A movement is underway to establish and enhance locally grown vegetables and other foods for the Northern Choteau County area. I spoke with Bob Quinn, who explained the concept and timeline to me. “This is an idea that Thomas and Heather Dilworth came up with. They asked if I could help them with designing and maybe helping find somebody that could run a greenhouse (a large hoop house) to raise as much local food as possible for the town… They were looking at getting a grant and building it and all that sort of stuff. I said, “I love that....

The Big Sandy Library will be launching a new book club this Friday, the 28th, at 2 PM. The “Loosely Bound Book Club” will live up to its name by providing the town’s readers with a place to discuss the books they are reading, rather than filling a schedule where everyone is reading the same book. The advantage of the loose approach is that it provides an opportunity for participants to share what they are thinking or enjoying in their own reading adventures. It also gives participants the chance to be exposed to new authors and titles, heari...

Halfway through the winter season, each coach knows where they are and where they want to go. Pioneer boys basketball coach Thomas Dilworth says his personal goal is to coach character. “I want to have good men, not good basketball players. That’s my biggest thing, focusing on that because it all relates to basketball. It’s discipline, integrity, and accountability. You have to use them to be a good basketball team. I like to win games; it’s fun, but I hope that’s not what I am remembered by.” Right now, “We’re learning. When we get on the righ...
The Word is Murder The Word is Murder is a novel written by Anthony Horowitz. It is a murder mystery that is focused through the eyes of the author investigating an unusual murder of a middle-aged woman named Diana Cowper. Anthony Horowitz works with an ex-detective named Nathaniel Hawthorne, a gruff, eccentric man who has an unique way of solving crimes. At first, it seemed like a burglar break-in until Anthony and Hawthorne discovered that Diana had planned for her funeral the same day that she died. And that her son Damian Cowper is a famous...
When I first moved to Big Sandy, my daughter (who was one at the time) and I started visiting a resident at the nursing home. She loved having my little girl visit, and we both enjoyed our conversations. During my time visiting with her, I learned a very important truth. That truth was that we only have as many days as we have. That seems sort of obvious, but it is easy to live life as though we are going to live forever and have all the time in the world to do everything we want to do. The problem of course is that this is an illusion. My...

One of the two games for the weekend was postponed due to Covid. That left the Pioneers with only a tough matchup against Lady Sugarbeeters, rated 10th in the state on their home court. The Sugarbeeters came out playing at a very high level proving their spot in the state power polls. The Lady Pioneers gave them all they had but found themselves down by 18 points, with several of our girls in foul trouble at the half. The girls continued to play their hearts out in the second half and never...
