Submitted by David Palmer “Plane Crash Near Mina—One Killed” was the headline in the Aberdeen newspaper. If you were to have heard the headline you immediately thought of the Payne Stewart crash in late 1999 just south of Mina in Richland Township. Who could forget it? The event was covered worldwide, and Mina was famous for a few days. But the “one killed” part, that couldn’t be right because you remembered that there were several casualties that day.

We might hopefully get at least a few of the showers that they were predicting a little further south. At any rate Tuesday dawned a lot cooler than the past weekend into Monday. And that wind is still a force to be reckoned with! Any rain would help alleviate the grassland fire danger. That's for sure! How about this, believe it or not, Stanford is the NCAA D1 women's basketball champion and so are the Baylor Bears men (their first-ever championship). Where are all the traditional familiar power-house programs after all this? They'll most...
