Body Like many of you, I’m sure you’ve had a host of cellular phones. They used to come in all shapes and sizes and even colors if you wanted it - now we’re all stuck with these super computer flat things that cost way too much and break way too easily.

Body Here’s one not so much for the kids. On July 16 there is a new law coming to Nebraska - one that bans - effectively - online collections of ...prurient material.

Body Over the last 20 years or so I’ve had the distinct honor to play “Taps” for our local Legion Club in Plainview. I’ve visited a number of cemeteries, I’ve played in winter, summer, fall, spring - when the call roll call comes, no one can avoid it.

Body Dear Motor Medics, So what’s a guy to do? I have a 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP Turbo. Over the past year I have been adding power steering fluid.

Body Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and compassionate. Joel 2:13 “No! I didn’t do it!” I heard my teenage son’s denial with a sinking heart, for I knew he wasn’t telling the truth.

Body I’m a big fan of forgiveness and grace – I have to be, I’m a newspaper publisher. I’ll be the first one to admit that I – occasionally – make mistakes, perhaps more than occasionally, but the problem with my mistakes is that they’re rarely private things I can sweep under the rug.

Body Dear Editor, Mid-afternoon on Saturday, May 11 at the junction of Highway 14 and Highway 56, two vehicles were stopped. Until the eastbound driver in a red body, black top Bronco/ Jeep type vehicle decided to pull onto Highway 14 in front of my southbound red Ford Focus.

Body As I sit to write this first of hopefully many columns to come – I wanted to make sure everyone understood what this adventure in Albion means to my family.

Body As it turned out, last weekend probably wasn’t the best time to be out of town. Julie and I were in Lincoln for the annual Nebraska Press Association Convention on Friday and Saturday.
