My Grandfather Stuart featured himself as quite the weather man. He spent his life talking to his friends about what was going to happen in the South Mountain View Community of Havre, Montana regarding weather. The problem is that he was usually wrong. However one time he did correctly predict a terrible blizzard. From that day on he was known as Blizzard Stuart. The only weather tidbit I ever got from my father was that he said when there are sun dogs around the sun, it was going to be very...

One thing we at the "Mountaineer" have always marveled about is that if we ask about a story of most any kind from the Big Sandy School System we have it sooner rather than later, And we get it in spades! The school gives us lots of computer stories and staff gives us lot of great hunting stories but none measure up with Letters from Santa from the Elementary School and the Christmas stories that came from the sixth grade and Mrs. Fasteson. All were wonderful and we are so honored to be able to...

The complete article with tables is located on the MSU Extension website under forage and hay.

This morning, I read an article on the most returned or regifted Christmas gifts every holiday season. According to the article, clothing is the most returned Christmas gift, usually because of issues with the article not being liked, not being needed, or not fitting correctly. In the arena of gifts that are given away again as gifts to others, the list is a little more expansive. It included candles, gift cards, picture frames, perfume, cookbooks, and fruitcakes. The reason I researched the idea of regifting is because I often find myself...
The Pioneers face some talented competition over the weekend as District 9C conference play got underway. Friday they welcomed the Fort Benton Longhorns to town and Saturday hosted the Chinook Sugarbeeters. On the girls side it was a challenging weekend facing to of the top teams in the conference right out of the gate. The Longhorns opened a six point lead 17-11 to start the contest as Big Sandy matched the intensity early. A 24-4 run in the second quarter separated the teams by halftime but...
