Rita's Reflections: Making feathered friends comes easily
If there is such a thing as a bird whisperer, I might be one. Last spring, Larry estimated there were over 200 sandhill cranes in the field across from our house. They are large birds with wingspans of 6-7 feet. I was certain they weren’t going to peck our eyes out like they did in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 horror/thriller the “Birds,” but it was spooky to see that many. And according to the "Peterson Field Guide to Birds" it is uncommon to see sandhill cranes in the Midwest.
United Way of Monroe/Lenawee Counties: Health Checks, golf outing keep May busy
This past month has been a busy month for the United Way: three Health Check events and one golf outing! First, the Health Checks … Our volunteer team and interagency partners have helped us to host Health Checks in Adrian, Temperance (Bedford) and Dundee. We had a record 137 attendees in Adrian, 103 in Bedford and nearly 100 in Dundee. We’re a little tired but thrilled at the numbers. Many attendees have come to rely on the $20 blood panel testing as a low-cost alternative for their comprehensive blood work. I, too, try to get my blood work completed at a spring and fall Health Check, respectively. (It beats a $200+ co-pay, even with insurance coverage). Talking to the attendees made me further realize how important affordable health care is to all of us. And a program like Health Check is so needed and necessary.
