Speaking from experience. This winter I fell hard on some ice and landed on my head. Embarrassed I crawled to the nearest bench. Amy Sibra saw me fall and came over to me and gently insisted I go to the doctor. I refused at first but she persisted and I realized she was probably right. I was quite dizzy and my hearing seemed altered. At the Big Sandy Clinic, I discovered because I fell so hard and that I was of a certain age, I had earned a trip to Northern Montana Hospital for a MRI. After...
Pioneer Spirit shows up! It was a fun week visiting kids who know what it means to have the Pioneer Spirit supporting them. Football victory brought out the best.

I remember when I was pregnant and we found out Parker was going to be a...
When asked why he does so many unique things, Bob Quinn laughed, and then said, "It's fun for me! It's my hobby. It's what I do for recreation. First, I try to have lots of ideas, in case some turn out." He laughs again. "In order to see if they'll turn out you've got to try them. So, I try as many as I am able." He walks to his dry land garden every day, sometimes more than once, "because it is part of his garden". He considers his whole farm his garden, and his research laboratory. He has...
Tree Q & A per the Chouteau County Extension Office • Why did two of my cottonwoods turn yellow in late July? According to Eva Grimme (MSU Plant Disease Diagnostician), symptoms are consistent with Marssonina leaf spot. Symptoms include dry, brownish lesions with yellowing borders. Margins are often irregular, indistinct, and not restricted by leaf veins. Infection is favored by wet weather, especially at the time when the leaves emerge from buds. Management includes pruning out, discarding, raking and destroying affected leaves. Water adequate...
After years of paperwork, meetings with accountants, and reviewing the bylaws of the organization, the Big Sandy Rotary Club recently received official notice from the IRS that they have been awarded a 501(c)3 exemption status. There are several advantages to the Big Sandy Rotary achieving 501(c)3 status. The biggest advantage is for donors to be able to make tax-deductible contributions. Having the 501(c)3 status also opens the doors to more grant opportunities as many public and federal grants are only available to IRS-recognized 501(c)3...

From the writings of the Rev. Billy Graham Q: As a student of archaeology, I am studying what is called the myth of the great flood. My professor says that anyone who truly believes this account fails to believe truth by evidence. What can I say to refute that? A:“Archaeology substantiates Noah’s Flood,” said the London Times in 1929. The article that followed gave an archaeologist’s view of the civilization that existed prior to the flood. The Bible also gives a vivid account of the corruption and the sin of that day. At least 2,000 years o...

Arthur died recently, but left no doubt about...
