A column I wrote for Sunday, Oct. 18 focuses on the opening of a new home for the Down Syndrome Association of the Valley.

To help tell the story, I interviewed Christina Neer, a mom from Deerfield in neighboring Portage County. Her son, Luke, 8, has Down syndrome. She says his birth has become a gift to her and her husband.
