Our newsroom received an excellent addition to this week’s print with some local students’ literary work. Reagan Morlan’s students in Pritchett created their own interpretations of Homer’s Odyssey during their unit on the piece. We at the Plainsman love to see this kind of community content, especially from the kids. If you have a story […]

As we come upon the Thanksgiving holiday, and as with everything in the society we are livin’ in, I can hear the distant rumble of controversy.
