Although the importance of Memorial Day should be honored and remembered, Lindsay Boyce wrote to me, saying, “We would like to notify people that the whole parade and program at the high school are canceled. The American Legion Post will still be doing a 21-gun salute and playing taps at the cemetery to honor those who have passed. However, due to phase 1 still being in affect, we can’t have an audience and therefore, will not be reading the names.” The American Legion Auxiliary will not be distributing the poppies either this year. The event...
I interviewed Brooke Schwenke on the internet, and she wrote her answers to my questions. I asked her about her drawing that she had received an award for. Brooke wrote, "I entered the American Auxiliary Poppy Poster contest my junior year, because my art teacher, Ms. Jaramillo, presented us with the amazing opportunity to get our work into the contest. She always offered us the best ways to get our artwork out there and was 100% supportive through it all and always making sure we didn't have...
Not your traditional graduation, but it made me cry just the same. It was a beautiful hot day, the weather held, and the sun shined right into parents’ faces. It started with the graduates walking from downtown to the football field. The streets were lined with residence cheering and throwing confetti. Girls on one side and boys on the other side as they walked, not in a single line but almost. Like they were tackling their future together. The names of each senior were read along with s...
The Master Gardener program provides research based information for gardeners. Below are a few notes taken from the turf management portion of the program. • Rough bluegrass is probably the best grass in Montana for shady areas. • Kentucky bluegrass is the best grass for open sunny areas with well-drained soil. • Annual ryegrass can be used as a cover crop following vegetable production. • The standard lawn mix is 60% Kentucky bluegrass, 30% creeping red fescue and 10% annual ryegrass. • Zoysiagrass does not grow well in Montana. Montana s...
I had to go. I knew it would be heart-warming to watch a parade that was formed just so people at the nursing home could get outside. It was a beautiful day; the sun was shining, and there wasn't any wind. They waited till the Sheriff's car came around the corner, followed by several people driving their cars by so they could wave and tell them hello! A motorcycle went by, an old blue pickup, a red corvette with my grandchildren in it, an old built car, I didn't know what make it was, there...

A couple of decades ago I graduated from high school and went off to college. I had a straight path in mind regarding what I was going to do with my life. I had intended on finishing a pre-seminary degree from a little private college I was attending. I would then attend seminary, which I had already picked out before arriving at college. At the end of my first semester, I found that the ancient language requirements to complete my degree were not going to be something I was going to manage (I squeaked through Biblical Greek with a very low...

What does it take to be a fine musician? Is it studying hard in the repertoire of music? Is it dedication to practice and the craft of music making? Is it focusing on solid comradery, in leading the effort to unify the ensemble, creating a stronger group harmony? For all musicians, each one of these factors matters immensely. Without one or the other, it can be hard for any musician to develop to the greatest potential possible. This year, I would like to recognize three seniors that through the...

That spirit can be defined many ways; good sportsmanship, positive attitudes, perseverance and grace under pressure. The award came to its inception through the joint efforts of head boys basketball coach Thomas Dilworth, school board trustee...
The country is taking steps to open our doors. I believe it is a good decision and necessary to help us get over the changes we have lived through. Change can be a good thing under the right circumstances, but experiencing so many changes in just a few months certainly creates questions for what the future will hold. We as a ranching/farming family have not noticed a great deal of change in our daily lives, mostly we question what our crops and livestock's value will be in the Fall. Today we...
