Healing Fremont With A Picnic

 

Picnic brings cultures together

06/29/2009 - Sunday afternoon turned out to be nearly perfect for a picnic designed to help get people in the Fremont community together.

More than 125 people attended the picnic organized by Home Is Nebraska Fremont.

Kristin Ostrom, one of the picnic organizers, said events like this are needed to help people understand that regardless of background and culture, people are basically the same.

Fremont picnic for unity draws 75

06/29/2009 - Gabby Ayala is a U.S. citizen.

But, she said, you would never know it from the way some of her fellow Fremont, Neb., residents behave toward her and other Mexican-Americans.

“We all come from somewhere else,” Ostrom said Sunday at a picnic that Nebraska Is Home Fremont sponsored. Ostrom noted that her great-grandparents emigrated from Sweden.

Fremont Residents Want Better Treatment

Debate over an anti-immigration proposal in Fremont is moving forward. In the past year, an effort to ban employers from hiring illegal immigrants and ban landlords from renting to illegal immigrants has caused some controversy between residents.

The proposal is currently tied up in Appeals court. A new community group called "Nebraska is Home-Fremont" is urging Fremont neighbors to put their beliefs aside and focus on being friendly.

Lined up, side by side, Fremont residents stand together. "I believe there's a lot more to people than just where they come from," said "Nebraska is Home-Fremont" group leader, Gabby Ayala.

OUR VIEW: It’s about community

Fremont Launch06/13/2009 - Courtesy and respect.

They are words we say often. But in today’s world, we see less and less of these qualities being exhibited.

One only has to read letters in this newspaper or comments on our Web site to see prime examples. Watching any of the 24-hour news channels or listening to almost any talk radio program will provide examples, too.

We as a society are too quick to comment, too quick to judge and too quick to be offended when someone disagrees with our point of view. Too often today the aim appears to divide, to create an us vs. them mentality.

It seems we’ve lost the ability to be civil; the ability to be neighborly.

We as a community have a chance to show we still can be courteous and respectful. That chance is by supporting the Nebraska Is Home Fremont campaign. Read the Full Op/Ed from the Fremont Tribune...

Group seeks to promote unity in the community

Fremont Launch06/08/2009 - Gabby Ayala sometimes watches in amazement as her 3-year-old daughter plays with her best friend.

Ayala’s daughter’s first language is Spanish, although she is now learning English. Her friend only speaks English.

“It’s just fun to see them playing and getting involved in different stuff,” Ayala said Saturday during the launch of the Nebraska is Home Fremont campaign. “We can see they’re not that different. They communicate somehow. It’s amazing and funny to see that.”
