Q: I always feel kind of depressed after Christmas, and I've never been able to figure out why. It usually takes weeks and weeks for me to begin feeling normal. Why is this? A: I’m not a psychologist, of course—but I’ve noticed that some people do tend to feel somewhat “down in the dumps” after they’ve been very busy. It’s not just physical exhaustion (although that may be part of it); often it’s emotional exhaustion as well. I often think of Elijah in the Old Testament. He was one of God’s greatest prophets and a man of deep faith, and he had...

Hello From the Chinook Senior Center So, here we are at the close of another year. A year of fellowship. A year of good health. A year of good camaraderie. We here, at the Chinook Senior Center have been richly blessed by all of the wonderful people who partner with us to make this Center a place of JOY! We have countless people who come in every day and help in a myriad of ways. We have people who deliver meals to those who truly cannot come in and dine with us. We have people who help serve. We have people who clear the tables. We have...

Hello From the Chinook Senior Center Wow! Another week is gone! Why does it seem that they pick up speed when we get into December? We had a nice gathering of people here on Friday, Dec., 13th for the 2nd annual Remembrance Tree lighting, with the wonderful talents of Sheri Miller on our keyboard. That woman can PLAY! We are richly blessed each and every time that she comes in. We also had Pastor Johnny Spence from the Alliance church, who gave a poignant message to those of us who have loved and lost someone who is at home with the Lord....
You know, Lord, another friend shared about a prayerful ‘blurb’ she’d recently read which reminded her of where she’d lived or visited. ‘Jenny’ mention that she was having morning devotions near a window that looked out over a peaceful pond; which is way South; out of our state. Anyway, she heard the birdies singing, saw the sky was dusted with soft shades of blue and white which made her aware of Jesus’s presence. But she’d lived in other places, where views were less serene with a littered alley in a crime-ridden neighborhood as a backdrop ...
Hello From the Chinook Senior Center Firstly, let me take a moment to THANK all of the people who donated an item, or who came to help with the auction, on Saturday! It is a tremendous amount of work and there are people around me who are always willing to help. I am so very grateful for those people. THANK YOU, also to all of the people who came to bid on the items that we collected over the past 4 months. Every single person matters in the outcome of our success! Pat yourselves on the back, knowing that you are an integral part of our Center...
Hello From the Chinook Senior Center By the time you read this article, we will have conducted our 2nd annual live auction, to benefit our Chinook Senior Center. We are under contract for our funding to have several fundraisers per year, for compliance. This is why you see our Center put forth the energy & effort to have several fundraisers throughout the year. We had a wonderful time looking around at all of the vendors that were out on Friday, and seeing the parade! There were some pretty sweet floats! While, personally, I hate to see...
Hello From the Chinook Senior Center We trust that you all had a season of THANKFULNESS with your families and friends. We are all blessed to live in a small community that embraces one another. We have a group of giving people who come together to make a COMMUNITY THANKSGIVING DINNER, for those who truly cannot come in, so they deliver to them. Of course, it is always nicer to have everyone gather as a family of community members at the Thanksgiving table, so next year, if you are able, please consider joining them all at the Commercial...
New research showcases the profound impact of long-term private land conservation on the surrounding public landscape. In the vast grasslands of the Northern Great Plains, ranchers have long been the silent stewards of some of America’s most fragile ecosystems. These are people who understand the land in a way few others do—people whose hands are calloused from years of hard work, and whose education often comes from the very soil they nurture. A Polaris UTV serves as steed as Leo Barthelmess ushers cattle to the next pasture on his south Phill...
Hello From the Chinook Senior Center Hopefully you did not miss Ken Martin’s presentation of his Farm Machinery in miniature, which was amazing.

IF YOU ARE ORDERING CARAMEL ROLLS, PLEASE CALL BY TUESDAY @ 1:00, SO THAT YOU CAN GET THEM ON WEDNESDAY, AS OUR CENTER WILL BE CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING. On Wed., Dec., 4th, we will be having our next painting class entitled “Bells Will be Ringing”. Please call ahead at 40...
I love the season of Thanksgiving. It’s wonderful to have a day set apart to remind ourselves to be thankful for the abundance we have in our lives. If we don’t overlook Thanksgiving in our charge toward Christmas, we would observe that this holiday is more than just a fly-over state. We see preludes of Thanksgiving when the harvest comes in, when the fall colors brighten the store fronts, and when pumpkin spice returns to the menus. It’s all a foretaste that prepares our hearts for gratitude, but again, only if we take the time to appre...

Let’s face it, we’ve all faced some dreadful days lately. Don’t even try to deny it. As I write this, voters have yet to go to the polls. Even today, I dread going to the mailbox only to find it stuffed with paper representations of money well wasted. I dread answering the phone when it nags in the evenings. I dread turning on the TV at home, turning on the radio in my car, even checking my e-mail that’s spattered with click-bait political ads. And I’m convinced that you dread these things too. By the time this little monologue goes to press,...
Hello From the Chinook Senior Center We have had a very full week, with the sad passing of Dale Hofeldt, whom everyone knew and loved. So sad to say goodbye to this friend. Keep the family in your prayers, as they have had way too much loss. We had a wonderful day, with many fine ladies in our community helping to make pies for our very successful Pie Social last Saturday. It was well attended and everyone had a great time. Marilyne Berger donated Ice Cream for this, however, I forgot to take it out. Some days get very busy. I will need to...
You know, Lord, had to ‘eavesdrop’ a bit when a small group gathered. One lad said, “Auntie, some lady gave my mom a silly calendar with weird things written by each day. Mom opened it, looked things over, then started to laugh and said, ‘Laddy, would you believe on your birthday, in March, it shows that your day, the 23rd, it’s ‘Chip and Dip Day’ and neighbor, Helen’s day, the 1st, is Peanut Butter Lover’s Day.’ And look at this, the 3rd – which is Uncle John’s birthday, it shows that one is supposed to wear red? Can we even imagine Uncle J...
Hello From the Chinook Senior Center October is flying by, with all of it’s beautiful colors. Soon, we will be seeing little goblins out looking for treats! Speaking of Halloween, we once again, are inviting all of the children within our little community to stop by the Center and TRICK or TREAT from 3:30-5:00, on Halloween! We would be thrilled to treat them. We will, once again, have a special menu for that day, and many of us will be in costume! If you have this paper in time, PLEASE KNOW that Wed., Oct. 23rd @ 5:30, is our first in the S...
Hello From the Chinook Senior Center I have been gone for a full week of fun in Boston and let me tell you that the colors weren’t even changing much, as it has been unseasonably warm there. Nevertheless it was a wonderful week spent with my sister and we had so much fun making memories and filling a bucket list. Boston is rich in history and so many places to walk to and think about. What a marvelous time filled with adventures! We are now charging through October with lots of upcoming activities! We have many fun things slated for October a...
Hello From the Chinook Senior Center Everyone has enjoyed the Sugarbeet Festival, I trust. So many and varied activities for all to enjoy. Lots of effort from many people make this a success, every year. Hooray to all who put the effort forth. Looks like our weather is getting more “Fallish”, so let’s all enjoy the colors while we can. It is always such a beautiful, sweet, short season to enjoy. Soon, we will see pumpkins and goblins, too. Our Center is once again inviting the school age children to come and Trick or Treat @ 3:30 on Hallo...
Hello From the Chinook Senior Center We had a wonderful day last Saturday, and served a large number of people for our Indian Taco Feed, which was one of our fundraisers, to benefit our Center. The rising cost of nearly everything seems to be constantly ahead of us. Wow! Here we are in October! The changing of the leaves (which will hopefully last for more than a week). We have several fun things coming up in October. FOOT CLINIC is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 7th! If you need an appointment, please call us soon! 357-2648 WE HAVE A PIE SOCIAL,...
Hello From the Chinook Senior Center After a call to the Blaine County Health Department, last week, I discovered that prior to Mark Weber’s retirement, he had not gotten the information to Laura, to let her know that we had made arrangements for the Stepping On class to be held here. What I DID find out is that Laura has this class planned at the Library Meeting Room, each Wed. from 10:00-11:00 for several weeks. Please excuse this inadvertent mess-up with what Mark & I had planned prior to his retirement. Our Sugarbeet Festival is fast a...
Hello From the Chinook Senior Center As I write this article, for the paper, and I look at the calendar, it truly brings home all that has been done, by our very own, to protect and defend our nation, from those who have sought to bring us harm. I hope that we all are taking a moment to reflect on the day in 2001 that changed the lives of so very many people. Praising God for the people who stand up and protect us each and every day. PINOCHLE MARATHON IS BEGINNING, SO PLEASE CALL RUTH BROWN TO GET SCHEDULED, IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON JOINING....
