Zach Jones has been working hard on getting better at roping for his Working Ranch Horse project. He said, "The wind has been a challenge, but I am enjoying it just the same."

His brother, Colton Jones said, "I am working hard on my leather project and other projects as well. I miss my school friends, but am having fun at home. We hardly ever see anyone, so we already know...
If the growth of fields and lawns seems a bit behind this year, there's good reason for the delay - Broadus hit three record lows during the month of April. On April 3rd, the mercury fell to -1, on the 13th the low was 10, and on the 14th the low was 12 degrees. The unseasonably low temps set back plant growth, though seasonably average temps later in the month promoted growth. The -1 recording on April 3rd was only the second time on record that a below zero reading was recorded in April, in Br...
The Senior Class of 2020 has had a senior experience unlike any other, with the coronavirus shut down affecting nearly every facet of the final months of their high school careers. The class has missed out on their senior prom, their senior trip, spring sports, a "normal" graduation, after grad party, and numerous other events. On top of that, they miss the final few months of school – that special golden hour, not unlike the time between sunset and darkness, when seniors are "masters of t...
Courtesy PR Extension Office It’s spring and gardening is in the air. Whether you want to ensure a fresh food supply or simply get outside and test your green thumb, there are many resources available to help you grow a vegetable garden.

B.I.P.A Ballot Interference Prevention Act In the November 2018 General election, LR129 passed with 69% approval, which implemented the ballot interference prevention act, or BIPA. Under BIPA, election administrators are required to have all ballot collectors register their contact information and each voter’s address for every ballot they deliver on behalf of another voter. The law states 1 collector per 6 ballots. This law does not apply to ballots dropped in the mail. Basically, if someone wants to deliver a ballot other than their own, I a...

By Joe Stuver Continued from last week. I had many fine adventures with Vicky and Natalie in past years, and continued on with several very fun road trips this year. My respect for Angel, who is 6’1” and weighs probably 210, soared on the news that Mony had awakened to burglars breaking into the place across the street. While she called the police, Angel grabbed up a machete and ran across the way to confront the burglars. He had them chased off by the time the police arrived. At the beginning and end of my many trips to Jarredaradas, I am als...

By Kerry Gardner Well, how has everyone been during this Shelter In Place? Some people were calving and lambing and there was no change for them. Others found this to be a challenge, not seeing family or friends or going out of their house. In the health care field, there has been some changes and we have had to adjust to several different ways to treat patients. We are moving forward with Powder River Health Fair on June 11, 2020 at the Community Center and there will be changes on how we do this. Due to keeping the number of people inside at...

By Joe Stuver In past years, I’ve lived much closer to my family of friends and favorite restaurants and street food vendors, but this year I was much farther away, so I spent a lot of time “commuting,” back and forth to the little village of Jarrtaderas. I finally actually learned how to properly pronounce the name correctly, thanks to a half hour of patient tutoring. The Mexican Js and Gs always give me fits. Those who have not spent time in little villages have not really seen Mexico. They are very happy places, full of happy sounds: playi...
