You Throw Like A Girl

Last Wednesday, the Wilber-Clatonia girls softball team took on Milford. As a successful, world-renowned sportswriter, always at the ready, my boss asked me to go take some pictures of the game. Naturally, I said yes, because a fifty-plus-year-old man standing around in a park, taking pictures of teenage girls isn’t creepy at all.

Look At The Past

It is a snapshot of our past and reflects on our future. How well you take care of your past will tell you how well you will be prepared for the future. Remember, history repeats itself.
The Jefferson County Historical Society has been diligently working to maintain and repair several key properties in the county. There are a ton of efforts going right now to fix up the former Rock Island Depot Museum, the Diller Museum and an array of other buildings, including the church and former school in Steele City.

Halloween Movie Challenge I: Monster Dearest

Published by admin on Fri, 10/04/2019 - 1:17pm
The internet steals from newspapers all the time. How about, for once, a newspaper steals from the internet instead? Every October, goggle-eyed weirdos on social media challenge one another to watch at least horror movie every single day. I’m not sure when Halloween went from being one day to a whole month, but I’m a spooky movie fan, so I’ll give it a shot.

October. The time of year for all things spooky. Like breakfast cereal.

Wings

In the life of an eagle, comes a very important moment when it is time to fly. If this does not happen, the eaglet will stay in the nest, unable to soar, unable to hunt, unable to catch anything to eat. In the nest, the eaglet spends time imitating its parents, by flapping its wings and hopping from branch to branch. The moment comes when the parent eagle hovers above the nest and flaps its wings. This is a nurturing and protective action. This is a vital step in forming an adult eagle. 

Aaargh! There Be Pirates Afoot

The U.S. government is looking into tech giants like Google and Yahoo for anti-trust laws, wondering if they are a monopoly. If I were the government, I’d look into them possibly as more of a mafia than a monopoly.
For Google in particular, I am wary of the company.

To the Editor:
Until my husband, Bob Butler, went to live in Heritage Care three years ago, I never knew what a wonderful place Heritage was. He was given so much loving care. Everyone on staff always took time to stop and say “Hello.” Hospice was so helpful and let Bob’s family know what to expect.
The last few days Bob was with us, Hospice and the staff gave him constant care. They always made sure the family was comfortable, too.

Spin For The Win

One of my many roles here at The Fairbury Journal-News is that of award-winning sports writer. (Technically, I am an award-winning sports writer in much the same way Paris Hilton is, technically, an actor). Naturally, when the brutal spectacle of one of the world’s most competitive, unforgiving athletic endeavors needed to be covered for the newspaper, I was the only man for the job. Literally. I mean, I was the only one here.
