If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, which song would you choose? I hope this scenario doesn’t play out. Ever. Music is one of my top three learning styles, woven into the fabric of everyday instances. Let’s face it, it’s practically one of my love languages, forging a bond that strikes a right chord, creating harmony on all levels. When Plato wrote, “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything,” I wonder wh...
Dear Summerland Advocate-Messenger, Thank you for donating money for the Level I photography champion award.

Thank you for supporting youth through the 4-H program. Sincerely, Adelyn F...

They compete not only with the convenience of online shopping...
The election is thankfully over, but I still can't get over how much money pours into these campaigns. Back in the day, if a state legislative candidate spent more than $100,000 on a campaign to get elected to a $12,000-a-year post at the State Capitol, it was a big deal. Now that kind of spending is par for the course. Nearly every race for the 25 seats being contested in the Nebraska Legislature had a candidate who spent more than six figures. As of Oct. 21, candidates for the so-called "Hall...

This new reality demands that we consider not only physical safety for our children, but also the dangers they are facing online. The S...
