The Clipper would like to feature our Essential Workers in Clipper Country as our “Essential Heroes.” Nurses, doctors, volunteer fire departments/ambulance personnel, grocery store workers, and local law enforcement can be featured each week in the pages of The Clipper and on a feature in The eClipper Bonus Pages.
With the nation at a standstill, planning for the new child center facility in Wood River continues. In July 2019, the Wood River Vision 2020, Inc., purchased the Good Samaritan nursing home, located at 1401 East Street, and has been working on design and renovation plans to convert the north half of the facility into the Stick Creek Kids Child Development Center.
The Wood River Methodist Church is scheduled to host a bloodmobile on Tuesday, April 14, from 12:00 noon to 6:00 p.m. As of Sunday, there are a total of 21 slots to fill, not counting those who will not be able to keep appointments due to illness, work and other commitments. In addition to the usual single donation stations there will be two double machines that will be available for those who would like to give doubles.
In this time where our lives are put on hold for the greater good of ourselves, our families, and our friends, The Clipper staff is still diligently working to give our communities a little bit of normalcy and hope by continuing to produce your hometown newspaper. At the present time, our work schedules have changed very little, but our lobby is closed. What we are able to cover has changed dramatically without school and social activities happening each week, and we are not venturing out as much.
