Swimmers have returned to their fall schedules and all that might visit the swimming area might be a...
There may not be much left of the former Nuckolls County community of Angus but friends of the community refuse to let its memory fade away. Among the first to go was the Angus automobile factory. A disagreement among the company's stockholders caused the building to be dismantled, hauled to Nelson and reassembled across the street from what is now the office of the Nuckolls County Locomotive-Gazette. However, it is unlikely any automobiles were assembled in Nelson. After the automobile company...

It has taken three games this year, but the L-N Raiders finally got to entertain an opposing school in this 2024 season.

The calendar says it’s time for the summer season to change and we are to “fall” into the next season. It’s a beautiful and colorful season but it also is a busy one. The mum flowers are popping out their brilliant colorful blooms and the trees are beginning to show signs of changing the colors of their leaves. Farmers are as busy as the squirrels trying to prepare for the coming winter months. The combines are busy picking corn and soon it will be time for the harvesting of soybeans and milo. The last cuttings of alfalfa and feed are...
Q: Why did Jesus say on the cross; “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Part Two of Two) A: Last week we discussed the fact that Jesus’ words match the opening words of Psalm 22. This Psalm is a lament for those who feel abandoned and forsaken; reassuring them of God’s rescuing power. But the connection between Jesus and Psalm 22 goes much deeper than just common experience. In fact, the full truth about this Psalm defies our wildest expectations! When we compare Psalm 22 with the life of its author (David, according to the...
How about those Nebraska Cornhuskers. I haven’t checked the records, but when was the last time we were 3-0 to start a year? And when was the last time I got excited about winning three games in a row? I noticed this week’s game will mark the 400th game in a row the Huskers will have a ‘sold-out’ game. I remember a few years back attending the game that was the 300th sell-out. I also remember when the ‘sold-out’ string started. Back in 1962, when Bob Davaney, Dave Mazour, I think Tom Osborne and myself all started our University...
When I was in a high school “Civics” course, we started out learning about democracy. We learned about the different political parties and their evolutions so we were familiar with their different approaches to problems. We also learned that as time passes the parties’ ideals change and sometimes they are nothing like when they started out. We learned about the proper procedures for debates and about using parliamentary procedures to hold meeting and debates. As it was also a presidential election year, we were able to use some of our...
Newspapers contain a variety of features which appeal to people of differing reading tastes. Some folks turn first to the comics, others the sports, crossword puzzles or cooking columns. Before I learned to read, my favorite newspaper page was the Omaha World-Herald’s picture page. After learning to read, the From the Files column in The Superior Express was a must read and I read similar columns in other newspapers whenever the opportunity presented itself. As a high school journalism student, I liked to browse the bound volumes of school...
Throughout the year, Robyn Menke elementary cook, and Janie Corman, middle-high school cook, provide locally raised beef two days a week for the students. The Lawrence-Nelson Beef @ School committee alternates between the elementary and middle-high school every month to educate about beef and grill hamburgers for the students. Another activity the beef donations provide is for the senior class to have a special steak meal on their last day of school. The only request is for the senior class to carry forward the producers’ passion for the...
