Nebraska cowgirl, sister run successful braiding business

A pair of sisters in Broken Bow are running their own business. Emma and Gracie Pearson, ages 16 and 13, are entrepreneurs and owners of Mighty Maverick Merchandise, a business that’s been in existence for more than a year.
The cowgirls started their business, which consists of braiding horse halters, headstalls, hobbles, reins, dog leashes, and other custom order items in January of last year.
It was a business built out of necessity.
Becky Pearson, the girls’ mother, told her girls she didn’t need to keep transferring money into their account, when their debit cards “didn’t work. I said, you need to figure out how to make this money stretch a little further, or make more money,” she said.
Mason updated on police department operations
MASON Police department business topped the agenda when the Mason Town Council held its most recent meeting.
Present were Mayor Donna Dennis, Recorder Harley Stewart, and council members Sarah Stover, Becky Pearson, Sharon Kearns and Steve Ohlinger. Absent was Councilman Marty Yeager.
Police Chief Colton McKinney told members the new cruiser is outfitted with the exception of the exterior striping. He updated the council on the costs of the light installation and striping, along with the labor.
The chief said he recently interviewed and had physical agility testing for four candidates who applied for the part-time officer position. Upon his recommendation, the council approved the hiring of River Griffith at an uncertified officer wage of $10 per hour, with the understanding that the position might change to full-time.

David Hoose believes that, on its face, choral music can be difficult to love.
Itâs an unexpected sentiment from the conductor of Cantata Singers, one of the cityâs most treasured ensembles, but Hoose has his reasons: The sound of a chorus doesnât have as much coloristic glamour or layered complexity as the sound of an orchestra; at a choral concert, there is nothing to watch â no bows dancing in unison or percussion vividly struck; there are none of the dramatic plots or the costumes found in opera; and in many choral works, you canât even understand the words well enough to appreciate the subtlety of their relationship to the music.
