ARE YOU READY FOR DIGITAL T.V.?
On February 17, 2009, television stations all over the country will begin broadcasting exclusively in a digital format, ending analog broadcasts that come through conventional television antennas. After February 17, 2009, to continue receiving free, over-the-air signals, a television set must have either a digital tuner or a set-top converter box that converts the new digital signal into the old analog format and the set to continue receiving broadcast-only signals. Congress established the Digital-to-Analog Converter Box Coupon Program. Through this program, every U.S. household is eligible to receive up to two $40 coupons to purchase converter boxes. You can now request your coupons online at www.dtv2009.gov, by calling 1-888-DTV-2009, or by mail. It’s important to remember that coupons expire 90 days after they are issued. (This information provided courtesy of Congressman Mike Simpson.)

SUMMER-2008
FAMILY CRISIS CENTER LAUNCHES NEW PROGRAM
We here at the Family Crisis Center are beginning a new program to benefit those who have fallen victim to the problem of domestic violence. We are giving one of our resources, the book, WHY DOES HE DO THAT? Inside the minds of angry and controlling men, by Lundy Bancroft, to those who have felt and still feel the effects of domestic violence. This book teaches its readers about some of the following: The early warning signs…ten abusive personality types..the role of drugs and alcohol…what you can fix and what you can’t ..how to get out of a relationship safely and many other things to help understand what is happening. Your support in this action to better educate these victims helps them to stay out of future abusive relationships and helps you as well. In having community members who are well educated in domestic violence you are raising the awareness of it existence and its effects. These people will be able to use not only the knowledge they gained through their reading of this book, but through their testimonies of how it destroys lives; both directly in indirectly. They will be able to pass on their knowledge and experience to other potential victims of this debilitating disease and save others from becoming another statistic that degrades who we, as a society, are. In supporting this movement you will be letting the world know that you stand against domestic violence. An attachment will be placed inside of each book so that victims will know you have been a part of the healing process and are an advocate for the end of domestic violence. If you would like to stand up with the Family Crisis Center and stop to domestic violence we are experiencing here then call us and show your commitment by pledging how many books you will help us provide these victims with. You can reach the Family Crisis Center Monday through Thursday from eight to four and Fridays from eight to two. Our phone number is 208.356.0065, and we are located between Porter's and Artco at 218 Dividend Dr. in Rexburg
