Watching beloved Huskers from the comforts of home

 It’s no secret the Betterhalf is possibly one of the top female Husker football fans. A week ago her Husker loyalty took a challenge after the Cornhusker’s loss to Illinois. She was asked if her Husker loyalty was fading. That was a silly question!

Aurora band missing from State Fair

Dear Editor: I am very impressed that there are 55 high school bands from all corners of the state participating in this year’s Nebraska State Fair. However, as a former Aurora High School band member, I find it more than strange that the Huskies are not participating.

Bound for the State Fair

Growing up I never participated in fair activities beyond eating fried food and hopping from ride to ride. The concept of showing animals was beyond me because I lived in town so I just assumed that you couldn’t. As I got older I never joined FFA or 4-H for the same not solid logic.

Simple rewards very satisfying for simle guy

If you can stick around long enough, you never fail to have a new experience happen nearly every day. As we get older the new experiences may not be too exciting, but they do challenge your complacency by either becoming an irritant or leaving you with a good feeling.

Headlines abroad remind us this is the good life

After scanning newspaper headlines and newscasts concerning Haiti and Afghanistan, we’re thankful we live in the good old USA.

ANR evolves with times to offer digital marketing platform

Misquoted on the unchanging word of God

Dear Editor: First, I would like to thank the Aurora News-Register for publishing last week’s article concerning our name change to “Westside Covenant Church.” Our congregation is diligently working to reach out to an ever-changing world.

By the numbers

This will be Scott Frost’s fourth season in Lincoln, but he’ll try to even up his opening day record to 2-2 after losing at Ohio State a year ago by the score of 52-17. He’ll do so at Illinois on Aug. 28 with a fourth year starter at quarterback and numerous five-year super seniors on defense.
