"Unfortunately, though most of them can't come to town, Ag Day is for all of our agricultural producers and a celebration of what they do for consumers," said Marko Manoukian, Phillips County Extension...

  • Old dog, no new tricks

    Parker Heinlein, Outdoors columnist|Mar 14, 2018

    My wife and I live with a pack of dogs -- one a pup, one in his prime, one a few years past his prime, and an old girl whose expiration date is long past due. As much as I love dogs I never expected to have four of them at the same time. Three, sure, but not four. Four is encroaching upon weird cat lady territory. It’s not happenstance, but instead part of a great plan. When each dog reached its prime, I’d get another puppy. Spacing them four or five years apart would assure I’d always...
