This past weekend with the National Guard did not involve firing ranges, roaring engines, or anything even remotely resembling a tank. No camouflage-face-paint, no action-movie moments, no "tell me about your drill weekend" stories that would impress anyone at a bar. Instead, I voluntarily spent a full eight hours learning how to stand still. I signed up for Honor Guard training, which, if you don't know, is the unit responsible for military funerals. The ones who show up...
Start the new year with a pantry tidy, and not harboring any ancient products too old to use. Set aside 15 minutes to go through and pull any items past or nearing use by dates. Toss anything you wont use and decide what to make with the remaining items, then work them into your January menus. Part of a package of pancake mix, Chow Mein noodles, bean sprouts, water chestnuts, tomato paste, sliced peaches, whole-berry cranberry sauce, corn muffin mix, mandarin oranges and a jar...

Sure, Lincoln County may not lack events from spring through fall, but once winter rolls in, the cheer and excitement seem to hibernate alongside the local squirrels. So this year, your intrepid editor packed up Winnie the Wiener Dog and her Air Force friend for a chilly, thrilling New Year's Eve adventure in Leavenworth. Our first day in town offered a curious spectacle: Leavenworth without snow. Children slid down barely frosted grassy hills on sleds, squealing with a mix...

Christmas this year came with a co-pilot, four very short legs, and absolutely no concept of moderation. Winnie, my mini dachshund, traveled out of county with me and fully committed to the holiday spirit. While I packed the usual human essentials, Winnie arrived with one goal in mind: celebrate everything. Every room. Every snack. Every person who made the mistake of sitting down. Winnie is firmly convinced that Christmas is her season, and honestly, she makes a compelling...

Happy New Year! When this issue is in print it will be the new year. I like to start the new year with a pantry reorganizing session and gather together items that either need using up soon or won’t get used by the pull date and get them donated where they will be used. I have finished up repurposing Christmas dinner leftovers into soups and casseroles to have on hand when needed. Now a head start on some snacks, cookies and dips for Bowl Game season. Cranberry Teacakes are a butter cookie with flavored gelatin as part of t...

REARDAN – Instead of being pulled in a sleigh by eight tiny reindeer, Santa Claus arrived at the Community Hall on Saturday, Dec. 20, atop a bright red fire truck. The unusual entrance delighted local children and marked the start of Christmas week. In the past, the Reardan Lions Club and Lincoln County Fire District 4 hosted separate Christmas events for children. This year they joined forces to host the Reardan Hometown Christmas. Youngsters of all ages, some timid, o...
DAVENPORT — With Santa Claus expected to arrive in Lincoln County between 9 p.m. and midnight on Wednesday, Dec. 24, the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office is preparing for a busy Christmas Eve, reminding residents that patrols will be active while also ensuring Santa’s annual mission proceeds without interference. “With Santa expected to arrive this Wednesday, I’d like to take a minute to remind you that patrols will be covering the county, keeping watch for those who might qualify for the naughty list,” Lincoln County Sher...
Last week, I made what I thought was an innocent, wholesome decision: I took my dog, Winnie, to get her Christmas photo taken with Santa at the local doggy day-care center. I imagined a tasteful holiday keepsake. Maybe a gentle paw on Santa's knee. A framed photo I could send to relatives to prove I'm a functional adult with festive priorities. Instead, Winnie treated Santa like an obstacle course. The moment she was placed on his lap, she clawed at his beard like it owed her...
