I was sitting on my little crate next to Georgi, the Brown Swiss, one morning last week while she was being milked. I’ll massage her udder, keep the hose out from under her feet that don’t always hold perfectly still, watch so an inflation doesn’t slip, etcetera, while sitting there. It’s dark out when we milk, and I’m always fresh from bed, quiet, calm, and cozy in my coat and gloves.
STATE AWARD WINNERS . . .When the Council Grove Republican began the “Through Your Eyes” segment, we honored former photographer Bob Collins with an image of him, captured by Harold Gaston. It only seems fitting that we republish the two award-winning sports photographs taken by sisters Brandy Villalobos and Amber Weeks. In the recent Kansas Press Association’s 2024 Awards of Excellence, the top photo that we called “Fighting the Vikings”, taken by Villalobos, took first place in the state in our division. In the photo Council Grove’s Drew Buchman is surrounded by Mission Valley’s Vikings. Weeks’ photo of “The young and old cheering on the Braves” shows little Knute Fox greeting and encouraging the Braves. The photo placed third in the state.
Nine students from Council Grove High School earned high honors at the 3D Printed Railway Bridge Competition hosted Saturday, April 12, at Kansas State University. Sponsored by the Carl R.
