Pat Nimbar runs for coroner
|
|
|
|
I'm Patricia Nimbar and I'm running for Crawford county Coroner on the Independent Ticket. I've been a Deputy Coroner for 2 Terms, having done over 50 cases.
I live outside of Wauzeka with my Husband Steve, and our 5 Dogs. We own 2 Local Businesses. I've owned my own Dog Boarding Kennel for 40yrs. And I have been Breeding, Hunting and showing CH.Labrador Retrievers for 50 yrs. Steve and I also own and operate CountrySide Sprayers, which has been in Business for over 15 yrs. I decided to run for the Coroner, when I had a recent case where I had no equipment no access to the equipment, or office and the Death Cert. was given to someone outside of the coroners office and lost for several days and the found in a Public Place. This is so wrong. I would like for all Deputies, who will not be EMT's to have access to equipment, training and to the office to complete their cases. The coroners office needs to be able to handle any kind of Death and must have a faster response times. It is not a Private Office. I'm going to look into the Coroners budgets and see how we can cut and improve things where needed. I know times are Bad for everyone in this economy. But the Coroners Office can be improved, and Honesty, Respect and Dignity, brought back to the People of this county. Thank You, Please vote for me on Nov.2 |

Wisconsin Broadband Map Now Online
|
|
|
|
Dear Editor,
A map showing what’s available for high-speed Internet access at any address in Wisconsin is now online at www.link.wisconsin.gov. The map is easy to use. When I entered an address or used my mouse to position the cursor, the map listed the broadband providers serving the location.
The Internet benefits all community members, even those who never turn on a computer. Seniors may be able to continue living at home with health care services requiring broadband. Web-based services mean opportunities for education, job creation, public safety, energy savings, health care, work training, government and community participation. Broadband is an infrastructure that has become as vital as electricity and telephone were decades ago.
The online broadband map shows where more efforts are needed to eliminate the areas with no broadband service. The map will be updated over time as broadband becomes available in more areas. For urban and suburban residents, the broadband map has information on broadband choices, a tool that can help foster competition among providers.
If you’re not familiar with the Internet, ask a librarian to give you a primer.
With kindest regards,
Dale Schultz
State Senator
