    Derek Hann|Updated Oct 4, 2019

  • Beaver trapping agendas could ruin Beaver Creek Park

    Updated Oct 4, 2019

    Is our park board being unduly influenced by animal rights advocates, especially when it comes to Beaver Creek Park?

  • View from the North 40: All this for one little shower stall?

    Pam Burke|Updated Oct 4, 2019

    Anticipation and Dread are like fraternal twins separated at birth, one raised by well-adjusted and supportive parents to think positively, and the other raised by well-meaning, but vaguely clueless people who mistake stillness and silence for maturity rather than the terror and general malaise it represented. Anticipation confidently looks forward to things happening, expecting positive outcomes — or at least expecting to be able to formulate and execute solutions that will o...

    George Ferguson|Updated Oct 4, 2019

The love's not gone, it's safe inside ... but when you left, part of me died. Remembering the oath we shared... but this heart pain is hard to bear. You're missed so very much each day...we loved you more than words can say. No words can tell - or flowers repay - the loss we had on that sad day. If memories connected us......

  • Hello, God. It's me, Mara.

    Updated Oct 4, 2019

    You know, Lord, a little blurb told how a grandpa developed a delicious jelly using a powdered grape drink. He even won some blue ribbons at the country fair. He sat at the table spreading a half-inch thick serving of jelly on his toast when his wife asked him if he didn’t think that was a little much, to which he replied, “I made it. I guess I can have as much as I want.” Hummmm, we thought, what about those little crabapples out there on that tree, just begging to be made into something! So, off we went to picking ’em,...

  • Out Our Way: I carry a rope - Isaiah 41:13-14

    Updated Oct 4, 2019

    Out our way, Charlie and I always rode with a rope, and although I am a terrible roper, I was awful glad I had it with me one day when we were checking fence on a friend's property. The area was up in the hills, and there were lots of trees and thickets, unlike the wide open hills and prairies we usually worked on Tiger Ridge. The cattle had been pushed out that fall, and Charlie and I were just checking fence before they were moved back into the upper pasture for the summer....
