1 day ago | civicmedia.us | Tony Leys |Adam Hess |Jimmie Kaska |Lucas Hunt

SPENCER, Iowa — This town’s hospital is a holdout on behalf of people going through mental health crises. The facility’s leaders have pledged not to shutter their inpatient psychiatric unit, as dozens of other U.S. hospitals have.

Just six months ago, the Wisconsin Republican Party was flying pretty high. Despite an unsuccessful attempt to jettison U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, the GOP held its Wisconsin seats in the U.S. House and its majorities (albeit smaller) in the state Legislature. Donald Trump’s win in the Badger State put him over the top for a second term in the White House. Soon after, Brian Schimming was re-elected to a second two-year term as the party’s state chairman.

Movie Monday: Happy Anniversary to Friday the 13th!

3 days ago | civicmedia.us | Laura McKenna |Laura McKenna |Chuck Gennaro |Jimmie Kaska

I love scary movies and being an 80’s baby, I’m a little partial to the grainy quality of 80’s horror movies. A Nightmare on Elm Street, Child’s Play, and of course, Friday the 13th. I love ’em all. But there was something about the hockey mask. The chhh-chhh-chhh-haa-haa-haa. The slow, lumbering walk that always caught up with the running and screaming counselors. I just love all that is -and was- Jason Vorhees. We’re celebrating that movie’s Anniversary this week.

5 days ago | civicmedia.us | Aneri Pattani |Jimmie Kaska |Lisa Hale |Adam Hess

The Trump administration must soon make a decision that will affect millions of Americans’ ability to access and afford mental health and addiction care. The administration is facing a May 12 deadline to declare if it will defend Biden-era regulations that aim to enforce mental health parity — the idea that insurers must cover mental illness and addiction treatment comparably to physical treatments for ailments such as cancer or high blood pressure.

Day of Action with Wisconsin Child Care Providers ‘In Crisis’

6 days ago | waukradio.com | Teri Barr |Jimmie Kaska |Lisa Hale |Adam Hess

Source: Civic Media and Community Change Action•2 min readA day without child care comes as funding remains uncertain and closures mount while providers call on the state to invest – before it’s too late Corrine Hendrickson has run a child care center in Wisconsin for close to 20 years. But the New Glarus area provider may be forced to close the doors of Corrine’s Little Explorers Family Child Care Center. It’s not due to a lack of demand for services, but instead a lack of state investment.

First ever youth flag football event for @BoscobelFB. I am sunburnt and exhausted but it was a great day for football in southwestern Wisconsin! Great to host larger communities (Reedsburg, Dodgeville, Richland Center, Middleton/Cross Plains) and show them some small school ball! https://t.co/grrQlKuEQB
