Considering the weather we have been experiencing all winter, the turnout for the blood drive on Tuesday, March 6th was just under goal. We had 47 donors present with 41 productive units. We had one first time donor, Cristen Friede. Richard Cronk reached 8 gallons and Dave Jensen reached 2 gallons. The canteen was hosted by the American Lutheran Church and those helping out in the kitchen were Wenda Oehmke, Terry Grabofsky, Midlred Dawson, Sharon LaPlante and Beth Petrie. The time and effort by all involved certainly did not go unnoticed....

February at Harlem Elementary means tons of reading fun. To kick off "I Love To Read" month activities, the students began a reading frenzy, each striving to reach their Accelerated Reader goals. Every AR test the students passed meant they earned a segment (circle) with their name and the title of each book. These segments formed the "I Love To Read" Bookworm, which by the end of the month, circled the entire inside of the Elementary School! Hard-working students reaching their AR goals for...

Reporter's note: Locals of a certain age will likely recall the "Pink Apartments" in downtown Chinook on the corner across the street from the Motor Inn and adjacent to Dan's NAPA. The apartments were torn down, along with Dr. Hoon's office and residence, in September, 1987 and the three town lots became the present Centennial Park. The park commemorates the centennial of the town of Chinook as well as Montana, both founded in 1889. Mid-January of this year the Sweet Nursing Home received an...
With warm weather on the way, hopefully, it's time to start thinking about enjoying the great outdoors a little more.

The Meet and Greet will again be held at the Chinook Eagles Club...

Calving season is an already difficult task, add on these winter elements and the process becomes even more perilous. Ranchers have had their hands full making sure newborn calves can survive their brutal welcome into the world....
The winter of 2017-18 will be talked about for many years to come just as the winter of 1978-79 is still fresh in the minds of those there to experience it. That winter was extremely cold and provided many problems that some couldn't overcome. There were lambing and cow/calf operations that had to sell off their entire herds because they couldn't maintain them. The city of Chinook had experienced more than 55 water main breaks at local residences and as many as five main line breaks by February...
Reporter's note: About this time last year I read about the St. Uhro's celebration in Butte. St. Uhro's Day is celebrated each March 16 in regions of the U.S. where large numbers of descendants of Finnish immigrants still live. And it's not just coincidence that it's celebrated the day before St. Patrick's Day, which in the U.S. seems to get a lot more play than St. Uhro's. After reading about the celebration in Butte, I wrote a note on my calendar as a reminder to educate myself about St. Uhro'...
Reporter's note: Next Saturday night (March, 10) most of us, if we remember, will be changing our clocks one hour ahead as we "spring forward" into the start of Daylight Saving Time (DST) for 2018. It's a ritual observed among some 70 nations including most of North America and Europe and spotty in much of the rest of the world. There are a couple of notable exceptions in the U.S., including Arizona and Hawaii, and one Canadian province, that opted out of implementing DST. Reviewing my notes I f...

Students and Staff enjoyed having reading mentoring this past week at the school. The younger students teamed up with an older student and read to each other. It was such a rewarding site as the little ones absolutely ate up being mentored by an older student. The older students were such a delight to watch work with the younger students. It was such a rewarding event! Shown is Lacey Hickel, a freshman, listening to Savannah Heilig, a first grader, enjoy the read aloud activity time during I...
