Mother feels Ryan verdict unjust

Just a few thoughts about the unjust verdict given in Oregon. After the long train ride home and trying to wrap my head around what took place, the only conclusion I came to was there is no justice left in the nation that I loved so dearly all my life.

Thanking a local business

How to begin to thank Ordelheide Dental? I have lived here for 3 years, moving from the stress of Seattle working with 44,000 people at Boeing to some culture shock. I am learning that this small town living, is what life is supposed to be! I moved here to marry my husband (Buddy), and be welcomed by the most wonderful in-laws anyone could ever ask for (Pat and Ed Farmer). I left my family behind to have that faith and family embrace me. Within 2 years my sister, her husband and 3 kids moved out here and my parents will retire out here in just a few weeks. Us “large town” newbies are starting to learn what town fellowship really mean. The owners and staff of Ordelheide Dental have today proven to me what community is all about. They opened their doors to the town of Plains for much needed free dental help. Yes our town may be small, but it is mighty and coming together like this with the help of the Womens Club made today a memory to hold forever! It’s hard to find work out here, and even harder to find benefits, so when a business a true family business can give so much knowing the struggles we have, goes above and beyond and has made this the most memorable experience not only for me, but my family as well. Thank you Ordelheide Dentist for making a believer in me and bringing so much pride to our community.
