It was Lucky Friday the Thirteenth for Tallow Creek School's two students this past June, when they held Tallow Creek's end-of-school program.

Take only photographs. Leave only footprints. That’s the mantra for visiting wild lands. Or at least it used to be. Now the feds want to add a caveat: “Make sure you purchase a $1,500 permit for those photographs.” Under a directive issued by the U.S. Forest Service last week, permits would be required by journalists, film crews and even hobbyists to shoot photos or film in designated wilderness areas. The new rules would even require newspaper photographers to obtain special use permits befor...
Fans of the front page weather spot -- I know there are at least a dozen of you – I must apologize as I’ve made a bit of a fuax pus in the last couple of weeks. I have forgotten to change the commentary in said feature and I’ve called for “warmer weather with a chance of rain” for at least three weeks in a row. Crimeny! I forgot that I had started adding a synopsis to each week’s weather prediction and I haven’t changed it in a bit. It is a nice touch, I think, and I will now remember to change it on a weekly basis. However, If it is still read...

Get well wishes to the Clarks of Loring, and others also. Judy Okatt from Oregon (an old school mate of mine) was here visit...

I’ve never been one to read signs well, this unfortunately carried over into fatherhood I’ve noticed. Our three month old baby cries and cries and cries often. I had the honor and privelege of babysitting him last Friday.. He cried and cried and cried. Diaper? Check. Bottle? Check. Get him to crib for a nap? Negative. He was really clingy this day in particular and wouldn’t let daddy put him down for anything, until ultimately he was too tired to resist. Then thankfully mom came home early...
