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...

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...

Reporter's note: The hard winter in north central Montana may not be the only news story, but it is certainly one of the main ones. I wanted to see how folks in a variety of situations are dealing with this winter. This is not a comprehensive list of every "winter of 2018 story." But, it's a sampling of some of the challenges, and interestingly, some of the unanticipated benefits of a hard winter. Here's a brief look at how a few of us are coping this winter. Health and safety: more than normal...
The American Red Cross invites the community to join its lifesaving mission by giving blood this March in celebration of Red Cross Month. Our upcoming blood drive on Tuesday, March 6, 2018 at Wallner Hall has a collection goal of 48. Think about all of the lives we can touch by signing up to donate. Blood is a vital resource, one which cannot be manufactured. Only people can supply blood, so patients depend on donors like you and me. The Red Cross must collect more than 13,000 blood donations every day for patients in need. When you give...

He used videos of vintage dances to illustrate how famous dances developed. Matthews has done the history of American dance presentations for about four years. A friend...

We’ve had a week of cold, below Zero temps with wind to blow the snow around and into drifts making roads impassable. Monday being a holiday, and then a couple of days with no mail. It made for a long week. Busses didn’t run a few of those days and if you wanted to get your kids to school, you broke trail and got them there. It’s tough for the snow plows to work when the snow blows the roads shut right behind them. We really appreciate our snow plow drivers and we thank them for all they do. Loretta and Wally Beck took Jamie and Crystal Zellm...
