A perfect spring day has a bright blue sky, just the right amount of heat, a light breeze and an almost unnoticeable humidity. It’s always a welcome sight after winter, but especially after Mother Nature treats everyone to two weeks of below-freezing temperatures. All of that is on top of months of pandemic-induced cabin fever.

Gerald Wayne Doerfler, age 81, Codell, passed away on Wednesday, March 10, 2021, at Rooks County Health Center.

The Sentinel is asking for early copy/ads for the March 25th edition. All ads and news must be received no later than Friday, March 19th, at 5:00 p.m.

Anything submitted after that time will not be printed due to our office being short-staffed during the Spring Break week and having to get the paper completed a few days earlier than normal.

We appreciate your help and understanding!

It's that time of year to "Spring Forward" an hour early on Sunday, March 14, at 2:00 a.m.

If on Monday morning you awaken for work and are feeling like you didn't get enough rest, then there's a good chance you forgot about the time change.
