County lawmakers weigh HB4 on civil rights claims and costs
Quay County commissioners debated a proposed civil rights bill and its $2 million liability risk, noting it would shift lawsuits to district courts and could affect school districts and emergency services. They urged focusing on mental health and the state law enforcement academy instead. The meeting also approved a $350000 roof contract for the exhibit center, an Assistance to Firefighters grant of $98334 for Fire District 2, and discussed a possible Route 66 bridge project with state funds. A drought emergency was declared and a moment of silence held for Det. Darian Jarrett.

Black Eye From Bad Hop Haunts Young Player
In fifth grade I played second base on a Little League team. A rough ground ball bounced unpredictably and hit me in the eye, leaving a black eye for weeks. I finished the season and still fear bad hops in any ball game, though I continue to play softball when possible.
