Is There Any Hope for Us?
When the Star-Herald removed the beloved cartoon "Family Circus" from the daily paper and inserted cartoons that are not cute or "family" friendly, we were very upset. But we have refrained from commenting concerning the loss of the adorable "Family Circus" characters.
“God bless America, land that I love – stand beside her, and guide her – through the night with a light from above.”
Did anyone else have questions about the article on our “Megadrought” printed a few weeks ago in the Star Herald?
Here in Nebraska and across the country, a law passed last year will reduce the cost of prescription drugs and provide new benefits for millions of seniors.
I'd just like to take a moment to applaud the City of Scottsbluff, in particular the Street Department for the amazing job that they have done clearing the snow from our streets from the last two snowstorms. These people have worked tirelessly and have moved a tremendous amount of snow.

The drumbeat chant from the save the planet loonies continues to swell … “Save the planet. Save the planet. Drive electric cars because gasoline and diesel vehicles dump carbon and CO2 pollutants into the atmosphere. Switch to electric now and help us save the planet.”
I am writing in response to Sen. John Stinner's farewell column in Sunday's Star-Herald — and to thank Sen. Stinner for his outstanding service over the last eight years, to our district and to the State of Nebraska. Many of his accomplishments have been quiet, fixing problems without self-p…

Our elections are over, we have spoken as voters. Here are a few personal concerns.
I am a member of the Legion and Auxiliary and a Past Department Commander for the state of Nebraska. I am angry that 20 Nebraska Legionnaires wore their Legion caps to the pardon board hearing for John Arias, who was on the Sex Offender Registry for Life.
I'm voting no on the increase in sales and use tax to pay for an aquatic center.
Voters now have the opportunity to elect a representative who will stand for the education of children, not the indoctrination of children.
In just a few days’ time, the Voters in the City of Scottsbluff will be given the opportunity to make history. If the LB357 sales tax initiative passes, it will be the first time in known history that the City of Scottsbluff, the Scottsbluff Public Schools, the Scottsbluff Family YMCA and th…
As we enter the final days of this election, I wanted to address a race that is important to me and one that will have a lasting impact on our state. The last few weeks, we’ve seen the Governor and his dark money groups take to attacking State Senator Matt Williams in the race for Nebraska B…
We would like to reiterate the recent letters requesting a "Yes" vote for the proposed aquatics center.
I cannot support McKerrigan for City Council.
Don Lease should be our next Representative for the 48th District in the State Unicameral. I can say this without reservation because I have known Don, as well as his whole family, for most of my life.

As a Gering citizen, I am unable to “Vote Yes” for the proposed aquatics center in Scottsbluff. However, every county citizen should encourage their friends and family in Scottsbluff to “Vote Yes.” Every county resident pays a substantial amount of sales tax in Scottsbluff. A new aquatics ce…
Aquatics center would boost youth sports tourism
The entire community would benefit from having a yes vote for the aquatics center. Why do we feel this is a true statement? The aquatics center will be so much more than just a pool. It will include features for everyone, including competition, recreation, exercise, training and therapy
The opinion article by Robert B. Reich (Why is trickle-down economics still with us?, Oct. 13, Star-Herald) has it all backwards. Background on Mr. Reich includes serving in the Carter administration, serving as Secretary of Labor under Clinton and as a member on Obama's economic transition …
Bruce Armstrong is right about the waste of money being pushed to build a new "Aquatics Center.” There are already several good alternatives that won’t cost $20 million (the engineer's estimate). By the time the contract is let and the pool built (with changes that surely will occur during c…
We’ve entered precarious times. Perhaps nuclear holocaust is more impending now than during the 1962 the Cuban Missile Crisis. Putin’s nuclear threats attempt to keep Ukrainian allies at bay. Will Putin force nuclear devastation on Ukraine ?
I appreciate all of the candidates who have stepped forward this year to run for public office, especially those interested in serving in the Nebraska State Legislature. I have often been asked who I support in the race for Legislative District 48.
