March 27, 2013 In the last year or so, there has been a lot of attention given to our farmers. The Dodge commercial during the Super Bowl is one that immediately comes to mind.

March 27, 2013 I have always considered myself a good Air Force Brat as my dad served in the Air Force for over 20 years. While I only was at three bases, Castle Air Force Base in California; Ramstein Air Force Base, Germany; and Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, I got to see a lot of great planes. I love the B-2 Stealth Bomber, A-10 Thunderbolt; T-38 that are stationed at Whiteman. I have enjoyed going to air shows to see everything from the old biplanes to the Mustangs to the F-4 Phantom to the F-16s. However, I was a watching a movie Turbulent Skies and got to thinking that I never have seen an SR-71 fly in person.

March 21, 2013 Spring may have started on Mar. 20, but it looks like winter still wants to shine. The National Weather Service has been predicting snow for the next couple of days. Some areas were expected to get up to five inches, others around one or two.
March 20, 2013 One of my favorite holidays of the year is Easter. It brings back a lot of great memories. Being an Air Force Brat, I can recall doing a few Easter Egg hunts with the youth center or a few squadron parties or even at the base church. I also have the great memories of waking up on Easter Morning and seeing the eggs hidden around the house or in the backyard if the weather was good.
March 16, 2013 The Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2591 Lady Auxiliary hosted the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Downtown Sedalia on Saturday, Mar. 16. This year's theme was " Lucky 13 - Go For the Gold."

Last year's Head Coach Ben Lyles is now the General Manager, last year's defensive coordinator Jason Pallo has become the Head Coach, and there are some new assistant coaches, Caleb and Skip Crooker. Even the cheerleaders had a change as Kim Lockard stepped up from being choreographer last year to being the Bootlegger Coach.
