I had hopes 2022 would be calmer, better family health, and less excitement. One out of three isn't bad. Cleo is muddling along and holding her own – calmer and less excitement. Well, the jury is still out on the rest. Last Sunday I went to feed the cats, and could see the pile of iron that a pickup was blocking. Someone had stolen my truck. I alerted the police and called the usual suspects (friends) that might have borrowed it. The officer told me it probably was sitting somewhere around t...
Joe Budney was a happy-go-lucky student at Northwestern during the 1960’s, and generous to a fault. He always paid more than his share of school expenses despite having to live a very Spartan existence to make ends meet. At the end of each school year in the spring, he gave most of his belongings away to lighten the load on his aging Chevrolet Malibu convertible while making the trip back home to South Bend, Indiana. It was not at all unusual for Budney to drop by a group at the student union and pick up the tab for everyone’s coffee. In the...

High prices for conventional feed supplements have producers scrambling for methods to reduce costs this winter. One of the best ways to reduce costs is to improve feeding accuracy when providing winter supplements. How accurate is your cake or cube feeder? All feeders distribute slightly different amounts of supplement and variability can occur between different feed types (blended, cubes, pellets). To help producers improve feeding accuracy, OSU Extension is hosting a series of Feeder Calibration Clinics in the area. The Clinics in Woods Coun...

He did not have a mayor’s report, and City Business Manager Angelica Brady was absent so there was no report from her. There were no m... Full story

When Neil Crittenden heard that an extreme winter storm was about to hit Oklahoma last winter, he did what officials advised him to do and kept his heat on and water running so that his pipes wouldn’t freeze.
