The Son Never Shines on Closed Doors — Flogging Molly Texas is a hot and miserable state in the summer time. It is humid, crowded, full of bugs and just generally uncomfortable. But, despite all this, I had to go there. For more than 10 years my parents have called San Antonio home. They moved to the Lone Star state, after an extended stay in Kansas, to be closer to my grandfather. My mom wanted to be around for her father as he approached his final years. Now, with grandpa gone, my parents d...
This column is an open call for Interior Secretary Sally Jewell to disavow the National Blueways Order. If you are wondering what a “Blueway” is, you are not alone.

So what is a Blueway? According to Interior official Rebecca Wodder, a Blueway is a “pat on the back” that will bring “recognition to big river systems...

In other policy work, the board passed on second reading two policies pertaining to board hearing proce... Full story
Cheyenne Frontier Days kicked off last weekend. The music, the cowboys, the rides, and I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t pay homage to the food. Next to Old Frontier Town on your walk over to Indian Village, is a section of chuck wagons. Most days they boil, sear, and bake meals our pots and pans haven’t even imagined. The cast iron skillet and dutch oven are staples for campfire cooking. But just because you own a Kenmore, doesn’t mean you can’t try your skills in cast iron. If you’re looking for su...
Hello Banner County, neighbors near and far. Harvest has been underway for quite some time now and so of course we have had a couple of nice rain showers, we sure need the rain, and I don’t think it has delayed the harvest much.

In recent years Mrs. Wynne has resided in Scottsbluff. Surviving family still living in Harrisburg is son, Bill W...
The Bushnell Day committee would like to thank Kimball State Bank & Insurance and First Tier Bank in Kimball for sponsoring this year’s Bushnell Day entertainment. We are trying something different for Bushnell Day (Saturday, Aug. 17) this year — vendors do not need to sign up in advance or pay a fee to have a booth. Spaces will only be available in the park, not the community center. And it’s all first come, first serve — so get there early for a good spot! Tables and chairs will NOT be prov...
For the special this week Steve Hauer sang “Another Soldier’s Coming Home.” The church extends their sympathy to the families of Joan Lynch and Orie Hill.

That is to follow the law of the Lord, the Ten Commandments. And the more you concentrate on Jesus, the more you will become like him. Knowing God builds strength and confidenc...

It’s my birthday. When I was a kid I dedicated an hour or so every day the week before my birthday waiting for the mailman to show up with cards. Funny how he always knew when it was my birthday. ;) I still look for cards to show up in my mailbox and while on card watch this year I found it, the thing that all people my age look for — an invitation to join AARP. I got a huge laugh 25 years ago when my ex got his invitation. Being 24 he was more than a touch insulted. Not me (at least not now...
