Re: [LincolnTalk] Shout out to creative Lincoln women

[Jai Kaur]

Hello, Risa,


I love the idea of more mutual support and collaboration between creative
women, and possibly to organize more happenings on the local level.  What
do you have in mind?


Though not for women only, having a forum where arts, crafts, and farming
folks can show & sell their wares and support each other is the intention
of the Lincoln Arts and Farmers Market (LAFM) that gathers weekly in the
summer.


Also, are you aware of the Lincoln Art Show coming up in November on the
weekend of the 17th through the 19th?

It is run by the Lincoln Parks And Recreation.


There is also LOMA, the monthly open mic on the 2nd Tuesday at the
library.  It is  coordinated by Rich Eilbert at loma...@gmail.com

Re: [LincolnTalk] Community Center- size considerations

[Sara Mattes]

This is helpful-more specificity to better understand why some classrooms 
appear used for only potions of the day, or even go empty.
It would be helpful if the schools could provide this type of narrative, rather 
than simply saying something cannot be done.
This is Lincoln, we need to know why!
You have helped me, at least, fill in the blanks.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Community Center- size considerations

[Heather Ring via Lincoln]

To all saying how large our current school is, let’s talk about facts.  The 
school houses pre-K to grade 8.  There are not 4 dedicated classrooms in each 
grade; pre-k, grade 1, and grade 3 each have 3 classrooms.  Every classroom in 
the school is in use.  Some rooms are used in flexible ways allowing an 
equitable education for all.  Covid has had a large impact on education.  News 
sources around the country routinely talk about the covid impact on education.  
To have an equitable education students have different needs.  The “extra” 
space in the school allows the school to meet students where they are providing 
much needed services.  Metrics on building size do not account for an equitable 
education for all.  The school does not have the space to meet student 
educational needs and LEAP needs.  We are very lucky to have high quality 
programming provided by LEAP.

as I can see things from the perspectives of a parent, a resident concerned 
with the town’s finances and an educator.


My son, now a junior at LSRHS, attended LEAP for seven years. As a full time 
working mother, LEAP was a blessing.  My child was nurtured, educated, fed,

I completely understand why the notion of moving LEAP into the school building 
makes sense to those who may not spend much time in a school building.  Unless 
the school can provide LEAP with dedicated, not shared, space that can be fully 
accessed during the school day, it just won’t work.  The LEAP staff deserve 
opportunities to set up their lessons, access materials and prepare for that 
day.  In a working and busy school, that’s just not possible. I have worked in 
a school where the after school staff had to work around the rest of us.  They 
would literally be prepping for their activities in their vehicles or squatting 
in corners of the building trying to create materials, get organized or

I realize and respect that we live in a largely affluent town where quality 
childcare may not be as much of a critical need as in other areas.  However, 
for some of us, affordable childcare is an invaluable necessity so we can work 
and earn enough income to allow our families to grow and thrive in a wonderful 
town like Lincoln.  Just like not everyone in our town may see the need for a 
community center where our aging population can access resources, not everyone 
may see why LEAP is not an entity which we can push aside or ignore.  I hope 
this can help share some perspective as to how important LEAP is to our 
community.

Wish the big signs around town saying that the SOTT was today had explained 
what SOTT stood for. I assumed it was some newfangled test for highschoolers in 
place of the SAT!! Unfortunately an example of 
those-who-have-lived-here-for-a-long-time assuming that those-who-have-not know 
the local lingo? Not complaining here - I love living in Lincoln - and yes 
there were other communications about this event, but next year let’s make sure 
the most prominent signs say something other than SOTT!!

Good afternoon,


I am a Lincoln resident, a parent to a student who attended Lincoln School and 
an educator in a neighboring district.   I believe this is a unique perspective 
as I can see things from the perspectives of a parent, a resident concerned 
with the town’s finances and an educator.


My son, now a junior at LSRHS, attended LEAP for seven years. As a full time 
working mother, LEAP was a blessing.  My child was nurtured, educated, fed, 
loved and provided with various opportunities to increase his social and 
communication skills.  He was exposed to new people, new experiences and 
appropriately and supportively challenged to engage in activities he may never 
have had the chance to try otherwise.  My only child had a chance to just have 
fun playing with children his age, something he never got to do at home or 
where we live in South Lincoln that doesn’t allow for neighborhood play 
opportunities.  When I would pick him up, he’d often ask for “a few more 
minutes” because he was excited by the opportunities provided to him by LEAP 
staff.  The staff were incredible.  They talked lovingly about students, they 
demonstrated enthusiasm for their work and they understood the responsibility 
of helping to raise other people’s children.  I never once entered the LEAP 
building without an exuberant and cheerful greeting from Katie, the tireless 
and dedicated director of LEAP.  And somehow, the LEAP team has managed to do 
all that with a dilapidated physical environment that does not even remotely 
meet their needs. 


I completely understand why the notion of moving LEAP into the school building 
makes sense to those who may not spend much time in a school building.  Unless 
the school can provide LEAP with dedicated, not shared, space that can be fully 
accessed during the school day, it just won’t work.  The LEAP staff deserve 
opportunities to set up their lessons, access materials and prepare for that 
day.  In a working and busy school, that’s just not possible. I have worked in 
a school where the after school staff had to work around the rest of us.  They 
would literally be prepping for their activities in their vehicles or squatting 
in corners of the building trying to create materials, get organized or 
collaborate with one another over student needs. Consequently, they are 
constantly working in an uncomfortable situation where their professionalism is 
not always visibly respected. They could never hang student work, because they 
literally had no walls. They could not use complex and highly engaging learning 
materials, because there was nowhere to store them.  They could not meet as a 
team, because they did not have space to do so. They couldn’t provide 
nutritious snack options, because they had no access to cooking or cooling 
instruments. The students who attended the after school program felt othered, 
not included.  I would hate to put LEAP in a similar situation.

I am grateful for the many efforts and ideas shared to help solve the space 
challenges in our town. I appreciate the opportunity I’ve had to read 
everyone’s intelligent and unique ideas about how to solve these problems.  I 
won’t even pretend to hold a tiny fraction of the knowledge others do on this 
subject.  In my perfect world, we would ideally find alternatives that 
celebrate and support resources that benefit our youngest to our oldest 
residents.  In fact, one might argue that combining these needs into one 
building could, in fact, greatly benefit both.  I can’t think of anything more 
valuable to our older neighbors than watching our youngest residents thrive in 
a space that is happy, clean, safe and reflective of the diverse and unique 
needs of our town’s young students.


Respectfully,

Kristine Barker

[LincolnTalk] Fiber Optic Technician?

[Pastor Allen]

We have a barn that is quite a distance from our house. Several years ago, to 
facilitate both WiFi and a security system, we ran a fiber optic cable from the 
house to the barn.

There's something wrong with that link now: being an old computer geek, I have 
determined it is probably a bad fiber optic cable strand, or perhaps one of the 
converters at each end.  But, I don't have the skills or tools to actually 
isolate and fix the problem.

Can anyone recommend a decent network technician with knowledge of fiber optic 
cabling?

Thanks,

-Allen Vander Meulen
