Good Sunday afternoon.

The White Pine Sheriff’s office and other first responders conducted a mock training exercise Sunday afternoon on the west side of Ely.  Rather than notify the news media, they assumed that a simple Facebook post would be sufficient notification.  Unfortunately, not everyone reads Facebook, and Facebook has a tendency to throddle governmental agencies reach.  Because of that, my phones have been blowing up at the radio station wanting to know why we weren’t talking about it.  As soon as we were able to find out information, we did.  An important reminder to you and those who wish we would go away.  Radio doesn’t filter the news you need to know like Social Media.  We tell the truth that some politicians - like County Commissioners - don’t want you to know.  Listen here, we bring you the latest news every hour, and bulletins at once.  We live the slogan - accurate news and reasonable views.  So keep tuned in. You might learn something important.

With the government shutdown throddling SNAP and Government aid programs, local businesses are filling the gap. The White Pine Ministerial Association food bank is getting a big boost — Cal Ranch in Ely is taking donations and register round-ups and will match those donations up to $1,000. Ridley’s also came through early with food donations. With Thanksgiving baskets and the Community Christmas Dinner coming soon, the need is growing. The food bank is open behind Economy Drug, Thursdays 4:30 to 6:30 and Mondays 1 to 2 and your help is needed and your donations are appreciated. When Washington stalls, Ely steps up — proving once again that local action beats political gridlock, particularly from the party that made people reliant on such Governmental aid.  Your comments are welcome, but please, donate.
