The winter wonderland of enchantment filled the crisp air the evening of Thursday, December 1, as the young and the old came to partake in the Christmas Festival at the Phillips County Museum. Arriving, as was the word received earlier, Mr. Ebenezer greeted guests and even threw on a smile on occasion, just to keep people guessing whether they were in the right place! Decked out and looking quite debonair and dashing, his carefree and cynical grouchy attitude was the only gloom on the night...
The gift that keeps on giving. Giving for life. Giving life. That is what donors lined up in the Event Center for on Thursday, December 1... the gift of donating blood. Utilizing the newly repurposed old National Guard Armory, the American Red Cross Blood Mobile team was excited with the spacious facility and will be contemplating utilizing it in the future. Every two seconds someone needs blood. Every two seconds! Dave Wall, team director, stated the goal that had been set for this particular...

Dear Editor and Readers, I've noticed on all of the news outlets and in the papers, that the man in charge of the wolf population in Montana is retiring and said it has been a roaring success. I wholeheartedly agree. They have brought back enough wolves to exterminate the deer and elk in western Montana for whatever reasons that they have hidden. The one thing it did do, is push all the hunters over to Eastern Montana where we still have game, at least until the wolves show up. Of course we blame all the hunters, and yet they are victims of an...
Moe replies to Gertie's letter in the 11/30/22 PCN Dear Gertie, I went up the mountain yesterday to visit Granpa Mac. I parked my jalopy at the bottom of the trail and went to hoofin' up those switchback trails. His cabin is still neat as a pin. We sat there jawin' awhile and then he started one of his recollections. I shore do like it when he gets to yarnin'. This one, he told about his moonshinin' days. This is the way he tells it: "Jed gave me our birdcall signal when he seed them two revenuers skulking up the trail so I was ready for them....
Why didn’t anybody tell me this was going to happen? I never understood why my father took to the couch when he turned 70. But he did, and for much of the rest of his life that’s where he remained. Mom used to say it was because his legs hurt. I left it there. I was young and healthy and full of myself. No way was I going to follow in his footsteps or lack of them. That was his choice. Not mine. I’d stay active until I tipped over. Or so I thought. Then I turned 70. I’d accumulated a few ach...
I suppose there is a reason for everything. I used to think that I was strong, maybe not stronger than most, but stronger than average. I could squeeze out a few reps of 250 pounds on the bench. My deadlift weight was decent but not anything near strongman level. I could squat even more, but lifting lost its luster over time. I had my firstborn son PJ and between the late nights with my handsome boy and work hours, I had no desire to wake up at 4:30 a.m. in the morning. I wish I had stuck with i...
Sympathy to all people and animals who are outside in the snow and cold. Greetings from the North Pole! It is cold and we have snow! It is December, Jesus’ birthday!

My favorite is the Food Bank, Salvation Army, and others, including the homeless people. Back in Whitewater, get well wishes to Jeanie Green and all who are...
WE FOUND THIS WEEK VERY COLD ALL WEEK. On Thursday there was a very small skiff of snow. Friday started out again below zero, but at noon when the sun was high in the south it actually felt quite warm. It's awful to talk about the weather all the time but it is certainly on everyone's mind, it sort of determines what we do, go, or wear. It's sad that even in this cold weather one house was reported broken into and things were stolen. I guess we always have thieves. Thanks go out again to Velyma...
So far, we have a white December out here at Loring! Not a huge amount but a nice blanket. My sister Debbie drove up from Billings for a few days! We went to the Phillips County Museums Festival of Trees and really enjoyed seeing some friends whom I haven’t seen in a while! The table decorations were so beautiful! And the auction items were superb! Congrats to the artists! We also saw Carol Lumsden and Alice Bartz, who is visiting from France. Saturday Cindy Clark came over for lunch. We had a...
