Last year, CCHS kicked off their football season against the Richey/Lambert Fusion and lost 6-68. This year, Blue took on the Fusion in week two of the regular season. CCHS came out of the gates quickly as senior Caleb Fix ran the opening kickoff back 73 yards for a touchdown. The Dogs failed to convert the extra point try. On their first defensive series, Blue held the Fusion to a third and long before surrendering a long conversion and an eventual touchdown. At that point, the flood gates seemed to open for Richey/Lambert...
It comes as no surprise to local residents that my husband enjoys his vegetable garden. It is fenced to protect from hungry deer, although we haven’t seen many deer this year. His rows are straight, and rain keeps the plants watered, or we have a well when rain needs to be supplemented. While seed catalogs arrive in January and February, Brice forgot to order seeds this year; he was forced to use seeds left over for a year or two. They all produced in spite of age. We have been enjoying the tastes of garden plants, the f...
Hello, I don’t know why we celebrate Labor Day. We should have a day to celebrate not working. Maybe it’s because if you are involved in animal agriculture, every day is labor day.

A family dinner was held at noon on Saturday and everyone who attended had worked up an appetite after two hours of picture taking. A picture...

Over the last few years, Hahn has put on the training at several schools throughout the state. Much of the training was focused on changing old concepts. In the past, trainings mostly taught employees a "lockdown and hide" method. Hahn showed grave...
