New business seeks to help people face the waves

Pipestone County Star ·

2024/09/24

Ashley Whipkey, of Pipestone, has opened a new counseling office in Pipestone called Facing the Waves. She said she chose the name because mental health is often compared to waves. “Emotions and symptoms come in waves,” she said. “We need to understand that fighting against the waves, fearing the waves and avoiding the waves will typically increase our suffering. So in therapy, it is my goal to teach everyone I come in contact with that we need to prepare for the wave, acknowledge its presenc...

2024/09/23

Some providers at Pipestone County Medical Center (PCMC) have recently started using ambient listening software powered by artificial intelligence to generate medical notes from patient visits. Melissa Scotting, a certified nurse practitioner at PCMC, was one of the first providers to sign up to start using the software, called Freed AI.

2024/09/20

TO THE EDITOR: You need not be a superhero to save a life. You can simply begin with a caring conversation. It’s not an easy conversation, but September is Suicide Awareness Month, and the courage you show when you talk to someone who’s struggling might be lifesaving to a friend or family member. It’s easy for us to pretend it’s not happening, but ignoring mental health conditions is not an option, because they have a potential serious outcome. The National Institute of Mental Health reports ...

Pipestone County Star ·

2024/09/20

TO THE EDITOR: The demonizing of people in Hitler’s Nazi Germany resulted in the deaths of millions of Jews during the 1940’s. Today we have political forces who have been demonizing immigrants with false information. Locally, the immigrant community is essential for the operation of our meat processing plants, dairies, and construction projects. Historically, the immigrant communities have energized our economy.

2024/09/20

As many of you know, I started teaching as a graduate assistant at South Dakota State University. So far, I am really enjoying the experience!

This classroom setting is far different from those I am used to. I have taught many classes in the military, on topics such as basic soldier tasks and drills, and public affairs c...
