All the recipes are based on items you would grow in a garden or home orchard. Dark Chocolate...

DAVENPORT –Depending on what part of Lincoln County you're in, wheat harvest is either winding down, ramping up or right at its peak. Closer to the county seat, wheat farmers tend to be in the middle of harvest, with most Reardan-area farmers not far behind, conversations with stakeholders and farmers indicate. Further south, most Harrington farmers are nearing the end of harvest, while many Odessa-area farmers are wrapping up their harvest seasons. "As a company, we're o...
Imagine for a moment there was a small brush fire creeping towards your house and you call 911 only to be told the fire department was not allowed to put out your fire.

Note: This is Part 1 of a sermon from July 4, 2021 and is slightly adapted from the original. Part 2 will be in next week’s issue of The Record-Times.
