Dear Editor, At the Hi-Line Retirement Home, we recently had National Nursing Home Week. We wanted to send a letter of appreciation for the staff. The staff does more than anyone will ever know. The staff, from the CEO down through all the departments, work not just because it is their job, but because they care about the residents. Their commitment is shown by them almost running through their 12-hour shift to answer lights or give a wheelchair a push. During National Nursing Home week the meals and costumes and themes were wonderful! Some of...
Dear Editor, We at Milk River Days of Hinsdale wanted to send an open letter to the businesses and people in Phillips and Valley County. The purpose of this letter is twofold.

The donations from individuals and businesses have been incredible. The second point is we, unfortunately, are letting you know that we are suspending the festivities for 2020. The ongoing threat of COVID and the restrictions placed...
I don’t like to see my boats upside down in the water. It’s distressing. When I was a kid, however, my friends and I would almost always flip my canoe. Like us, in our youth, it was unsinkable, so it didn’t really matter. I’m still here. So is the canoe. But as I grew older, unplanned dunkings lost their allure. If I want to get wet I go swimming. I’ve owned a number of boats over the years, and with the exception of the canoe, none of them have ever flipped. Until recently. My friend E-dub and...
The fun is over. My wife Susan and I left the Keto Diet a month ago, well I hate to say it but, we are currently back on the diet once again. About a month ago we finally came to a realization that the diet was hard to stay on. In the first nine months or so, we would only have a monthly cheat day. Things were going great. We were both down 70 pounds and then we started to ease up a little bit. A once a month cheat meal became a once a week cheat. And in April we realized that we were cheating...

Last week I introduced you to Snakehead Gilbert and this week we meet another “character” that lived in Phillips County. Dum Dum Bill was the nickname that stuck to him. Dum Dum Bill lived in Landusky during the early days. He was known as a quiet and intellectual character with a lovable disposition. So lovable that it was reported, “He always shot to kill to avoid unnecessary pain and distress!” Now Dum Dum Bill did not allow his intellectual abilities to interfere with his mining town life. In fact, he used it while playing poker – makin...
