It certainly won't be the same at the Senior Citizen's Center after October 31 as that will be the last day that Linda Rutledge will be in charge of the center. Karma Hale will be taking Linda's place on November 1. Linda is a long term cook at the Senior Center. She started cooking for the Center in 2004. Before that she cooked for the hospital. She has always liked to cook as do her sisters and mother. There is no doubt of Linda's favorite food. It is also the favorite food of her children...
Believe it or not this is going to turn into a ghost story but first lots and lots of background. Long have I been interested in the exploits of Kid Curry (Harvey Logan) and his brothers in the Little Rockies. No part of the story is more interesting than the story about the death of Jim Winters and his partner Abraham Gill after taking over a ranch that the Logan Brothers thought belonged to them. I first got wind of this story in a small book written about the Little Rockies by Gladys Costello. Called “The Golden Era of the Little R...
Calista Worrall is heading up the Big Sandy fifth Grade of some 13 students this year. This is her first year in Big Sandy although she has taught in Fort Benton and Box Elder. Calista is from Missouri and got her training from Missouri Southern State College in Elementary Education. It was there she met her husband who is from Loma, so it was off to Montana and off to a new life. Before teaching this year at Big Sandy, Calista taught for four years in Box Elder and was an RTI aide in Fort...
If you have written history as long as I have, you would find it very interesting, like I do, that events change on whims from who knows where. Little tiny and seemingly events of no consequence cause major events to happen years later. This is a story of just how that happened in Montana maybe a dozen years ago. But the story would not have happened at all if World War 2 had not happened. Or if Grandpa Lucke’s favorite magazine wasn’t “Field and Stream” or if Bee Lucke hadn’t introduce...
If you believe in ghosts, you probably believe there are many different kinds of ghosts. When I was a boy and we were using the old log Johnson House as a fishing cabin, we knew that we had a ghost around the house that protected us when we needed protecting. The Johnson House was a wonderful, large four bedroom log building that was built on two cliffs of Clear Creek. I don’t know if it started out being built on two cliffs. I can’t imagine so but by the time we stayed there one fifty foot cliff had Clear Creek cutting into it every day. The...
The Pioneers headed to Augusta on Wednesday to take on the Augusta Elks. The Pioneers won 66-32 with four different Pioneers finding the end zone. Laurence and Weston Allderdice both rushed for three touchdowns. Ryan Roth scored on a 77 yard kick return late in the game. A sign of great things to come in the future. Elijah Wagoner also found the end zone on a 10 yard pass from Brock. Laurence again hauled in two passes from Brock for touchdowns. Big Sandy dominated the first quarter posting...
The Ladies hosted their parents and handed out flowers for parents night Tuesday against Centerville. Unfortunately the ladies were not able to bring home the win. Ending the season with a loss didn’t stop them from still enjoying the game. The score for the three sets were 18-25 16-25 7-25. The ladies will travel to Chinook on Thursday morning to play the first match in the District 6C East tournament. They will play Box Elder at 10 a.m.. They have both lost and won against Box Elder, so there is a good chance of advancing to the second r...
Mayor Stiles had the following comment about the joint School Board and City pool meeting this month. “I hope no one is going to want this to happen quickly. It is pretty detailed but it is working well.” The Mayor went on to say that co-chairs were elected. They were Diana LaBuda and Shaud Schwarzbach. Contact them if you have questions or comments about the new pool. The next joint meeting will be November 10, 2016. The last regular Council Meeting was held October 12, 2016. There was one visitor. After the pledge was recited and the min...
October 12 we had another successful blood drawing, thank you to all the generous donors. We also had a couple of firsts. First time doors were Jessica Roth, Nicholas Diacon, Kurtis Strutz, Caitlin Bailey, and Matthew Louvar. Thank you and we hope you continue to be donors. Robin Pearson received his 6 gallon pin and Bob Nelson received his 8 gallon pin. The Methodist Ladies served a delicious lunch and helped throughout the drawing. Thank you so much! This was the first time we have ever had to turn anyone away due to lack of equipment....
