The Guest Editorial argues farmers are not independent bosses but workers in a vast chain dominated by processors and retailers. Since 1996, farm incomes fell 10.7 percent while retail prices rose 7.6 percent, leaving farmers with about 21 percent of what shoppers pay.
A note explains that guest editorials provide diverse viewpoints and that the opinions expressed are not necessarily those of The Herald or its editor.
The Old Depot Museum owes its life to hundreds of volunteers and donors led by Debra Barker. ISTEA grants covered 80 percent of structural work, with about 200000 dollars raised by locals and outside supporters. The facility now opens year round Tuesday to Saturday and Sunday hours, hosting thousands at pre and grand openings.
The letter quotes gun lobby claims that up to 40 000 gun laws exist and that only 2 percent of criminal guns come from gun shows. Local officials estimate typical municipalities have one to a few gun rules, while larger cities and counties add more, suggesting far fewer than 40 000 laws. Public sentiment shows broad support for stricter controls, yet legislators rarely hear from most of the 80 percent.
Leonard Pitts of the Miami Herald offers a humorous open letter to young people about aging, misunderstanding between generations, and the minor frictions of daily life. He jokes about music taste, room clutter, and turntable use, urging fake familiarity with old tech and patience with aging parents. He closes with contact details for readers to reach him.
Diana Shepard of Iola argues against Lynn’s call to end Indian sovereignty and abolish the BIA. She cites health care, legal aid, jobs, education, and cultural continuity as essential, notes high diabetes and unemployment on reservations, and recalls Navajo code talkers and voting rights gains.
A warning notes recent mailings from a cancer group in Franklin County and questions their compliance with NCIB standards. It suggests directing donation requests to the American Cancer Society and urges scrutiny for a logo, stressing prudent giving.
