I get a lot of satisfaction out of writing. I like gathering information and flowing it into what will hopefully become a nice narrative, news story or whatever I am writing. But the most satisfaction I get out of writing is watching a project all come together. The first newspaper job I had was at a small daily in Rawlins. My beat was the Rawlins area and the Rawlins Town Council. All I was ever required to do was write stories daily and hand them to my editor. After that stage, I left for the...
Have you ever experienced something so beautiful it made you cry? Could have been a simple act of kindness or seeing a loved one after a long separation. Or perhaps hearing voices sing so sweetly you think you have gone celestial. This time of the year, there are many moments that bring the joyful tears to my eyes. Anytime I hear “Silent Night,” a choir hitting all the right notes in a Christmas program, and little children shyly talking to Santa Claus, I empty the tear bank. I am no cream puf... Full story

Pawnee lost by two points Dec. 17 against Union Colony. The small margin showed great improvement in the team, said Coach Tim Brunelle. "I thought we showed tremendous improvement in this game compared to the previous games," he said. "We are starting to move the ball around better and are more decisive offensively." Brunelle said the improvement was due to better defense. "Our defense kept us in the game during the rough spots where we had trouble scoring,". I am happy with our improvement so...

After the parade, the United Methodist Church hosted a chili feed. More than 150 people had dinner and donated to the free will donation. The donations will benefit two families in the...
Twas the day after Christmas and all through Albin, not a creature was stirring, not even a bunny. The farmers were content the cattle were fed and a few extra cuttings kept them smiling as they went to bed. The families welcomed home loved ones from afar and asked them to stay, even if they had a car. The community center was closed. No swimming, exercising or dining to be had Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. No parties to attend New Years Eve. No coffee to drink over discussions of the new calendar New Years Day. Jillian and Jillian (no, not... Full story

Although family members living at home won’t put it at the top of their list, those familiar faces that you only get to see during the holidays usually miss terribly their favorite foods prepared by family hands. Even college students and young adults out on their own come home not only to see family but to taste the distinct flavor of home. They might get pancakes in the hash line or at the corner cafe, but not with a dash of vanilla, buttermilk and cinnamon. And those souls connected to us by... Full story
