During World War I and World War II, farmers were called on to grow crops essential to feeding our troops such as potatoes, corn, wheat and cattle feed. Each person was allotted a specific amount of food, gas, heating oil, shoes, etc., to be sure our troops had what they needed. As a result of this rationing, vegetables were harder to come by. To be sure their families had enough food to eat, people grew their own vegetables and called it their Victory Garden. It seems that things are again...

Saco School hosted the local science fair on March 23rd. All 6th - 8th graders presented their projects, and seven students advanced to the state science fair competition in Missoula against many other schools. From there, five students walked away with gold ribbons, and two took home silver ribbons. All of these students, and their respective families, have put in many hours of work towards these science fair projects. We appreciate our local science fair judges for their time: Roberta...
Be careful what you wish for. Following years of drought and rapidly declining water levels we finally got a real winter. Now it’s spring and the melt has begun. It looks like we’ll have plenty of water in our bay at Fort Peck Lake once again. Unfortunately, however, I can’t get there. Lat week the north fork of Rock Creek washed out a culvert on the only road leading to our cabin, taking a sizable chunk of road with it. Until the road is fixed or the ice melts there’s no way in or out. While th...
As I sit here for the first time in several weeks, the world outside is buzzing. Warmer weather has brought a new look as we begin to experience some run off; the creeks are rising, there are robins and meadowlarks blasting new tunes and excitement for spring! There is something about the subtle changes that bring back memories. The first crocus has brightened the bland prairie and an array on newborn baby calves add freshness to the picture. I have yet to hear anyone complaining about the longer days and bright sunshine. You’ll have to go a w...
Gordon Mark Haugen passed away on Thursday, March 30, 2023, in Green Valley, Arizona. Gordon was born to Mark and Ruth Matchett Haugen in Glasgow, Montana on March 11, 1937. His family moved to a farm outside of Chinook, Montana in 1941, where he attended school. In 1955, Gordon met and married a Havre Central girl, Sharon Walen (“Punky” to all who knew her). To this union came three sons and one daughter. Gordon worked a variety of jobs and lived in various Hi-line communities until 1964 when he and his young family moved back to the Hau... Full story
Warmer temperatures have arrived and there is water almost everywhere. Beginning to be a little flooding in places. Hope farmer’s reservoirs are being filled up and it all isn't coming where it isn't necessary. There are still a lot of drifts and piles of snow to melt. Holy Week has come and gone so I hope everyone had a good Easter. There were services all over so everyone should have had a chance to share the season with prayers, our Lord, and friends. My son Bill came and took me to Havre, so...
Last year I whined about missing the song of the Meadowlarks, but I didn’t whine this year, because I knew that they would be later! Well, just in time for Easter, I heard the song of the Meadowlark! I have spotted the Slate-sided Junco, chipping sparrows, a gull, a crow, and many hawks! The snow started melting and there is a little water running through my yard! Cindy Clark was host to her family for Easter dinner. I was honored to be included. As I was visiting with Mylee I commented that B...
It is April 2023, sympathy to farmers and ranchers who are calving in this snow, ice, and cold weather. Also, sympathy to the calves and sheep who have endured the weather this long, hard winter. THINK SPRING! Representative Gideon Wesley Koss was out at Whitewater Church Sunday. They raised money to put Bibles in hotel rooms and other places. Jeannie Green sold most of her sheep. She will miss them, won’t you Jeannie Green? Well, I am trying to renew my passport. I only need the small one, t...

With the weather warming up ever so slightly, my family has decided to head north. Only for a day. I do not know what I expect to see in Swift Current, Sask., Canada. I know that throughout her childhood, my wife has been there a few times. We have talked about several things that we will see up there, but only one thing really stuck out to me; Chinese Food! Chinese food is a cuisine that I loved growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, but during my college years I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed...

The guard, listed at 5'3", is the daughter of Kris and Tricia LaBrie of Whitewater. She was first asked, why Miles City? "I wanted to keep playing basketball," LaBrie said. "I got a chance to go down and talk to Coach (Jenna) Bolstad, meet the team, and we took a tour of the college. I really liked it." Sh...
Marijuana is legal in Montana for recreational and medical use. 4/20 Day celebrations promote a large and growing business. It has become another opportunity for cannabis companies to promote the industry and its products. In many ways, it is similar to alcohol companies using the Super Bowl or St. Patrick's Day. At one time, 4/20 Day was a counterculture protest. Marijuana legalization undercut this as the business grows, sells, and markets marijuana. Like any other product, it will always...

Members of Malta Dirt Daubers Garden Club recently added five birdhouses to the Malta Bird Sanctuary located along the Trafton Trail behind the HG Robinson House, PC Museum and GPDM. The barn style wooden houses were made and donated by Clair Waters to attract and house smaller birds along the trail. It is reported that the upper trail is soft in some areas but clear for spring walking and mornings are a great time to catch geese on the Milk River. If you go - it's suggested you park along US...
