Well it is a cool morning here in our little valley, it has not been real bad cold yet this winter, but I think next week a front is suppose to come through and then it is going to turn colder, hopefully by Christmas day it will really feel like winter. The cats were already up this morning and here for their breakfast, but they do not like these colder days, they ate in a hurry and went back to their beds. I have got my Christmas tree lights on and my Christmas music playing and I have got a cup of hot coffee, it sure is a nice morning. We do...

hen eight-year-old Katherine walked into class, the teacher looked at the clock. It was almost noon. Few students came to school that late without a good reason. “Well, Katherine,” the teacher said, “would you like to tell us why you’re so late?” “A moose,” Katherine replied. “A moose?” the teacher asked, skeptically. “I can’t just write ‘a moose’ as a reason on the late slip. The secretary will think I’m crazy. What about a moose?” “Well, a moose wandered into our yard this morning,” Katherine said. “The dogs decided to chase her. They cha...
e terrible weather with thunder, lightning, hail and lots of heavy rain, it rained so hard you could barely see the lines on the road and so much water that one had to be careful that it did not cover the windshield and completely destroy the view of the road. We made it home safely and are very thankful for that. There was some tornado damage in some parts of the state and even several deaths as a result. Those I know of who are sick either at home, in nursing facilities or in the hospitals are: Kasey Baker, Jerry Barber, Joyce Barnes, Colene...

A course is a course, of course of course … Or is it? According to those madcap bean-counters at the National Golf Foundation, the number of off-course golfers (those going to simulators, driving ranges and entertainment venues such as Topgolf) recently surpassed the number of traditional on-course golfers in the United States. For the sake of full disclosure, I am neither a traditional golfer nor a high-tech golfer. But I do enjoy playing miniature golf with my wife and son when we’re on vac...
This particular time of year has always struck me as odd, especially mid-December. It’s a time filled with the hustle of finishing decorations and Christmas shopping, yet there’s also the waiting period for Christmas Day to arrive. This season is marked by a mix of anxiety and excitement, a limbo waiting period for both Christmas and the anticipation of the New Year. It’s easy to get lost in the uproar, forgetting the dreams and aspirations that fuel our passions. To-do lists and computer screen time dominate our attention, but in the backgroun...

I’m glad we’re having robust discussions about our public schools, as demonstrated in several articles in the November 30th issue of the Herald. One item of funding that Sen. Hensley and others have reacted to is the requirement to use federal money to provide free school lunches. It’s always important to make sure our tax dollars are used efficiently and are having the desired impact. Many studies have shown that when students are well-nourished, they perform better academically and are less disruptive at school. Children who do well in school...
