Looking Back, Way Back
By Gary Wamsley Berthoud Recorder Nostalgia is defined as a mixed feeling of happiness, sadness and longing when recalling the past. Thanks to John Hawley over at High Country Proco, I had some nostalgia this week. John sent me a Power Point file called “Close Your Eyes” which asked you to go back, way back as it described times before cell phones, the internet and even before television.

SPRING PREVIEW: BHS Track and Field
It’s All in the Numbers If nothing else, Colby Schultz has to like what he sees every time the Berthoud track and field coach shows up at practice. It doesn’t have to be what his athletes are doing.

Earth & Sky: Whimsy in the Sky: Moon and Venus
By Deborah Byrd Here’s the most delicate and winsome scene you’ll see in the sky all this month – maybe all this year.
