Connections  by Dolores Bader

   It’s a Small Town thing. I was with a group of women leaving a restaurant in a nearby community recently when a lady with a big smile approached us with a familiar question, “Where are you ladies from?” (Small town residents are quick to pick out new faces.) When we answered La Porte City she surprised us with the words “You have such a nice City Park!” Reading our questioning look she explained that a year ago finding their local park unavailable for a family get-together they had come to LPC for their gathering.

Food for Thought  by Jane Whittlesey

   A couple of weeks back, Mike and I attended the Iowa Newspaper Association's annual convention. While the convention didn't have an official theme, the subject matter of the various seminars and presentations followed a very similar topic - online newspapers and their place in our changing world. As a matter of fact, Mike had been asked to present a seminar featuring The Progress Review's Press Pass.

Simply Put  by Mike Whittlesey

   At the risk of sounding like the opening of a Criminal Minds episode, it was Albert Einstein who said, "The most important motive for work in school and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result, and the knowledge of the value of the result to the community."

   Contrast Einstein’s words with recent surveys of how Americans feel about their jobs and you begin to realize how cynical the world has become since his death in 1955. Perhaps it comes as no surprise that workers in the United States (the legal ones, anyway) are growing increasingly dissatisfied with their jobs. Even sadder still is the fact that the decline in job satisfaction is consistent across all age groups and income levels.

    Back When by Lois Miszner

         I really was at a loss for an idea to talk about today. But a friend called and told me to watch Channel 32 on TV and maybe I could get an idea. She said it was a program about “BACK WHEN” and it might help. I really enjoyed it. The men on the program talked about when they used to thresh oats and this is the time of the year when it happened.

    Hawkins' Happenings by Laura Hammersley

       School starts this week and I hope you remembered to stop in the library to pick up a library card for your student. We have lots of Accelerated Reader books marked and ready to be read and tested on. It is never too early to start thinking about the AR tests and goals. Students can start reading now and be ready to take the first test of the school year soon. If you need help finding a book, please ask any of our librarians and we would be more than happy to help you find a book of interest.

    Meditations by Area Pastors
       One day, as a passenger in an airplane, I started to talk with my neighbor. My goal was to share Jesus Christ with him. During the conversation he said that he is a Christian who goes to church regularly. Then he said that he believes everyone, even those who believe in different religions, will go to heaven after death, because he thought it is too cruel if God only allows Christians to be in heaven. So I explained the teachings of the Bible, especially John 14:6, where Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through me.”
