Most people now days get to have Christmas off. They sleep in or get up early to open presents. Breakfast is made, everybody sits and eats together and stays in the warm house with their family. If some are lucky, they will get to spend a little time outside sledding. Most of the time when you are in town you don’t get the opportunity to do such activities. Ranchers get to wake up before the sun to go take care of the animals that provide them with what they own. Without the animals, ranchers wouldn’t have the open skies above them, and the...
While looking through old papers reading the different Christmas stories, I stumbled across one which I could agree with and relate to. Mrs. Lillian Weaver, of Davenport, Idaho wrote in December of 1965 her version of Christmas. I pulled just a few things she stated and gave my opinion. In her article she wrote, “Christmas is the thrill of an old fashioned sleigh ride on a white stretching road glistening with “snow” diamonds on a moonlight night.” When I was eight years old we had a team and a sleigh. Dad hooked up our gelding, Blaze, and too...

Last Thursday Governor Steve Bullock attended the Hays/ Lodge Pole High School assembly to visit with the students and encourage them you to do their best this academic year, and make Montana proud. It won't be long before these students are starting to plan what they will do after graduation. Some will go to college, some to job-training programs and some directly into the workforce. The governor stressed that no matter what their individual path will be, the choices they make today will lay...

Stedman on Thursday, Nov. 12 at 4 p.m. in the meeting room. We are meeting on Thursday this week because the library is closed on Wednesday for Veterans Day. During the afternoon of Nov. 19, representatives from Sweet Medical Center will be at the library to assist with sign-up for insurance through the Affordable Care Act Health Care Marketplace. If you ha...
If you have written history as long as I have, you would find it very interesting, like I do, that events change on whims from who knows where. Little tiny and seemingly events of no consequence cause major events to happen years later. This is a story of just how that happened in Montana maybe a dozen years ago. But the story would not have happened at all if World War 2 had not happened. Or if Grandpa Lucke’s favorite magazine wasn’t “Field and Stream” or if Bee Lucke hadn’t introduced his wife to sleeping bags in a desperate move to get mo...
