Shout Out: Rush City Sex Offender Treatment Staff
By Michelle Saari
The OASIS sex offender treatment program has been severely short staffed recently resulting in one full time therapist and one therapist on loan from Lino Lakes to serve the entire program. While recruitment and hiring of new staff were a priority the past few months, Vicki Schroeder (the full time Rush City staff) and Maurita Christensen (on loan from LL) held the entire program together with the amazing support assistance of OAS Kathy Hanson.
These staff have been the glue holding the unit together running programming while helping to train-in new staff. Kristin Wittwer was also a huge help training-in staff prior to her transfer to case management.
THANK YOU for your incredible work the past few months to ensure incarcerated individuals continue to receive treatment. We could not do it without you and so appreciate your work and dedication to your clients and the facility.

Shout Out: ISR Supervisor Kelley Blake
By Shannon Van Alstine
I'd like to give a shout out to Supervisor, Kelley Blake.
I was in a time-crunch to get an important document to the courts. My supervisor was on vacation, and her coverage was also out of the office. Kelley is the ISR supervisor, so she doesn't work directly with me. Kelley was able to get the approvals I needed so I could get my document to the courts in a timely fashion. She offered to help, knowing it wasn't her responsibility.
Thank you Kelley for going above and beyond, being kind and quick to action! You made my day!!

Shout Out: Lawrence Anoke
By Danelle Gorra
Somehow I lost VPN access overnight recently and was panicked to find out the next morning logging in. Lawrence from the MNIT help desk restored access with patience, humor, and grace using several different strategies to resolve the issue.
When there is a lot to accomplish in a day, the last thing anyone needs is an IT issue and I can't stress enough how nice it is to know there is quick help at my fingertips.
