People often talk about having a “gut feeling” or are told to “listen to their gut” when making a decision. Do you know what your gut is trying to tell you? There are multiple things that your digestive system can do to get your attention. Do you know what your body is trying to tell you? Here are some of the things your gut could be trying to say.

The 2025 Frontier County 4-H Achievement Celebration was held Sunday, November 2nd in Farnam with over 80 people in attendance. The Farnam Clovers 4-H Club hosted the event this year. Club members helped with various duties: Avery Widick and Emmanuel Oberg were the flag bearer, the Pledge of Allegiance was led by Lexi Brown and the 4-H Pledge was led by Arika Oliver. Welcomes were given by Amie Sughroue, Vice President of the Frontier County 4-H Council and Emily Lenz President of our Frontier County Extension Board. Tallee Brown gave the Invocation. We then enjoyed a dessert bar provided by parents and an ice cream sundae bar donated by the Frontier County 4-H Council and served to us by members of the Farnam Clovers 4-H Club.

LITCHFIELD - The Maywood- Hayes Center volleyball team saw its season come to a close Saturday with a straightsets defeat at Ansley-Litchfield in the district finals. The Wolves battled back from an early deficit to lead briefly in the opener, but things took a turn for the worse from there.

CAMBRIDGE - With nearly all of their goals and their season on the line Saturday, the Cambridge volleyball team put its best foot forward. The Trojans claimed a fifth-straight district championship - and State Tournament berth - with a 25-13, 25-16, 25-8 sweep of Falls City Sacred Heart Saturday.

BARTLEY - On Halloween night, the Southwest football team had no tricks for visiting Lewiston in the first round of the Class D2 playoffs. There certainly weren’t any treats, but the Roughriders sure looked scary.

BARTLEY - In practice, Southwest Coach Kim Barnett said the Roughriders play a lot of mini-games to 5 points. Saturday’s district final with Elgin/Pope John largely boiled down to more of those, all won by the Roughriders.

For the Carpenter household, State Tournament week is a special time, especially since Lauren, the Cambridge volleyball coach since 2020, has guided the Trojans to five-consecutive State Tournaments. This week, though, there’s been extra excitement - and maybe some extra tension.
