“Vanity has a high price. A price paid by kingdoms, tribes and peoples. Now swords once pledged to justice, rust on the altars of the self-righteous.”
Lt. Randy Hanson of the Bowie Police Department is more well-known for his investigative activities, but with those words above he launches a writing career that begins with “Roland’s Path,” an epic fantasy story that publishes this week.
While his writing ability may be new to his co-workers and acquaintances, his close friends know the desire to write goes back to when he was a youngster writing stories for himself. The idea for a book took root when he was in junior high.
“I read a lot of Louis L’Amour, they were some of the first things I ever read and I loved them. I branched out to Stephen King and R.A. Salvatore. By junior high I thought I could write a story, how hard could it be? I wrote a few short stories, but I didn’t do anything with them,” explains Hanson.
Read the full feature on Randy Hanson’s new book in the mid-week Bowie News.

Once more we pose that question to Bowie third graders, who share their very colorful, helpful, unique and always hilarious recipes and procedures to create the best bird for the family dinner.
Enjoy their recipe suggestions as you sit down with family and friends this week for Thanksgiving. Hopefully it will bring a smile. Special thanks to Stephanie Crabtree, Karina Carter and Bailey Bolton for allowing their students to take part in this longtime Bowie News tradition. We tried to use as many as space allowed, thanks to all the kids.
Here are just a few:
Do you like turkey? I’m am going to teach you how to cook it. First,you go get your ingredients by going to buy a turkey from Walmart. Get your pan out and put the non-stick spray on the pan. Put the turkey on top of the pan.
Next, you put your turkey on the grill at 290 degrees for 30 minutes. While the turkey cooks, get your side food together. Next, set up your table. Then you put all of your food on the table. Sit down and enjoy your meal. Wasn’t that yummy?
