REARDAN–Pat Hogan found his life's calling in serving others. His joy is infectious, and his encouragement knows no bounds. But it wasn't always like that. As a child growing up on Waukon Road, east of town, Hogan had to compete with a bottle for his father's attention. Alcohol in his home made his childhood "painful." After attending school in Edwall for eight years, he transferred to Reardan for the ninth grade. During his sophomore year, his father, driving drunk, hit a t...
DAVENPORT-One day, he's conducting elementary schoolers through their annual Christmas concert. Another, he's stirring up the crowd while announcing an ASB wrestling meet.

"You talk about someone who has been here the longest and seen it all,...
DAVENPORT—It’s budget season, and the “largest” local budget is that of Lincoln County.

Chief accountant Rhonda Luiten shared department figures with The Record-Times and said these figures likely won’t be adjusted before the budget is finalized. The costliest current expense item budgeted is Sheriff ope...

DAVENPORT-For the first five minutes of the rivalry boys basketball matchup between Reardan and Davenport, it looked like the visiting Screaming Eagles might have figured something out about the Gorillas.

But Brown completely glosses over the underlying problem small businesses face when they first start; that is, over complex...
Question Just out of curiosity, why do people concerned about the quality of care at the clinic or anywhere in the OMHC run to Facebook 411? Instead of taking this concern, where the issue can be discussed with the board of directors at OMHC? I assume it has much to do with convenience or laziness. All this does is further drive down public confidence in the OMHC. This in my opinion, is one of the bigger reasons for our excellent facilities’ decline in patient usage. After all, we are one of only two towns in Lincoln C...
Question: What is meant by the term protein degradability and what does it mean for beef cows? Protein degradability is a term used in ruminant nutrition and therefore applies only to ruminant animals like cattle, sheep, and goats, etc. To get a handle on this concept let’s define crude protein (CP), and how it is measured, and then relate it to ruminant nutrition. The CP content of feed is measured by analyzing for the total nitrogen (N) in the feed and multiplying by 6.25 (...
