Sunshine Returns for the Weekend

Today will be mostly sunny and seasonably cool, temperatures topping out in the upper 30s. North winds at 5 to 10 mph won't make for too much of a wind chill factor. Abundant sunshine and near quiet winds tomorrow will make for nearly picture perfect November weather. Low 40s in the afternoon will be right around average. Temperatures will continue to warm into the mid-upper 40s Sunday with partly cloudy skies. 50s confidently return next week as a cloudier stretch settles in later. ]]>

Rural Growth Is Real; But It Looks Different

By Stacy Davis, Sumner County Economic Development When we talk about growth in rural America, I think we sometimes make the mistake of believing there are only two possibilities: a community is booming, or it is dying. I don’t believe either one tells the whole story. The current rural climate is complicated. There are communities gaining people and communities losing them. There are businesses expanding while others struggle to find workers. There are new families choosing small towns while longtime residents are getting older. There are communities landing multimillion-dollar projects while still trying to figure out how to build enough housing, provide childcare or keep a grocery store open. That is rural America in 2026. The first thing we need to do is be honest about where we are. According to the USDA Economic Research Service, the population of nonmetropolitan America reached approximately 46.2 million people in 2024.

Supporting the People Who Serve Our Community

By Jo Rice Roitman Serving on a local board or in an elected position is not always an easy job. It often requires a considerable investment of time, takes people away from their families and offers little, if any, financial compensation. Yet these volunteer efforts play an important role in keeping small communities moving forward. Over the past decade, Wellington has seen residents step forward to serve on the School Board, City Council and other local organizations. In earlier election cycles, local races often included multiple candidates, along with campaign events and candidate forums that gave voters an opportunity to hear from those seeking public office. More recently, finding people willing to serve has become a greater challenge. That comes at a time when small communities face no shortage of important decisions.
