When I slow down, staring out the window late at night, it eats at me. It pulls at me. It bothers me, but I try to ignore it. Thirty years I’ve hunted whitetails. Not this year. It began in September. I could barely walk, and pulling back my bow was an exercise in frustration. It ramped up during rifle season. I knew I could sit for a while, but dragging and processing a deer would prove difficult, if not impossible. I waited. Each week I hoped the next weekend would find me healthy enough to s...
The Barnum girls basketball team showed the tall and the short of it against South Ridge Friday night in Barnum. In the first half, the Bombers rode the height of Allison Marine to a 32-20 lead over the Panthers - in the second half it was outside shooting of guard MaKenzee Schleret that led them to a final score of 71-48.

As I look back on this past year, I think to myself, “What did I learn? What have I done? What am I leaving for future generations?” I’ve been applyin...
Swamp. It's a word that can conjure negative thoughts and feelings. A place filled with dirty, dank, dark water. An area that is almost impassible and can literally suck your shoes right off. That swampy place where tons of much-hated mosquitos and swamp critters live and breed. Most landowners consider wetlands as useless areas that get in the way.
