LETTER TO THE EDITOR, Mike Brack, International Pancake Day Chair, 2025

We are delighted to welcome you to the 76th Annual International Pancake Day, a joyous tradition that unites Liberal, Kansas, USA, and our sister City Olney, England, in friendly competition in these one-of-a-kind festivities.

Since the first U.S. race in 1950, this unique event has brought our communities together, honoring the age-old tradition of Shrove Tuesday with a spirited pancake race.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR, Reita Isaacs, Liberal

Never have I ever had such difficulty even starting a letter.

After finally sorting through all my many notes and sorting out the ones O’Biden created, knowing it wasn’t necessary to address them because our designated president and his brilliant cabinet members are going to get things straightened out. Of course, you know this is going to require change for everyone.

Drones was to be the subject, but I just watched a video filmed yesterday from Columbia River George, located across both Oregon and Washington states.

While many political pundits claimed that Kamala Harris won the debate between her and Donald Trump, I said there was one line that would be remembered like a boxer’s punch that opens up a cut in a fight. That cut continued to bleed throughout the rest of the campaign, and Trump went on to win in an Electoral college landslide while also winning the popular vote.

That same shot that delivered Trump the presidency will be used in upcoming midterms against those who are taking shots at Elon Musk and his job of leading the Department of Government Efficiency.

MY PERSPECTIVE, Gary Damron

After months studying events leading to the beginning of Jesus' public ministry, last week we reviewed His appearance in the synagogue in Nazareth. After reading Isaiah 61:1-2, a Messianic passage, He sat down and told them that the words were being fulfilled that day. Luke deliberately started his book with this proclamation, because for him it was the beginning of the Good News, the Gospel.
