Gardening tips for the Winter Season January is a time to promote healthy trees and house plants. MSU Extension has a few important recommendations for the cold winter months. • Poinsettias do best when house temperatures are consistent and placed away from drafty doors. • Most house plants tolerate normal temperature fluctuations. In general, foliage house plants grow best between 70 and 80 degrees. Most flowering plants prefer the same daytime range, but grow best at nighttime temperatures of 55 to 60 degrees. Lower night temperatures int...
It was a very long day but full of excitement, except if you asked the kids sitting with their moms at the craft bazaar. They said they were bored. But let's start with Breakfast with Santa; what a wonderful place to start. Seeing so many seniors volunteering at the center and making it all come together was exciting. Two full tables of goodies for sale, and I loved the decorations! Santa praised the 6th-grade girls that helped him; Markell Houle, Abbey Sietsema, Laurie Silvan, and London...
Last weekend my children and I were blessed with the opportunity to participate in the Big Sandy Community Theater play: “It’s a Madhouse.” One of the coolest moments for me took place when my daughter came out in her lawyer outfit for the first time. She looked so very mature and grown up. As a dad, it was a moment of mixed feelings. I am always so proud of her as she grows up, but also kind of sad that her childhood years are rushing past so quickly. Then on opening night, near the end of the show, my little girl and I were standing on stage...

Even with two possible starters out, Lane Demontiney with a broken elbow, and Kody Strutz with a broken collar bone, both from playing football, it didn't stop the Pioneers from coming away with a win. (Ok, Kody came in for a short time at the end of the game). The Pioneers started in a man defense and got some nice buckets from Braydon Cline and Ryder Galbavy to start the game. Even though the Pioneers struggled to rebound in the 1st quarter, they had some great defensive blocks from Cooper...
The Lady Pioneers started the season off strong, with great plays coming from Jai Baumann, Eva Wagoner, and Eva Yeadon. The Big Sandy girls started in a full-court press and played fast-paced basketball. DGS also started in a press, which Big Sandy quickly broke down, but they struggled with some quick decisions that led to turnovers, in which DGS got an early lead on the Lady Pioneers. Angie Sant and Lainey Terry had some great moves to the basket and a couple of defensive stops, leading to an...
