  • Bison stampede through Dixon for fundraiser

    Ed Moreth|May 9, 2024

    A bison can run up to speeds of 35 mph, but the school Bisons that sped through Dixon on Saturday were a bit slower, including 12-year-old Sonny Matt, who nabbed first place in the 10K "Bison Stampede," finishing the race in one hour and 25.04 minutes. His brother, Joey, 11, crossed the finish line one-tenth of a second behind him, followed closely by Abram Boyd, 12, in third at 1:25.15. The three are part of the Dixon Bisons track team and the only participants in the 10K race. But the...

  • The Average Gamer

    Marshall Barker|May 9, 2024

    Oftentimes, I like to wonder how our world would be different today if history hadn’t played out the way it has. I find it to be a fun way to get lost in thought and see what sort of wacky and fun alternative timelines I can think up. There are some good movies, TV shows, and even video games that like to play around with these ideas too. What would our world look like if the microchip had never been invented, or what would happen if nuclear energy became the norm and not fossil fuels? What would happen to the world if total nuclear a...
