by Steve Sturtevant The Carrisbrook settlement was a small village that once existed two miles west of Stamford, Nebraska. A post office was established in 1873 with James Lumley as the first post master. He also ran a merchandise store to help the new settlers coming into the area. In 1887, the post office was discontinued and moved to the newly established town of Stamford. West of Carrisbrook a couple of miles was District #10 school. It was also called the Carrisbrook School. In the picture supplied is of A.V. Larson who was the teacher in 1910. At that time there were 38 students. Also there is a picture of some boys that attended the school. They look kind of ornery to me!! I had the privilege of attending a country school for a couple of years. We had to bring a sack lunch and use the out house when we needed to use the restroom. The pictures were supplied by Minie Mintzmeyer.

For most people, taking a daily 81 mg aspirin to prevent stroke and heart attack is more risky than beneficial. Aspirin has been in use as a pharmaceutical for over 150 years making it one of our oldest. One might assume with all this experience we would know exactly how to use it, but today’s recommendations are based on better evidence gained from better science. Originally used to treat pain, aspirin evolved to become a cornerstone for cardiovascular protection after compelling research in the 1970s. By the 1980s, it was recommended that almost anyone over the age of 50 take an 81 mg aspirin daily because it makes your blood clotting cells “slippery” thus helping prevent clots from forming in the arteries of your brain and heart.

Nebraska has many traditions, but one of my personal favorites is our State Fair. For over a century and a half, the State Fair has served as an important annual forum to celebrate our state’s agricultural sector, as well as showcase the food, people, and culture that make Nebraska special. In fact, the tradition stretches all the way back to when Nebraska was just a U.S. territory.

Nebraska is a land of pioneers. Our state was settled by hardy homesteaders who ventured across windswept prairies in search of opportunity.

I know you’ve been busy through Hailer, Nebraska, but have you ever stopped there? We hadn’t either until last Sunday when we made a trip to their John Denver Tribute in the park. What a perfect day. The park in Haigler is just two blocks off the highway and is surrounded in trees. We sat up our chairs, and enjoyed listening to the opening singer with Next Tuesday.
