It's the time of year again, as ewe might know...time to trim back those eyebrows a bit. The saying, "pulling the wool over your eyes" takes on a reality check. Across the county, livestock owners of sheep take on the grueling task of shearing the woolies. Such was the plan for the quiet Saturday at the Brian Green feedlot as his sheep received a quick encounter with the blades. Doing the coiffeur honor for Green was Zeb Olson. There is no doubt, the skills and talents of a sheep shearer are to...

Leaving Malta, a couple of weeks ago, headed south on vacation, we managed to slip between storms sweeping the country. Except for a stretch of snow-covered highway through Island Park, Idaho, we had dry pavement all the way to the desert. I doubt we’ll be so lucky on our return trip. The atmospheric river which I had been hearing so much about this winter is still raging. We’re on the edge of it and we’re nearly in Mexico. Somewhere between here and home, I suspect we’ll have to cross it, but...

March 8: I am home! Eleven days in Florida were packed with activities and adventures. My host, Fran Compton, spoiled me rotten! I loved it! First of all, I flew into Fort Myers, stayed overnight, and met Sophia Stiles for breakfast. What a wonderful visit! From there Fran drove to Lake Placid where she lives but first, we stopped at a fresh fruit stand! I couldn’t believe all the delicious fruit and vegetables were displayed! So many kinds! We picked some oranges, bananas, star fruit, b...
It is still staying cold and miserable and over the weekend we had one of the worst storms of the winter. It snowed and blew hard from the east and dumped about eight inches of snow on the two feet or so that was already there and after the winds arranged it in drifts where there had not been drifts it was a lot of snow to get moved. Then there is a large water break that is wasting a lot of water downtown and is flooding quite an area. The community was saddened with the death of lifelong...

The climate in northeast Montana the last few years hasn't been the best for our area fishing ponds. Back-to-back summer droughts and now a tough, long winter this year, have left fish populations in many ponds and small reservoirs across northeastern Montana with little room to breathe. As a result, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is asking anglers to help identify ponds this spring that may have winterkilled. What causes fish to winterkill? There are many factors that influence a pond to...

Recently, Mayor John Demarais met with Mike Muñoz, City Compliance Officer, and individuals within the community to address the City appearance and a general clean-up. “We’re gunna start cleaning up the town,” said Mayor Demarais. The effort will be “team” driven, as the City wants to work hand-in-hand with the residents to make the City cleaner, more appealing and in turn, healthier. The decay of building, sheds, fences and other breeding grounds and nesting grounds are on the list. “Are we Mayberry? No…but our town was clean and neat,” stated...
