I've tried growing watermelons and didn't do well. They were tasty but very small. Really not even large enough for a serving for one person. So when I heard about the giant watermelons Tim and Alisha Michaud were growing, I have to admit I was skeptical. You see, watermelons aren't supposed to grow here, at least not the big ones. But, at the same time, it had my curiosity aroused. Most people know Alisha as the Director of the Senior Center in Pine Bluffs, which is how I first met her, too. I...

Are we really too busy to do more than just fill our bellies with snacks and prepared or processed foods? For me, a little preparation is well worth the benefits. The obvious fact is that foods have...

Dear Editor: Is God bringing light into the darkness in America? Are people ready to exchange political and media fantasy for truth and reality? The core thrust of the US Constitution is limited federal government with the main government being state and local, "Grassroots," while not infringing on the rights and freedoms of the citizens but still protecting the citizens. How do citizens protect themselves from the illegal activities of the government, be it illegal immigration and human trafficking, illegal Covid restrictions and mandates,...
