Women's transcontinental race uses Beatrice as fueling stop. Beatrice Airport staff work to refuel one of the 40 planes participating in the 29th annual Air Race Classic, which came through Beatrice on Tuesday afternoon. The Air Race Classic is the only all-woman transcontinental air race in existence. This year's race, which covers 2,117 nautical miles, began Tuesday morning at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind. The route takes the pilots to LaCrosse, Wis., Beatrice, Neb., Bartlesville, Okla., Shreveport, La., Walnut Ridge, Ark., Tullahoma, Tenn., and Athens, Ohio, before returning to Purdue.

I would really like to thank Edna Barker for her breavery in the time of need. I think a lot of people need to thank her for her kind work. I am 30 years old and have so much resect for Mrs.Barker. In my mind she will always stand out because with out her help many people would not have gotten the treatment that they needed so bad. I would like to thank you so much for what you have done.

Hey, John: I notice you don't offer your own backyard. Maybe you don't like your "Granny"? These ex-Enron folks I'm sure don't have our health or safety in mind, but only the billions of dollars they expect to make off our land. The pipelines should be buried deeper than 3 feet but they don't incur the additional cost -- what does that tell you? HmmmmJoachim van Osnabrügge

"Seeger said Low German was often the language of the working people in northern Germany. Depending on where the speaker lived, the sound of the language could be anywhere from flat-sounding to what he called “sing-song.”

Dear Karen,I really liked watching you on Little House on the Prairie! You were really good as the school mom! I liked the episode where you taught the kids to be kind to each other. I hope you get this email, please email me back if you can.

5-8-08I am a 64 yr. old retired teacher and I still watch "Little House" to this day. I think I've seen them all and watch them over and over. Loved the Christmas ones.Thought Karen was fantastic and to this day still watch Melissa Gilbert's movies on Hallmark. Loved all the characters. They played their rolls perfectly. Have all "Little House" movies.
Such wonderful wholesome entertainment.
