Last week this newspaper passed on the information about the high school programs in Superior and Lawrence. This week we’ll expand a little to comment on area schools and what changes will be coming about. To start our story, it is good to remember that the Nebraska Schools Activities Association (NSAA) checks student population numbers every two years to determine the number of boys and girls in each grade in high school. From these numbers, they divide the schools in classes: A, B, C-1, C-2, D-1, D-2, D-6. The D-6 is for six-man football only...
A number of residents of Lawrence may not remember 1998 for any specific reason, but that was a year of importance for the village’s residents. The village was having trouble with providing water for the residents as the existing wells were failing to supply the necessary water.

History . . . Does the Human Race really learn anything from history? I’ve always contended that we do. However, from the actions of Russia in the past few weeks, I’m beginning to change my mind. I’ve read much about the results of World War One and World War Two, along with those other conflicts (like Vietnam and Korea) that didn’t get categorized as “World Wars.” Reading about all the suffering, killings, and destruction that takes place in such event, I was about convinced we might just never see such events again. I was almost convinced w...
The past two weeks have been rough. It all started two weeks ago today when George woke feeling crummy. After a visit to the doc and some tests, it turned out he had COVID again. Thankfully, Jacob had been busy with Jacob things, and neither of us had been around him since the Friday before. So I told Jacob to stay away from the two of us. Jacob and I communicated by phone from across the hall when he was home in the evening, but for the most part, he would stay with friends until bedtime. I feel like I don’t see enough of that child regularly,...
