When Braxton Hammond won the Nebraska Class D state wrestling championship in the 106 weight class last February, his sophomore season did not end. Instead, he was nominated by Southern Valley wrestling coach Dexter Becker to take part in the Maine/Nebraska Exchange. “My coach told me it would be a once in a lifetime experience and it really was true,” says Hammond of the trip.

The Village of Oxford heard from Taylor Lueking about the need to order new AED monitors for the ambulances during their meeting on Monday, August 1. Lueking told the board they can no longer get pads for the devices they have as all of the pads, batteries are being discontinued to the United States. He said one new monitor is $38,000. Clerk Becky Calderone said there is not enough money in the EMS account to buy one right now. The merger with the Rural Fire District should also be complete by October 1 . Board Chairman Clint McQuiston said they need to be a part of the solution as they will end up making the payments on any loan.

The Annual Tri-state Antique Engine and Thresher show was held last weekend in Bird City, Kansas. Our own Virginia Grafton was selected as the 2022 Thresher Queen.
