"A race on the place" is how Austin Genereux describes the Montana Cross Country Race that will be held on their ranch July 15 and 16.

This race on the Genereux place should be a dream come true for people watching the race as well. Spectators will be...
When I was a much younger man than I am now, I spent the time leading up to the Fourth of July figuring where to go for the Fourth to have the maximum amount of fun. Often I ended up on Clear Creek, Howard’s Hill, Beaver Creek or somewhere in the Bear Paw Mountains. When spending the time there, I dreamed of spending that holiday somewhere close to Glacier National Park. Well, that time finally came and we had a cabin at Lakeside on Flathead Lake. I dreamed often of spending the Fourth at that cabin and Christmas there as well. You know t...

Mulching is a must for lawn and garden landscapes during the hot summer The single most serious problem with ornamental plants in Northern Plains region is not a disease, insect or mite problem; it is environmental stress. Stress affects plant material in direct and indirect ways. It can cause damage directly and weaken the plants to the point where they are vulnerable to insect and disease attack. Stress is a problem in the Plains region because we, in our landscaping efforts, are attempting to grow “alien” species (non-native for the mos...

I suppose that by now most everyone has heard about our new congressman who body slammed a reporter and broke his glasses. I guess the new congressman was at the end of his tether. I have been there as well. Only thing is it happened when I was a child and acted like a child. You would never know now by looking at me but at one time I used to be fat. Matter of fact one day when I was about 10 and playing with my friends on Second Avenue there was one small bully who kept screaming at me all morning long, “Robby, Robby, fatty, fatty two by four....

The review...
Kudzu vines are a species of Japanese leafy vines that were imported to the United States in 1876 and planted throughout the southern states in an effort to stem soil erosion. They performed this job very well. The climate in the South is perfect for the plant and it quickly took hold and spread far and wide. Unfortunately, as good as the Kudzu vine is at preventing soil erosion, it is far more effective at wiping out every other species of plant it encounters. The vines grow quickly, climbing and covering everything they encounter....
