Snowmass Village and the Roaring Fork Valley, an ever-changing supply and demand equation impacted by COVID-19 continues to mold the landscape of child care services. Some parents opt for a traditional model at the Little Red Schoolhouse, but others have turned to alternative options relying on family and friends or employer-run programs to meet the need.

Natalie Noakes is well aware of a demand for more child care in Snowmass Village.
“We hear all the time … ‘child care, child care, child care,’” the owner of Aspen Nannies said. Her service typically provides short-term babysitting services to visiting tourists, though in 2020 she’s seen an uptick in requests for long term nanny services.
This year, Noakes decided she would be part of the solution to a purported lack of child care options in Snowmass Village. Armed with a $10,000 grant from the state of Colorado and support from the Aspen-based Kids First child care resource center, Noakes tried to open a child care center for infants and toddlers in Snowmass Base Village with local employees in mind.
