Recently, President Joe Biden delivered one of the most divisive addresses to the nation I’ve seen in my lifetime. Our country is headed in the wrong direction, and those who oppose the Biden administration’s radical policies do so because of our desire to leave a better, more prosperous America for future generations.
The Nebraska Hall of Fame Commission today selected Malcolm Little, also known as Malcolm X and El Hajj Malik El Shabazz, as the next member of the Nebraska Hall of Fame. Ron Hull, chair of the Nebraska Hall of Fame Committee said that Malcolm X’s impact is still felt today.
Well, I have had a while to be by myself – like 5 days in complete isolation and 10 days of wearing a mask if I did go out of my apartment. Covid – like Elvis, has left the building. At least I hope it has. I imagine Covid symptoms vary from person to person as in most viruses and diseases.
As communities across Nebraska’s Third District are turning their attention to back-to-school matters, preparation for harvest, and of course, Cornhusker football, this season I have had the opportunity to appreciate many of the things that make the people and culture of our state special.

In Nebraska, the sun shines brightly on the glorious days of fall. The fall season is filled with multiple important “seasons,” especially to the State of Nebraska: harvest and Husker football, though perhaps not as much after the loss to Northwestern in Dublin. Farmers across Nebraska are ending a dry growing season and are in a race against the clock to harvest before winter. Saturday mornings this time of year are filled with energy as Nebraskans roll in combines and trucks through fields with Husker football on the radio.
Nebraska is a land of pioneers. Our state was settled by hardy homesteaders who ventured across windswept prairies in search of opportunity. While we often celebrate the grit and determination of these early Nebraskans, they deserve equal credit for their ingenuity. Their inventiveness helped transform the Great Plains into some of the most productive agricultural land in the world.
Various chores are synonymous with certain times of year. For example, cleaning a pool is a summertime task. In addition, rare is the instance that Mother Nature forces anyone to break out the snow shovels outside of winter. Raking leaves has long been a task for fall afternoons, but homeowners may be surprised to learn that they might be better off putting their rakes in permanent mothballs.
Editor’s note: This column was printed with observations about memories of Farm Aid 3, twenty-five years later. It has now been 35 years. The 2022 Farm Aid is set for Saturday, Sept. 24, in Raleigh, North Carolina. To see more information about Farm Aid, visit the website at www.farmaid. org/about-us/ Today’s Sunday Journal-Star newspaper featured an article that surprised me. It concerned a Saturday I spent in Memorial Stadium. It was about Farm Aid III, spearheaded by Willie Nelson It doesn’t seem possible that memorable day occurred 25 years ago. It was held at the height of the foreclosures on farm families during the farm crisis of the 1980’s.
Panama Wind Project makes sense for Otoe County I know there has been much discussion about the changes a wind project would bring to the community. I think it’s time to focus on the facts.
