To the Editor: In the 12 years I have been active in politics, I have been blessed to work with a positive group of Lincoln County Republicans. Through two spirited presidential primaries, we’ve shared common values while making room for many opinions on how to advance those values. In the end, we support the shared goals of the Republican party and the candidates who will carry the battle forward. What we don’t have is a process for making endorsements in an all Republican general election, such as the one we face in the...

God’s hands took another angel home on October 12, 2014. Lydia was born March 19, 1909, in Teplitz, a German settlement near the Black Sea in Russia. After marrying Jakob Knoell in 1940, their entire village was relocated to Germany and they worked on a state-run farm. In 1945, after her husband was captured and spent nearly five years in various labor camps in Western Russia, she became a refugee, supporting herself and her young daughter by whatever means she could. After they were reunited in 1949, Jakob, Lydia, and t...
Wheat markets have enjoyed a little bit of a bounce over the last 10 days. Cash markets are about $.20 off their lows and future markets are about $.30 off their lows. Part of it has been a correction from oversold technical conditions, part of it has been a stabilization of world wheat prices, but most of this correction has been due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar. The dollar has had an impressive rally since July and that in turn pressured commodities in general and wheat in particular. Last week Chicago wheat futures...

Last week we were caught a bit unawares by the celebration of National 4-H Week. Since we also had fall sports scheduled for that week, we had a rather full paper.

At those talks I’m often asked a basic question about climate that, until now, has stumped scientists. Here’s the background. In the 1830s, a Swiss naturalist named Louis Agassiz started promoting the idea that Europe had once been enveloped in a cold time in which large areas had been covered in glacial ice. He called that interval “the Ice Age...
