anniversary of soldier's death
Jerry Mills posted on his facebook today: (Sunday)
Four years ago today, my son, Sgt. Jerry Mills Jr. age 23, Arkansas City, assigned to the 1st battalion, 13th Armor Regiment, Fort Riley, Kansas, was killed when an improvised explosive device detonated near his Humvee during combat operations in Taji, Iraq. Also killed was Sgt. Donald Hasse of Wichita.

new hunting and fishing column
I have just posted the latest hunting and fishing column from Thomas Stalnaker. I will be putting more pictures on that page later on, so check back.
below is an exerpt from his column. I completely agree with it, what do you think?
Arkansas City is very much a Mecca for sportsmen, I am truly surprised there is not more promotion for sportsmen in the area, I guess it goes along with the local attitude towards the river recreation as well; it is quite depressing to see a city that cannot see the benefits in this type of promotion.

Happy Thanksgiving
Hope everyone has a nice holiday today.
There is a lot to be thankful for, even though there are things that are not exactly perfect.
What are you thankful for?
And, if you are thankful, who are you thankful to ?
Here are a few things I am thankful for.
A really nice wife :) (hope she reads this)
Good friends
Beautiful things in nature, all of creation. Like a sunrise / sunset. Leaves changing color. Landscapes. and many people.
Is it time to eat yet?

Wednesday updates
Good morning.
Cop notes are posted. Also, ive updated the site in general. The space station will be visible the next couple days over Arkansas City, so go to the site to see the details.
Also I have updated the sports page. I do have some pretty cool Big-12 stuff on there. There are player and coach quotes from press conferences. Often on the sports pages you see stories based on those press conferences, but here, you may see the entire thing.
The cartoon I posted yesterday got some debate going, but it seems like it is always the same debate. It also got people going on my facebook, but it was different people.
Thanksgiving Day is tomorrow. The city commission worksession has been shifted to Monday as a result.

Tuesday updates
Good morning.
I have updated the site with some new material. I am going to be changing how I do things just a little, but you may not notice a whole lot of difference.
Some of the pages - that are not being read - will be phased out. I am not going to be spending as much time on the site, but plan to keep it going.
Anyways, today on the site, former AC resident Tim Badley writes about Curry Field. He is now in Tiawan.
Also there is more on Cowley Volleyball, PrairieFest and a couple police stories.
I also posted a cartoon here a few minutes ago. I think its great, and says what I would say. Im sure there are those that would take issue with it :)
I still want to encourage people to send me material for the site.
I have more things to write about, might get to philosophizing ... or preaching. :) just kidding.

Sunday night
I arrived back home in Arkansas City Sunday afternoon.
I did not mean to abandon the web site as much as i did. I thought I could still keep up, but with the lack of a good connection that was pretty impossible.
I have one more small business trip Monday, then I hope to be back in the saddle on the web site on Tuesday.
I may not be able to spend as much time on the site as I have in the past, but I should still be able to keep it updated.
I updated some tonight, with Cowley VOlleyball and some columns and such.
The trip itself was a lot of fun. Got to spend time with my mom, who is 89 and very sharp for her age.
Also, got to spend time with some friends from college. They are missionaries in South Africa, and home for a break. They were in Australia a few years, but have been in South Africa for about 5 years.
The driving was not very eventful. I did not take much time for sight seeing at all. Mostly just interstate driving, except as noted earlier.
Also on the trip I fell down some steps and sprained my foot pretty bad. Kinda odd that it was the foot and not the ankle, but I doubt that makes it hurt less.
Driving was kinda hard so it took me parts of three days instead of two.
I did take the back roads from Muskogee today, and that was interesting.
The town of Owasso, Okla,, was cool, as was Winona. I may have to get back down that way again before long.
Thats the update for now.
