Thankful For Our First Responders

Many of us remember vividly when more than a dozen different crews from several agencies were dispatched to the Paradise fire.

📸 by Scottsbluff Rural Fire Protection District

On the heels of the massive Carter Canyon fire, this one on the west edge of Scottsbluff torched 170 acres and took several days to knock down.

Our local agencies conduct and/or attend several trainings each year to ensure their readiness to serve the community, many of them on a volunteer basis, sacrificing their own time and money to help.

Pickleball Courts Now Open

Why is pickleball sweeping the nation?

Medium blogger Randy Li writes…

One of the main reasons for pickleball’s soaring popularity is its accessibility. Unlike tennis, which typically requires a large outdoor court, pickleball can be played on a smaller scale. For example, you can fit three pickleball courts in the space of a single basketball court. I also heard of many outdoor parks repurpose 2 tennis courts for 6 pickleball courts. Also, pickleball can be played indoors at gyms, so the rain or extremely hot and cold weather won’t be in play! This adaptability allows more people to participate and enjoy the game.

But what really sets pickleball apart is its ease of play. While tennis can be daunting for beginners, with its complex rules and techniques, pickleball offers a much more inviting entry point. You don’t need years of experience or advanced skills to start enjoying pickleball. In fact, most people can jump right in and rally from the get-go. After learning the rules, I was able to play a competitive game from the start. The court is smaller, the rules are simple, and the learning curve is significantly reduced. I played tennis with some friends who never played, it was difficult to even get a single rally, let alone a game. I would even go so far as to say pickleball may be easier to play for beginner than ping-pong, since the ball, paddle, and especially the court are bigger, so its hard to miss. Pickleball is a game that is easy to pick up and fun right away. – Randy Li

Family Movie Night In The Park

Monsters Inc, an incredible story of a society of competitive, scary-looking monsters who derive energy for their corporation by scaring children in their beds at night. The substance generated by the terrorized children’s screams is captured and stored in oxygen-type tanks and taken back to the corporation. The monsters must do this night after night under fire from H.W. in order to keep their job at Monsters Incorporated. Fun movie!
