A Community Integrated
Greetings, Brent here. I have many sorts; I am social: a social cyclist and social worker of sorts. That status worked into our lovely, intricate Lincoln Township provides common overlaps in my social Venn diagram. Notably, my friend Cara Pesek and I were on a terrific group bike ride a few warm Saturdays ago. As we flew down the Murdock trail towards el campo, catching up both socially and to the pack’s head, we learned Crete was a shared job site for the both of us in the weeks prior—she on assignment with the Journal Star and me knocking on doors doing quality of life surveys on UNL’s behalf. To boot, we had both been investigating how well the Latino community is integrating there. Turns out, really well. So let this and her article be a microcosm of how well our community is tied and how important it is to appreciate one another’s involvement in it.
