Joan Ruskamp clearly recalls the conversation. She was in New York City for a food editor tour. A woman there mentioned that her daughter had attended a birthday party the previous weekend. “I got to touch real grass,” the girl said. “That stuck with me,” said Ruskamp, who’s from Dodge. “I sometimes fail to realize how disconnected people are from nature.”And from farming. For some time now, Ruskamp has been working to connect farmers and consumers.

Jeff Forward’s Favorite stories of 2022I joined the staff of the Fremont Tribune in mid-November, so my favorite story options are somewhat limited. However, the fine staff at the paper — notably iconic Tammy Real-McKeighan — kept me busy with some great ideas for articles and coverage. Here’s a quick look at my top stories of the 2022 year.
Lessons from Lad: God shows his love through a dog

Oct 13, 2023 | fremonttribune.com | Tammy Real- McKeighan

Christine Nicole Ferris was about 12 years old when she saw the antique book at a flea market. It was called, “Lad: A Dog,” by Albert Payson Terhune. “I started to read it and it captured me,” she remembered. After reading it from cover to cover, she made a decision: “I’m going to have a collie someday and I’m going to name him, Lad.”Christine’s statement became reality in May 2020. By then, she already had a K-9 leadership training business, called Trustee Training Services.

In that time, I’ve learned a lot about grief and how God can sustain us even when it seems like our world has shattered. Here are just a few things I believe God has taught me. • God really does love us. When Chuck was in the hospital and everything seemed at its worst, I had to ask myself:“Did I really believe God had my best interest at heart?

‘Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27. I’d never heard of a Jesus lizard. But that was before I interviewed former Fremonter McKenzie Martinez, a reptile keeper at Henry Doorly Zoo. McKenzie also has her own business, Snakes on a Plain.
The hope that brings us comfort

Sep 22, 2023 | fremonttribune.com | Tammy Real- McKeighan

We had so much hope. Five years ago, my son, Mike, and daughter-in-law, Rachel, were expecting twins. It was an answer to prayer. They have a wonderful son, Matthew, but also had two miscarriages. Then they learned about the twins. We were all excited. We learned these twins were high risk and Rachel was very careful. I don’t often get off work, but one Thursday I picked up Matt from school, because Rachel was going in for an ultrasound of the twins, now in their second trimester.

Staff Sergeant Reckless had a voracious appetite. She gulped down scrambled eggs and beer, Coca Cola, bacon, peanut butter sandwiches, chocolate bars and even $30 worth of poker chips. Hardly proper behavior for an officer. But more than her eating habits, this officer was known for her incredible battlefield bravery. She carried supplies and ammunition in numerous combat actions during the Korean War. She evacuated the wounded.

WAHOO, Neb. — With its wood-paneled walls, pictures of sunflowers and small-town atmosphere, the Branding Iron Café could be the set for a Hallmark movie. Customers sit on wooden benches at the counter, drinking coffee from white ceramic cups, while cowboys herd cattle in Western movies on a flat screen TV. Menus list classic, home-style fare like hamburgers, hot beef sandwiches and bacon and eggs. A display case holds cellophane-wrapped cinnamon rolls and chocolate cake.
