Two contrasting styles hooked up in South Wayne last Friday night as the ground pounding Blackhawk/Warren Warriors played host to the air-it-out Southwestern/East Dubuque Warcats. And in a game that featured several huge plays and momentum swinging moments, in the end it was a last second Hail Mary that claimed the win for the Warcats. SW/ED came in with a lot of fire and emotion, and exploded right out of the gate as Zander Tierney took the opening kickoff, broke through a hole to his left,...

I’ve been a pastor now for about 31 years and we’ve had a lot of unique experiences along the way - mostly at weddings but a few have happened at other events too. For instance, there was one time when a couple were visiting family in Missouri and the husband passed away unexpectedly. His wishes were to be cremated, so his wife had him cremated in Missouri and she brought his ashes back to Illinois. But when she arrived in Illinois, the funeral home called and said they had given her the wro...
“Starting at defensive tackle for Lena-Winslow … Ian Cool” Hearing opposing PA announcers butcher a kid’s name – it was Ian “Keuhl” pronounced “Keel” – still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up in anger. Why does it tick me off and get under my skin? Well, you see for four years I was the Public Address Announcer at DePauw University. And the first lesson I learned from our Athletic Director was – “Don’t butcher the names!” It was part of my job to meet with someone – anyone – fro...
Kent Jacob Allen Green, 22 Jacob Allen Green was a young man whose heart belonged to the outdoors. He was born July 9, 2002 in Clinton, Iowa, the son of Randy and Jennifer (Krogman) Green. From the time he was a little boy, he wanted to be outside playing or working. He enjoyed the whisper of the wind through the trees and the satisfaction of a day spent working with his hands. Jacob was raised in a family that valued tradition, hard work, and the simple pleasures of life. He was known as an "old soul," someone who cherished the wisdom of his... Full story

Exercising would be much more rewarding if calories screamed while you burned them. Even duct tape can’t fix stupid, but it can muffle the sound. I didn’t fall, the floor just needed a hug. A police officer came to my house and asked me where I was between five and six. He seemed irritated when I answered ‘kindergarten’. They say money talks, but mine just waves good bye. When they say dog food is new and improved, who tastes it? Children: You spend the first three years of their life teaching them to walk and talk, then spend the next 16 year...

In a remarkable turn of events last week, Republicans and Democrats were aligned on supporting police and using fences and walls to keep people outside of spaces where they’re not supposed to be. No, pigs weren’t flying, and the underworld had not frozen over. Last week, the Democratic National Convention (DNC) was hosted in Chicago. When it came to protecting the Democratic elite, no expense or protective measure was spared. The Democratic bigwigs and the locations where they were meeting and...
