Many people in the county are amped up for the Owls game this Friday. Forest City will host international powerhouse, Japan in a exhibition contest.
While Forest City boast a reputation of winning the past two Pettit Cup’s, a challenge from Team Japan is a once in a lifetime opportunity. The task of playing such a club and the style of ball that Japan can display makes this whole situation a huge deal as well.

Opinion
Is it hot where you live?
It was one of the first hot summer days of the year. I was working outside on our farm. I don’t know about you, but it takes me a few times of working outside in the heat for my body to adjust. Since this was one of the first hot days, my body had not adjusted yet. So I was feeling pretty hot, sweaty, and tired out there working away.

I’m convinced that most hunters and fishermen never contemplate the outdoor world they take pleasure in. I know in my own life, that without a concerted effort, I only enjoy creation without ever giving it much deep thought. I’ve especially noticed this truth when I speak to hunters and fishermen. It seems their eyes light up when they come to a realization that nature speaks very loudly about some things that really matter. And that sometimes we really do not see the forest, for the trees. We would be very shallow people if we only saw nature as another avenue for our personal pleasure. The immensity of creation demands we question it. It demands we understand how our sport only touches the hem of its real value. Let’s face it; we only play on the fringes of all that is out there. It is enormous. And the more we look, the more we discover.
