They wanted every guest to get a warm welcome when they were visiting Big Sandy. They also wanted banners to say we are proud of our community and our...
It was a week for children. Traditionally the Big Sandy Carnival has been happening every year for at least 80 years. I talked to a woman in her 90's who remembers going when she was a child. It is the one event that allows the classes to do fund raisers to support their class. There were 18 events for little kids to participate in, and willing adults willing to play and laugh with their children. There was also a Country Store which was a silent auction, Baked goodies and coffee if all you...
Grade school concerts are one of the best concerts around. It's a wonderful place to enjoy the little things in life that make it worth living. If you had attended you might have noticed a little girl wearing a white airy summer dress with matching white high-top sneakers. She was the first to arrive and was at least 15 minutes early. I asked some of the kids if they liked their spring concert there were a chorus of "NO" and then a chorus of Yes. I laugh out loud. One said she would rather be...
I first met Robert Lucke when I was a Sophomore at Glasgow High School. He was my English teacher. I was a very shy girl.

I now know I had a learning disability, but back then I was just stupid. I couldn't spell at all and therefore couldn't read. I remember standing in front of the class trying to read and...
Soil Acidity is Causing Crop Failure in some Montana Fields: Is yours next? Farmers in several Montana counties are experiencing nearly complete yield loss in portions of their fields due to soil acidity (low pH). Standard top 6-inch soil pH testing may not definitively identify soil acidity problems. Most fields with low pH problem areas also have larger areas with higher pH that buffer the pH value when soil samples submitted to labs are mixed from 6-8 subsamples per field. Also, the lowest pH is generally in the top 2 to 3 inches, not the to...

I have been busy for the last few weeks. Between rushing around to deal with various obligations and efforts, I have hardly slowed down at all. When I have, I am finding myself tired, which prompts me to use my relaxation time for things like watching television or mindlessly surfing the internet. My energy to spend on reading or more edifying pursuits is limited. This morning, when I sat down to write this column, I discovered that my mind is blank. Coming up with ideas for topics is rarely difficult. Generally, they are birthed from my...
