"Every year I wonder if I should do this project, and every year my students make me so proud and I realize why I do it," said 2nd-grade teacher and organizer of Dinosaur Day, Mrs. Teri Blunt. Every year, for the past 15 or 16 years, Mrs. Blunt gets out the large collection of dinosaur books and each student gets to pick which dinosaur they will do a report and presentation on. "It has evolved into a kind of lottery," Mrs. Blunt said. "We draw names and they get to choose. Then they can switch...
It was a fairly straightforward, relatively uneventful meeting, for a change, at the Malta School Board meeting held on April 12, in the Malta High School.

He informed the board that in one of the upcoming meetings, the board would have to make a decision on how the Malta Schools would approach the use of 8th –graders in high school sports activities. The Montana High School Association recently passed a motion allowing 8th –graders to participate in...

Wondering how Zortman got its name? Zortman, an early mining town in the Little Rockies, was named after Oliver Pete Zortman. Zortman was born in Pennsylvania in 1865. He spent his early years receiving a school education and helping his father in his farming. In his early 20’s the lure of gold and striking it rich drew him to the Black Hills. Not having any success in that area, he landed in Landusky in 1894, later moving to a mining camp to the north. Ellen Burrows, a business owner in Zortman, remembers him as a tall, handsome man with g...
Thanks to all who gave me birthday parties, gifts, cards, and phone calls. I appreciate all. Easter Sunday, the Whitewater Lutheran Church had a brunch followed by church with many guests. These included Barb and Ben Math (formerly of Whitewater), and Julie Nagy, pianist of the day. We had snow on Easter, but it has been an easy winter compared to the 1940’s and the 50’s. “Welcome back to Dixie Stordahl, Loring’s correspondent. Dixie has been in Arizona.

It has been a weird spring. They call Chicago the Windy City, but I grew up in Chicago and had never experienced wind like the winds that we had earlier this month. Continued wind gusts over 75 miles per hour in our part of the Hi-Line was a crazy experience. So many in our community experienced big losses due to wind but for some reason, our house was spared for the most part. We lost a couple of shingles, and I lost the peanuts from our bird feeder, but we were pretty fortunate. I am saddened...

A wonderful surprise for me when I looked at my shelf with my amaryllis bulbs stored on it! One had grown a new bud shoot and will be blooming soon! Such a lift to my heart! Spring birds that I’ve noted lately, slate sided junco, robins, meadowlarks, gulls, lots of hawks, and I’ve heard the song of a finch or warbler! The weather has been so fickle, teasing about moisture, but not delivering. The relentless wind is never ending! It actually blew a few pieces of my soffit off! I pray that you...

There is no doubt about it, across most of Montana the 2021 growing season left a lot to be desired. Over most of the eastern two-thirds of the state, precipitation was 60% of normal or less. These areas were also affected by unusually hot temperatures. A rare, late August rainfall created a small burst of fall green-up that quickly withered in the face of continued dry conditions and the appetites of voracious grasshoppers before fall frosts could mark the end of the growing season. So, what does that leave us expecting for pasture and range c...
