A perfect day was the way many described Saturday, June 4. The weather was in the mid-70s, with good food, good music, and the number of entries in the car show that brought the numbers back to where they were pre-Covid. "It was a great day for the 20th Annual FSB Car Show," said show organizer Terry Skones. "We've had a great turnout today. Thanks to everyone for coming out and having a good day with us." With 90 vehicles entered into the show, vendors in the park, and businesses having...
They came to honor and show respect and patriotism and pride filled the room. A day of remembrance, Memorial Day is more than an extra day off from work or picnics or sitting on the shore waiting for a bite on the fishing hook. A crowd filled the VFW on Memorial Day to pay their respects to special members of our community, Gold Star Mother Mellissa Sandvick and WWII Veteran Fred Allery. American Legion President Michelle Stevens welcomed Mellissa as the county's lone Gold Star Mother. She read...

Memorial Day, we remember Veterans, especially those killed in action. I remember my cousin, Danny Austin, who was killed in an Air Force plane crash. He was only 19. It was so sad.

Jeanie Green went to Great Falls to babysit and take...
RAIN! I’m not sure how much but it is very welcome! Most of the calves are branded and waiting to be put out to summer pasture! This rain is such a blessing. I see the eastern and western kingbirds are back! Now I’m waiting to spot the Larkbunting. I heard from a birder friend from Galveston and he said the migration is later than usual. He brings tour birders up to Montana to observe the birds in this area. If you want a great entertaining afternoon or evening, you can miss with the Fort Pec...
Does anyone recognize the term “cocktail guard”? Sounds like a fun job. Maybe a time to gather at a bar or lounge for cocktail hour? Complete different meaning for a cowboy. After a long day on the trail a spot would be found to hold the herd for the night. It would have both water and grass available. The cattle would be watered and allowed to graze. Then with basic needs met the cattle were ready to lie quiet and chew their cuds. It was nearing twilight and soon to be dark. This period was called the “cocktail guard”. It was a time of rest...
There is a common denominator in school shootings: America’s rifle, the AR-15. Built to throw a lot of lead, this mass-produced, cheaply made weapon was designed for the military, but has been embraced by every nut-case with a grudge since they became legal. Not a sporting arm in any way, the AR-15 and its knockoffs are weapons of war and video games. For a short time Remington marketed its entry into the assault weapon field as a “coyote getter,” but even the NRA knew that was a stretch. It was...

After a perfect day on Saturday, June 4, for the test and tune session after the car show, the rain moved in overnight and had some wondering if the points racing on Sunday, June 5, would take place.

"We had standing water on the track when we got here this morning. We got it dried, cleaned, and ready for racing by 11 a.m." With a small...
