    Publisher’s Perspective Chad Koenen Murphy’s Law states that if something could go wrong it most likely would.  For parents that means a kid who has been home all day will tell you at 5:30 p.m. that their ear hurts on a Friday night.

For instance, the prevailing emotion of younger Republican politicians and activists these days is anger. For them, anger is justified insanity coming from… Read More

    The Prairie Spy Alan “Lindy” Linda Peter P. Bogden, bless his departed soul, was a strong old bachelor who lived next farm over when we first moved up here 50 winters ago.

    Garver’s Movie Review Bob Garver Standard disclaimer for any and all “PAW Patrol” media: I am not the target audience for “PAW Patrol.” The target audience for “PAW Patrol” is young children and only young children.

    By Sonny Albarado Arkansas Advocate There’s been a lot of hand-wringing in recent years about the death of local newspapers, those bastions of democracy and chroniclers of community. While the loss of any newspaper hurts the people they serve, residents of rural areas and small towns are hit especially hard when a newspaper shuts down. When a… Read More
