Yesterday, Tuesday was officially the first day of autumn, but lately it's been feeling more like summer. However, it is already very hard not to notice that the hours of daylight are gradually being shortened with later sunrises and earlier sunsets both becoming very noticeable. I didn't try to stand a fresh egg upright during an equinox day as you are supposed to be able to do. I think I would have gotten too hungry, just looking at that egg. But no big deal if it falls into pieces with a big cracking noise if your experiment does in fact...

From the Ipswich Tribune July 20, 1927 edition AN INTERESTING HEIRLOOM Bowdle Pioneer—George Meadows of Ipswich brought an old “grandfather’s clock” to Bowdle the other day to have O. Larsen, the jeweler, make some adjustments to its internal organs which, by reason of age, had become deranged, the clock having been in the Meadows family for something like 160 years. It was made in Ireland at Downpatrick, and is hand wrought and a beautiful specimen of work, both cabinet and works. It stands nearly six feet high and its mechanism is operate...

Ipswich swept its own Subway Invitational girls' high school volleyball tourney with four wins last Saturday to improve its record to 12-2. Another home match was to have been played here on September 22 hosting Potter County but that game has been postponed due to an outbreak of covid-19 in Potter County. But the game is now scheduled for Oct. 1 at home. And Tiger fans can still hopefully watch their team at home on Sept. 24 vs. Langford Area and then again on Sept. 28 hosting North Central. (A...
Ipswich sustained a 3-1 Lake Region Conference girls' high school volleyball defeat by Warner last Tuesday in the Tiger Den. Ipswich had lost its first set 25-16 and the Tigers' final scoring in that set would be a Hailey Bierman kill that left them down 23-16. But the Tiger girls bounced back for their lone set win, a 25-20 verdict, capped by a Warner hitting error. And the Tigers' 24th point for that 24-20 lead was delivered by a Paige Mehlberg kill. But Warner then claimed back-to-back 25-11 and 25-19 leads of its own to win set #3 and the...

Losing narrowly by a single point 25-24 last Friday at Warner, Ipswich/Edmunds Central had scored the first and last touchdowns of the game. But Warner already scored what would be its last TD and thought it should be two-possession insurance against a late-game Tiger rally. That’s because Warner’s first three TDs had all failed to produce any type of PAT success, leaving the Monarchs with 18 points entering the final quarter. But they did string together a successful TD drive quite late in the game to put 24 points on the scoreboard and the...
"It was a good day for the Tigers. The varsity boys ended up running 6k instead of 5k but that will be good for training purposes," says Coach Thorson after the Tiger results in a Battler Invitational cross country meet at Gettysburg last Saturday. How good was it? For starters, the Ipswich girls placed first in both the varsity and junior varsity team scores with six points each. And the varsity boys were third as a team with 21 team points. (The hosts won that with 19 points, followed by...
