(Editor's note: I had written a few questions to Bailey and she wrote this. It was fun to watch her lift) LIFT fitness is where it all started for me. When I couldn't play basketball because of my concussion history, I turned to CrossFit, thinking it would be temporary and I would be back on the court in no time. That did not necessarily happen, so I became consistent with CrossFit starting in 2019. From there, I was all in. I signed up for competitions and started to really invest myself in...
Saint Margret Mary's Catholic Church held a community fish fry last Friday for Lent. A steady stream of patrons came through during my time at the event, which is noteworthy as there was a wrestling event in town that evening. The Fish Fry was held as a fundraiser for the youth program, which set up the event, served guests, and ensured that those who attended had an enjoyable experience. They will be holding a second fundraiser fish dinner on March 31st, which will feature fish tacos rather...
During public comment, a letter was read. Day's Inn sent a letter to Big Sandy commenting on how wonderful the Big Sandy boys are. (Please read the letter to the editor) The Chauvet family wants to pay it forward: They asked permission to improve Pioneer Court Yard with a new permanent Fence, power to light up the area, rock-like from Sibra, fixing the wagon and the pioneer. It will have professional landscaping, as presented to the school board. Dan Schrock talked about future maintenance proje...
It is the Lenten season, which is the 6 weeks preceding Easter in the church calendar. Last week, I dug into the origins of fasting or giving things up for lent. In the process of researching the early church origins of the practice, I was surprised to find that they began in the earliest days of the church. This brought up many additional questions about Easter traditions. Easter Eggs, in particular, has often seemed wholly unrelated to the story of the crucifixion, death, and resurrection of Jesus. The connection never seemed obvious to me....

Your time is like water. Water naturally flows from higher places to lower ones. In the same way, everyone has both strengths (higher places) and weaknesses (lower places). We tend to spend less time in our areas of natural talent and more in areas where we struggle. I came across this strange law of time management recently in a lecture from a gifted preacher. He explained that public speaking has always been easy for him due to an abundance of natural talent. He didn’t have to try hard, train, or prep to preach above-average sermons. So, h...
When I walk into The Grocery Store and grab a diet coke and pringles, and the cashier rings up $4.00, that’s what I pay, and I pay it before leaving the Store. Same thing when I take my truck in for an oil change. I pay the posted price of the oil change and if the mechanic finds something else that needs fixing, I get a quote of what it’s going to cost before anything else is done to my truck. If I approve the repair, the work is scheduled with the mechanic and the repair gets done and then I pay the quoted price. Not so with paying your hea...
They had two weeks to rest, heal and prepare. I wanted to ask the Pioneer team if they were ready for state. Kody Strutz said, "Yes, Ma'am! After playing eight games in two weeks, I've been working on getting my health back to where it needs to be. He is "Getting locked in mentally in the last weeks in practice." Lustre doesn't scare him. Kody believes being from 9C will help them. Wylee Snapp said, "Yes, of course! The way we played at divisionals, I know we can get state too. I think it was...
