    By Tyler Trieglaff Notes from the Chief Notes from the Farm…Well, sale day last Monday is a little like a holiday on the farm. Gearing up for the one major sale of the year, seeing the years’ hard work pay off. We left the farm at 6:30 a.m., with 17 calves from the neighbors and one fat… Read More

    The Prairie Spy Alan “Lindy” Linda I was 16 years old, still on the farm, eager to make money. So when Virgil, who had just purchased the neighboring farm, hired me, I was eager to go.

    Garver’s Movie Review Bob Garver All January long, I’ve been mentioning (okay, “whining”) that the month is a dead zone for new movie releases. So it makes sense that the biggest release of the month would be one that opened on the very last day (Friday the 31st) before making most of its money in February…. Read More

    The Prairie Spy Alan “Lindy” Linda I am looking south through the large glass windows of this house. Large glass windows that I installed 40-plus years ago because of winter. And the heat loss in the winter through those large windows? Lots, but how wonderful it is to sit here and see the world out there, as… Read More

They also mentioned other ways a person can have their license suspended that I was not aware about. Can you write about that?   Answer: Your… Read More

    Garver’s Movie Review Bob Garver I notice that I’ve given a “C” rating to every movie I’ve reviewed in 2025. That’s four straight times I’ve basically said that the movie, while not worth writing off entirely, isn’t worth recommending. I even split the review last weekend and gave out two “C” ratings. Director Mel Gibson’s “Flight… Read More

    Garver’s Movie Review Bob Garver Since two new releases made about $11 million each at the domestic box office this past weekend, and since I don’t have much to say about either movie, I’ve decided to throw them both a quick review.  “Wolf Man” January horror movies are a special breed. The studio knows they can’t compete… Read More
