For decades, a fixture of Wright County government has been the county board of commissioners convening meetings at 9 a.m. every Tuesday – with the exception of conflicts with holidays or five Tuesdays falling in a given month.

After a less-than-white Christmas and New Year’s season, it seems winter is making up for its slow arrival by coming in with a bang all across the Midwest.
Senior meteorologists with AccuWeather state that the entire Midwest will be swallowed up in a polar vortex, which began on Sunday, January 27...
Exploring the desert at night ranks up there as one of my most favorite adventures. Recently, I was in the Sonoran Desert in southern Arizona searching for the elusive Western Screech-Owl. After driving many miles deep into the dark desert, I had parked my truck near a dry creek bed, which in this...

Herbst has compiled a record of 22-5 this season, three of those wins coming in last Friday’s individual conference tournament in which he claimed his first-career conference title at 145...
I’m so blessed to have two lovely granddaughters. Yesterday, my granddaughter Tia came out to organize some of my cupboards. The first one was my messy cupboard with my plastic containers. Every time I reached to take one out, four more fell out. It was a mess. Now it looks so neat and organized....
All this cold, flurries, and “polar vortex” talk has successfully kept me huddled inside like a hibernating bear; snuggled up in sweatshirts and drinking a variety of teas, cocoas, and coffees, thanks to my trusty Keurig.
