Talk about a pain in my ^*&$. In this case, it’s sciatic nerve pain, beginning in the lower back, extending down the side of my right leg, ending slightly below the knee. What started as an occasional, but usually sharp pain, about two years ago morphed into feeling like I could not stand up, let alone walk, a few months ago. A visit to the chiropractor confirmed the psoas muscles were overly constricted and the sciatic nerve inflamed and angry. The culprit: a desk job. Rx: Yoga, targeted s...
Looking out my kitchen window I see there is a change in the August garden. It's rather gradual but it's there. The first noticeable visual is the green tones. Don't get me wrong, the flowers are still blooming brightly, with hydrangeas showing off their stately white blooms. The zinnias are sporting round pallets of color and alyssum is setting on new purple and white blooms. Petunias seem to have reached their peek bloom and vincas, oh I can't brag enough about the vincas that are bursting...
For students with allergies and asthma, back to school means more than getting their backpacks filled with paper, pencils and any needed odds and ends. Keeping your child safe and healthy involves creating a proactive plan to be implemented both at home and at school. Allergy doctors refer to these plans as control programs because the goal is prevention and control. Food allergies can cause anaphylaxis, the total body allergic reaction with shortness of breath, hives, low blood pressure,...
Across the country, thousands of farmers grow small grains such as wheat, oats, barley and rye. Some choose to do so for conservation benefits, while others aim to diversify their income streams, to take advantage of local markets or meet the requirements of organic certification. But, as with growing any crop, there are associated risks. While farmers who grow crops like corn and soybeans often purchase federal crop insurance to manage risk, far less insure their small grains. Studies also...
Lisa M. Dugal, 56, of Neligh, accompanied by her court-appointed attorney, Kyle Peterson, appeared in front of the Honorable Donna Taylor in the Antelope County courtroom in Neligh on Aug. 17, for sentencing on a probation violation. Antelope County attorney Joe Abler asked the judge to look at a probation update, to note the number of missed probation/testing appointments. He said she hadn’t showed up since July, or maybe June. He reminded Taylor that Dugal’s false report to Neligh police officers caused the man she resided with to spend tim...
Kylie Adolf knows what it takes to run a successful second-grade classroom. She needs jump ropes. Tissues. Colorful paper. Puzzles. A princess puzzle is always a good idea. But the Omaha second-grade teacher can't request those supplies from her school and expect to find them in her supply closet the next week. There are no funds in the budget for that. Instead, she spends her own money out of her teacher's paycheck. Instead, she posts to Facebook and asks friends and strangers for help. "My...
An season-opening battle against Riverside found the Bobcats coming up shy, as the Chargers charged downfield in the final minutes to earn a 27-26 win. It was a battle of defenses, at least for two and a half quarters. Summerland and Riverside traded possessions in the first period, which ended in a goose egg. And then, Trevor Thomson scampered 48 yards to give the Bobcats a 6-0 edge. The Chargers tied the game after a nine-yard run by Andrew Krick, with 11:02 left in the second quarter. It took...
Max Heiter, of Royal, took a project to the Antelope County Fair with low expectations. Later, he learned his open class exhibit received the first-place blue ribbon for the 65-and-over class. It all started when Heiter saw a fiber optic knife made by someone on the internet a little over a year ago. "I saw a fiber optic knife somebody made on the internet, so I get on the internet and looked for this fiber optic and I found it in Oklahoma," he said. "I thought 'I'm gonna try it; he did it,...
