He is living the dream and his marriage to the bewitching Vivian is the center of that dream. But underneath the shiny surface of this perfect existence fault lines are beginning to appear and no one is more surprised than Russ when he finds every aspec...
It has been a long, long cold spell starting long before Christmas and lasting into January. Finally, though it is the middle of January and a January thaw seems to be taking place. It is fine with me. By Friday I could tell it was close to the end of the cold spell but was the coldest day yet. I figured that my dog was really hurting from the cold. I knew I was not doing my car any favors by starting it several times a day just so it would go when I needed it to. The boiler in my house seemed never to shut down. I would turn it down at night...

Bee Lucke was the son of Havre pioneer Lou Lucke. He loved Clear Creek almost as much as his father had. He was blessed for his father-in-law C. L. Stuart shared that love for the area. The two of them spent years moving into old homestead cabins up and down the creek and turning them into fishing camps. At the time fishing was not allowed during the winter on Clear Creek. No matter for most winters, with the cars the two drove, they couldn’t even get to Clear Creek. However, there was that one winter that was so open that January, February, a...
The new LIbrary will hopefully be open for business next week sometime. Overbay has been in Big Sandy for three years and was a volunteer for children's story book time. She heard that Vicki Silvan was moving on so she applied and got the job of head librarian. Overbay started on December 12, 2016. Almost as Overbay was doing this library interview trucks were moving things that were in the old library into the new library and Overbay is hopeful that by next Monday most things will be in place...
In case you haven't noticed there are big things going on at the former NAPA Auto Parts Store in downtown Big Sandy. The popular auto parts store has new owners, a new name and even a new location. Owned by Bob and Sandy Wilson, the store changed hands in December and is now located in the old Q Café on the Judith Road and Highway 87 Junction which provides for plenty of parking for even the largest grain trucks needing a special part. Even though the business is not new, the name is. Now...
I have been giggling every since. I was talking to a friend on the telephone last night. The boiler was churning out heat madly but with the temperature around twenty below, this was indeed what we would have called in Glacier National Park a Three Dog Night. That expression came from an area where in the winter, elk stay. It is called Two Dog Flats. In researching the story of the naming of that area, I came across an old story, probably more fiction than fact, that name referred to how many dogs it took to keep you and your wife warm on a col...

Vic’s Pics This week Vicki has chosen a huge thriller by Harlan Coben called “HOME” if I read the literature right in describing this book. A decade ago kidnappers grabbed two boys from wealthy families and demanded ransom, then went silent. No trace of the boys ever surfaced. For ten years their families have been left with nothing but painful memories and a quiet desperation for the day that has finally miraculously arrived. Myron Bolitar and his friend Win believe they have located one of the boys, now a teenager. Where has he been for t...

Five years ago had you asked Austin Genereux if his family would be attending motorcycle races all over the state, he probably would have looked at you like you were crazy. That is exactly what happened. You see for years now at the Genereux Ranch, Austin, his wife and kids, since they were very little, have been chasing cattle up and down coulees on motorcycles. Might it be added that they have gotten very good at it! It was not long ago that Austin heard about Off Road Motorcycle Races in...
This time of year the State of Montana puts out an interesting book about agricultural statistics in Montana. Let’s start with the basics. There are 27,500 farms and ranches in Montana. The average acreage is 2,171 acres. The average value of a Montana farm or ranch is around two million twenty-nine thousand dollars. Of those farms and ranches 4 % is woodland, 1.4% is other, 28.5% is cropland and 65% is pasture and range. In 2012 Chouteau County had 774 farms and ranches. Land was two million seventy one thousand dollars and the average farm si...

This week Vicki chose a James Patterson large print novel called “BULLSEYE”. It is a detective Michael Bennett thriller. Snow blankets the avenues of Manhattan’s exclusive upper west side. The storm is the perfect cover for a fashionable, highly trained team of lethal assassins as they prowl the street hunting their prey. But their first hit is simply target practice. Their next mission may very well turn the cold war red hot once again. Stepping directly into the line of fire, the president of the United States is in New York for a summit at t...

The weather bureau was wrong. They predicted a nice January. We printed their prediction in “The Mountaineer” and ended up looking like we knew not much of anything to trust them in the first place. Just as we were recovering from that mistake, I was driving to Big Sandy early one morning before dawn. I was listening to a radio station in Great Falls and, as it had been cold, the station announcer had weather on his mind. Here is what got to me. All the stations from Cutbank to Chinook and south to Helena and Lewistown reported above zero rea...
The neatest scene I ever saw regarding Christmas Trees in the Bear Paw Mountains would have meant little or nothing if I hadn’t been an English teacher and loved to teach Macbeth. During those days a friend or two and I would go up to the tops of mountains and cut down several trees that would barely fit into our living rooms. But they were so beautiful and after all, I always had the huge Christmas trees of Francis and Laened Black as patterns. If they could have a Griswold Christmas tree, why couldn’t I? What we always wanted was the top twe...
