  • Loring/Affinity News, January 1, 2025

    Dixie Stordahl, PCN Correspondent|Jan 1, 2025

    Happy New Year to all of you reading this article. Someone said, “Christmas is over.” As I contemplated that statement I realized that Christmas is ongoing, never over. It’s a day that we celebrate Christ’s birth, but the reason he was born is never over. And all I can say to that is “Thank you, Lord!” On Christmas Eve I attended a candlelight service at Joy Lutheran with a friend, Carol Metzger. I realized that I’ve been missing the liturgy of the Lutheran church and I was refreshed. Do...

  • December Update from Sen. Tempel

    Russ Tempel Senator SD 14|Jan 1, 2025

    Judy and I are getting ready for our move to Helena to begin the 69th session of the Montana legislature. I hope your holidays were filled with family and friends and we wish you the best of the New Year. Our move will be to a different rental than we have been in for the past four sessions. Almost the same story for the landlords; they plan on being gone for the winter months and rent their home to Helena visitors. Many legislators have the same scenario. I have to thank them for that, as there is a shortage of housing in the Helena area. In...

  • The Season Ends Too Quickly

    Parker Heinlein, Outdoors Columnist|Jan 1, 2025

    The end of the season always comes too quickly. Especially this year. Selling the house in Malta last summer, then tackling a building project in Livingston that’s still not done left little time to hunt. I tell myself next year will be different. We’re finally done with the move, and in few months I’ll be finished with construction. But you never know. I’m at an age folks refer to as elderly. Tomorrow is hardly guaranteed. Yesterday, however, hunting the CMR National Wildlife Refuge with a whit...

  • Turning Over the Calendar

    Kari Hould Kari's Quiet Corner, PCN Staff|Jan 1, 2025

As the minutes click away…second by second…may the turning over of the calendar bring changes that will bring peace and happiness to you.

This will be my final assignment and I will be hanging up my pen. Over the years, have you noticed changes around you? Have you looked...
