People could learn a lot about the advantages of working together by watching the television series Planet Earth.
“Well, who are you today?” I was recently asked by a friend. Sadly, I had to stop and think. Just the day before I had been an unnamed Confederate soldier relating how the battle at Helena, Arkansas on the Mississippi River had been lost. In great part, for want of a couple of timepieces. Ha…
Now that kids are back in school, families are settling into their new routines after a long summer break. It can certainly be a busy time for everyone. But this transition can also be a great opportunity to help our kids — and our households — build healthy behaviors that can carry through …
I know I usually use this time to share my parenting (and grandparenting) experiences for the purpose of helping you do the same. But every so often I like to change things up a bit, so that’s what we’re going to do. Sort of. This week I just want to give you some ideas on things you can do …
An approaching weather front with dropping temperatures prompted me to pack my waterfowl gear and head to a local lake early last week. I planned to take advantage of the early goose season, and bag a Canada goose or two for Thanksgiving.
In just a few days, on Saturday, Oct. 18, citizens from Salem, Dent County, and surrounding communities will join millions of Americans across the country in a nationwide day of nonviolent rallies at the second No Kings Day of Action.
In the September 18th Phelps focus capital report, Jason once again shows his total disconnect from reality! His headline read, "America has lost a warrior." That is so wrong on so many levels. For starters Charlie Kirk never spent any time in our military. His only rise to fame was for bein…
Wisconsin in the fall is magical. I was 8 the first time I visited. It was my first out-of-state fishing trip. My grandparents took me to Yellow Lake near Spooner. I’ve been in love with the Northwoods ever since. This past week reminded me why.
We did not choose Otis. We let our oldest dog, Thelma Lou pick him out. She was just a puppy. We felt strongly that Thelma deserved to choose her own brother since, after all, she would be the one stuck sniffing his butt for the next 12 years.
It's easy to tell that Mike Kehoe used to sell cars, maybe he still does when he is not busy being governor. He should know a lemon when he sees one, but he just signed off on a lemon for the voters of Missouri. Trump's Republican sycophants in Jefferson City did not want to be out dumbed by…
September is the best month for cloud-watching. The constant blue of summer gives way to changeable vistas overhead. The sky is filled with massive white sculptures.
Did you know that a mourning dove has 2,635 feathers?
Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away—actually, it wasn’t even a galaxy yet. This was a place before outer space. Before space-time. Before the universe.
Good morning, everyone.
September is many things. It’s the official end of summer, as the autumn equinox approaches. It is the month of the Harvest Moon, because harvests begin across the country to bring in the bounty of our great land. Too, September is the month of dove, teal, gigging and bow seasons. It’s an ex…
The other day I was speaking with the mom of a 5th grader who lives in the southwestern part of the state. She was asking my opinion on something that had taken place in her daughter’s 5th grade class a few days prior to our conversation.
Our high school was a cavern of shadowy hallways interrupted by windowed classrooms on either side. I stowed my lunch in my locker each morning and stepped into the melee of bodies traveling down the halls in trudging rhythm.
The political assassination of Charlie Kirk by a radicalized 22 year old has shocked and shattered our sense of normalcy.
Why is everyone waiting for the next ember to create a spark of anger in the cultural psyche? Is everyone so bored that being indignant about something is the only way to fulfill one’s days?
Surveys show that most of us place a high priority on our health and wellness. That’s probably not surprising to hear. But as common a goal as improving health is, it can sometimes feel like a mystery how we can actually work toward it, with busy days filled with work, family and other impor…
New exhibits, revamped displays, remodeled areas, creamy ice cream, and fresh squeezed lemonade made for a wonderful evening at the Shannon County Museum on Friday, Sept. 5. About 50 people attended—it was a great way to celebrate the end of our tenth year in our building.
Your wonderful indoor bathroom. If you’re under 50, you may not realize just how good you have it.
