Lexie Selting, daughter of Dixie (LaBree) Selting and Jamie Selting, wore a 57 year old dress to Fairview's prom on April 22.

I’ve been watching lots of advertisements for cars. Maybe those are more generously assigned to baseball games that I watch most evenings. Brands start with 2017 models of Toyota, Honda, Kia, Hyundai, Nissan, Volkswagen, Subaru, Audi, Lincoln, Cadillac, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Lexus, Ford, and Chevy. Henry Ford would be astounded at the changes made. Ford and Chevy trucks don’t advertise much in urban areas where professional baseball contests are held. These cars have reduced fuel consumption, but it doesn’t take a lot of fuel to give those little...

Hello, Sometimes I worry about Shirley. Well, I’ve always worried about her. Do you remember about fifteen years ago when the bull nearly got her? She walked into a pen very nonchalantly, like the Queen she really is. And this bad bull took after her. It chased her up a fence and she got her coveralls hooked on a nail. The bull had her. I mean he had her nailed to the fence. And he must have realized who she was. That bull just stood there pawing and bellering and blowing snot on her south end! I shouldn’t have laughed. Then there was the tim...
