<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ever Wonder What It's Like?</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Somehow the message that the economy was improving never made it to the homeless population in Crook County. Numbers are increasing and services can't keep up with the need. Bill talks with two people in Prineville Oregon about how they came to be homeless, what it's like to live on the street, what challenges they have on a daily basis, and what resources they have tapped to help them get out of the cycle of homelessness, drug addiction, and jail. Listen to this podcast now (8:41 total time) and learn what it's like to be homeless.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Billie Johnson is a dairy farmer on a journey. Raised on a cattle ranch near Monument Oregon, Johnson has always known that farming was in her blood. But her journey through farming has not been an easy one. And, as one of the leaders in the raw milk movement, she's had to fight for the right to supply healthy, organic products using the “herd
share” business model - legally allowing her members to obtain raw milk products
right from the farm. Listen to this podcast and be inspired! Total running time - 8:37.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; border: none; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Expected to stimulate development in Crook County community leaders, St. Charles Health System personnel and residents of Prineville broke ground on the new St. Charles Prineville Campus on April 9. Under bright sunny skies twelve shovels ceremonially marked the start of construction on the $30 million hospital being built on the growing east side of the city. </span></div>

<div style="border: none; color: #333333; font-family: tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="border: none; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </span><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="border: none; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Steve Forrester, Prineville’s city manager, understands the impact of the new hospital. “It’s been a lot of years of hard work and dedication to bring it to the point where we are now. If you look at the scope of development in Prineville, we have the data centers up on the hill next to the airport. But the intersection of Hwy 126 and Combs Flat road (site of the new hospital) is the busiest intersection in our community.”</span></span></div>

Add to this the 2015 opening of a new $18 million elementary school north of the hospital and the east side of Prineville is clearly primed for growth.</span></span></div>
<div style="border: none; color: #333333; font-family: tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; padding: 0px;">

We have a number of homes here that aren’t on city water or sewer, and this development is going to bridge that gap and make a big difference on this end of town,” added Forrester. </span></span></div>

There’s plenty of acreage here to expand in the future.”</span></span></div>

This new hospital is going to allow us to change our focus from in-patient sick care to out-patient well care, keeping people healthy,” added Gentry.</span><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="border: none; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The new facility’s design will reflect a focus on wellness and prevention. </span></span></div>

It’s about how to create space in a team environment with practitioners, behavioralists, with nutritionists; to really be thinking consciously about how to keep people well and how to give them the tools and mindset to keep themselves well. This reflects the whole change that’s going on in healthcare and I think it’s very special that one of our smaller communities is taking this on and pioneering this effort,” said Michael Curtis, vice president healthcare of The Neenan Company, the design and build firm for the project.</span><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="border: none; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The new hospital will encompass 62,000 square feet and will offer a wide range of patient, family and visitor services. Primary and specialty care clinics, an emergency department, lab, radiology, imaging and rehabilitation services are all part of the new facility.</span></span></div>
<div style="border: none; color: #333333; font-family: tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; padding: 0px;">

<div style="border: none; color: #333333; font-family: tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; padding: 0px;">

And there will actually be less in-patient space than in the existing Pioneer Memorial Hospital.</span></span></div>

We’re so excited about this project, it’s going to be a real boost to our economy!” said Prineville Mayor Betty Roppe. </span></span></div>

With this new facility, and its emphasis on preventative care, I think we’re headed in the right direction for the community. </span><span style="border: none; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">It will certainly help us attract new businesses.”</span></span></div>

They're not looking for your money, they're looking for a little of your time, your empathy for the children who've been removed from their parent's home due to abuse or neglect. Over 60 children are in foster care in Crook County - but only half of them have an Advocate, someone trained and specifically looking out for the rights and needs of the child. Listen to this 10-minute radio show with two members of the Prineville CASA team - Gaylynn Kerns and Meriah Smith - learn what it's like being an Advocate - then seriously consider becoming part of the CASA team in Prineville.</span></span><br />
