Worth Repeatin’

Body
I don’t do windows because…I love birds and don’t want one to run into a clean window and get hurt. I don’t wax floors because…I am terrified a guest will slip, hurt themselves, I’ll feel terrible and they may sue me.

Last week, as we prepared for Don’s Pickering Family Reunion, our daughter and grandson, came on three different days to help prepare for the event. Juliana also spent some time in the field and the shop helping with farming needs.

A Few Questions That Haunt Me

Body
How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered? What disease did cured ham actually have? How is it that we put a man on the moon before we figured out that it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage? Why is it that people say they “slept like a baby”, when babies wake up like every two hours? Why are you IN a movie, but you’re ON TV? Why do people pay to go up tall buildings, and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground? Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They are going to see you naked anyway… Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat? If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him? Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane? If the professor on Gilligan’s Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can’t he fix a hole in a boat? Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They’re both dogs! If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that Acme crap, why didn’t he just buy dinner?.

Letter To The Editor

Body
To The Community of Callaway: When I was approached last spring to cover the South Loup Bobcats sports teams for the local newspapers, I was excited and nervous. Covering sports is a big responsibility - especially in our small schools where we know the student athletes and their families.

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT: Dishman's Future Is Uncertan, But Sure To Be Fun

Editor’s Note: Each CHS senior was required to do a career presentation, in which they share their future plans and life goals, for the Senior College Prep class. The seniors then gave the presentation to the entire student body. For the past 12 weeks we have shared those presentations with you, and conclude this week with our final senior.

Body
Have you been deceived? When the Founders established our government, did they give us a democracy or a republic? If you have been led to believe that our country is a democracy, you have been deceived!

Remembering The Good Old Days

Body
A little house with two bedrooms and one car on the street, A mower that you had to push, to make the grass look neat. In the kitchen on the wall, we only had one phone, And no need for recording things – someone was always home.

Letter to the Editor

Body
To All Concerned: America’s founders gave us a Constitutional Republic. Because of them, we were born free. But we could die as slaves because we have, as a people, lost sight of these basic truths: 1) Freedom cannot exist without morality. Without sufficient character and moral fortitude, we cannot govern ourselves.
