It isn’t easy to select a favorite author or a favorite book, but I do have a favorite. I have written about Harper Lee before. “To Kill a Mockingbird” is often spoken of as a book for young readers. Yes, teachers often include it for their junior high students, but more accurately it is a book for all readers, in my opinion.
I sometimes wonder if I am using editorial space properly by not espousing more on the worldly topics of the day, or hour, like how much chaos is going on at the southern border of the United States and what should be done about it. Or what if I felt comfortable putting myself out there and giving my two cents on how hard it is to get official comments on local crime or how wind-farm money is spent in Pratt County. Was the Super Bowl LVI worth the time and money spent?
Kirwin National Wildlife Refuge and Reservoir in Phillips County provide an oasis for both humans and wildlife in a sparsely populated region of the state.

When your business or organization needs to conduct a staff retreat, where do you go? Sometimes groups leave their town to go to a bigger city with lots of venue choices. Today we’ll meet an Extension district whose staff chose to go in the opposite direction.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Gas Service customers will pay an estimated $5 to $7 a month for five to 10 years to pay for a spike in natural gas costs during frigid weather last year.
For this week’s article, I want to borrow a thought from Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the great 19th century expositor of England. He has often been referred to as the “Prince of Preachers, and was probably one of the greatest orators who ever lived. He once spoke about a man’s neglect of his soul and his future accountability to God. The following is the essence of his comments.
I have continued this week with the issue of forgiveness in society, leaning on the wisdome of Laura Haviland who said, “Take a stand for forgiveness, sacrifice, and love even if you must break the law to do so.”

The reason why social media platforms use algorithms as well as streaming channels, is to combine human knowledge and machine learning to create a decision making process that will guide the viewer to their preferences through the large amount of content that is available on each platform.
