The Great Plains Dinosaur Museum has been open for two weeks and I’m happy to report that many people have stopped to see just what we had behind the big green metal walls! Since we were locked down or not open due to COVID 19 until June 1 I was a bit concerned with how we would be received once we were able to open again. I’m happy to say that we have had 140 visitors from all over Montana. Other visitors came from Idaho, Minnesota, North Dakota, Florida, Wyoming, California, Wyoming, Wis...

Did you know even a small muscle group like ankle flexors can impact your ability to walk with confidence? Consider the key elements of a good walking pattern: • good posture with eyes forward not down, • a strong ankle flexion and heel strike directly forward -not opening to the side • easily transferring weight from one foot to the other •forward movement - you could walk along a wide board. To assess fall risks, researchers examine stride-length (how far apart your feet are front to back), stride-width (how far apart your feet are side to...

Happy summer! The longest amount of daylight was on Saturday with the first full day of summer on Sunday! Both days the sunrises and sunsets were awesome! Just enough clouds to give us an interesting scene. I hope that all the fathers had a great day, fishing, boating, or just relaxing! Our community picnic was held in the Loring Hall since it was wet on the picnic ground. We had a nice crowd. Lu Besel came over to paint at Dixie Stordahl's. The master bedroom and bathroom are getting a spiffing up! Oh, the flycatcher rebuilt for a third time...
We have been having rains almost every day or two over the last week. The overnight temperatures have been very cool for this time of year. It certainly has been uncertain and different weather. It is too bad that the planned all school reunion has been cancelled but with the Covid 19 and more outbreaks all the time it is probably for the best. We have been fortunate here on the highline — not too many cases were reported but now even Valley County has one reported. Comes closer to home! More people are going out more away from their homes a...

We had one day of summer this week. The temps were in the ’90s as were the wind speeds! No, I jest. The wind was only 70 mph! Plenty hot and sucking the moisture right out of the ground! Last week I told you about the flycatcher nest in the rafters over my deck. The nest was on the ground again this week after the strong winds all night. I'm not sure if she'll rebuild at this date or not. Thank you to the kind souls who helped move the dirt to the churchyard to landscape! You are definitely one...
This week we have the story of Johnny Ritch another Phillips County character. Johnny rode into the town of Landusky in the glory days of the mining camp. During his first visit to Landusky, he lost his hat and cigarettes and came to several days later on a poker table, but he must have liked the town as he soon became a well-known citizen. Now Johnny had a bit of the reformer in him and had tolerable oratorical gifts. He was often called on to speak at funerals. The community of Landusky did take exception at a funeral for two local men who...

Having heard concerns about the economic impact of COVID-19 and being sensitive to uncertain and changing business dynamics, the Montana Fish & Wildlife Commission has postponed its June 12 meeting, during which it was to decide whether to put out for public comment a draft environmental assessment (EA) on alternatives for managing recreation on the Madison River.
