The Sugarbeeter volleyball team suffered just one loss enroute to first place in its own tournament Saturday in Chinook. Chinook opened the tournament on Court 1 with a win over Glasgow.

The Lady 'Cats hosted the Wolf Point Wolves Thursday evening, before heading to Poplar for a showdown Friday and a match up with Fairview there on Saturday.

Now in its second season, the Drool in the Pool event held this Labor Day weekend seems to be well on its way to becoming an end of the year tradition at the Chinook City Pool. Organizers said 19 dogs were registered for the event with some even willing to swim in the pool, though not all. P.A.W.S was there showcasing a couple of cute adoptable pups. The doggie theme was complemented by pronto pups cooked and served onsite by the Chinook Lions Club. It may be a truism that "you cannot lead all...

Businesses, non-profits, civic clubs, professional groups and even local chambers of commerce rely on slogans to quickly convince a target audience to buy a product, a service or to believe in something. Readers will likely recognize the value of a successful slogan by thinking of advertising slogans that stick in their minds-like Kentucky Fried Chicken's "finger lickin' good," "America runs on Dunkin (donuts and coffee)" and one of the most enduring slogans still recognized by 90% of Americans...
Fairgoers may recall a young woman sitting at a long table in the Commercial Building.
