Why are you running for Commissioner? Beau Pegar answered, "I guess I would like to see some changes, mostly with our road.

Erica Chauvet DMV, Big Sandy's veterinarian, has a new clinic. This building was an old house on the Chauvet's ranch. The new clinic is located at the first tan house on the left, but Erica told me, "we built an apartment on one half and a new clinic in the other half." She is asking clients to use the deck entrance because the back half is a private entrance. "It's nice to have a bright, fresh, clean space." She now has a designated exam area, surgery space, lab, kennel area, pharmacy, office,...

Clostridial organisms are generally found in the animal’s body, but with ideal conditions, grow very rapidly to cause a disease state. B...
GREAT FALLS — All good things must come to an end. And make no mistake. Big Sandy had a good run in postseason boys basketball. Great even. Yet it ended March 3 in Great Falls against the Belt Huskies, who by virtue of a 58-39 win in the Northern C divisional tournament’s final game, snagged the last ticket to state in Missoula. The Pioneers finished the season with a 16-11 record and hoisted hardware for their third-place finish. “There are only 12 teams taking home a trophy out of the (81) teams in the (Class) C … and we’re one of them,” Bi...

I attended college in South Chicago while in my early 20s. Chicago was a fun place for a young, irresponsible kid to explore and enjoy. I took full advantage of this truth, taking the train to the city at every opportunity. In my often aimless wanderings, I often lost track of where I was and found myself lost. This was a problem until I learned a simple trick for navigating the sprawling streets of the Chicagoland area. In the middle of the downtown area, there was a landmark that was easily visible for miles around: The Sears Tower (though...

Many folks are stepping up to help us do jobs and we sure appreciate that. The book is in the printing process and seems to be coming along smoothly. We even got a sneak peak as to what the logo will look like on the cover. Many local businesses purchased ads to help with the book cost and many have also pitched in cash donations for things that the registration cost doesn’t cover like the street band, par...
