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...

A taco dinner was served following a pep rally involving school students, parents, community members, and coaches.

This is the first time Turner has had a girls team advance to Divisional since the 1996-1997 season. Everyone...
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...

Before its regular February meeting the Chinook Council heard the first presentation of a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) that addresses issues with the city's water distribution system. The PER serves as a planning document to help the council prioritize work to be done on the distribution system. A PER is required to successfully apply for grants to finance the upgrade. Two years ago the city began the process and submitted its first grant application which was not funded. The regular mon...
I grew up in southern Illinois. By the time February rolled around most folks in that region were already sick of winter with the its grey skies and gloomy weather. The bright spot about February in southern Illinois, however, was three holidays that kids in school could enjoy. I would guess just about every grade school class, back in the 1950’s, had some sort of Valentine exchange and, if they were lucky, the “room mothers” would provide special treats for an in-classroom party. And way before the 1950’s most schools celebrated George...

One month ago I wrote a story for the paper titled "Finally, warmer weather allows locals to 'dig out.'" Readers may recall we had a brief warmup in mid-January, of a couple of days, and snow removal and clean up began in earnest. Before my story about the warm up could run in the paper, the bottom fell out as far as weather and we plunged back into frigid temperatures and more snow, snow and snow ad nauseum. I had to scrap that story and hope for another warmup. The recent spring-like day on...
