I read a story about CS Lewis years ago in which a friend asked him if attending church is a necessary part of following Jesus. In response, Lewis answered “No” and pulled a coal from the fire and placed it on the hearth. In response, he asked his friend to describe the coal on the hearth. The answer was the sort of thing you’d expect: hot, glowing, etc. The conversation continued before Lewis turned the conversation back to the burning coal and asked again for a description. This time, the answer was different: cold, dark, etc. As the coal...

Story submitted by, Mark Weber, Blaine County Health Department 420A Ohio,Chinook, MT 59523, 406-357-2345 As we continue with our series for National Preparedness Month, it’s time to start thinking about how to take care of ourselves in the event of emergencies.

Not knowing where those most important to you are or what condition they may be in can lead to unnecessary panic that is very avoidable. Just follow these three easy steps and tips. 1. COLLECT. Create a paper copy of the contact information for your family and other important people, offices or services. A paper plan can be completed online at: read...

National Preparedness Month, recognized each September, provides an opportunity to remind us that we all must prepare ourselves and our families now and throughout the year. This year, National Preparedness Month will focus on planning, with an overarching theme: Disasters Happen Prepare Now. Learn How.

Where did August go? Seems to me this month went way to fast.

The movies are every Wednesday at 1 in the library meeting room. The Ice Cream Social was fun and well attended. It i...
Although most hunters respect the land, property, and wildlife they are hunting, many others do not. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks would like to remind hunters and all outdoor enthusiasts to be good stewards of the land, and respect both private and public property. The FWP Region 6 Citizens Advisory Committee, recognizing that this is an ongoing issue, raised the need for more public outreach. Every hunting season, there are reports of vandalizing of Block Management Area (BMA) boxes,...
Friday we had our planned power outage and everything went off without a hitch. A huge thanks to the volunteers and staff for your patience and willingness to make a good day a great day in spite of no power.

This week we have had a problem with some power loss that caused the air conditioning, the convection oven, dishwasher and hot water heater to not work correctly. Finally, after Brett Zarn, Schine Electric and NorthWestern Energy co-examined the problem it was found that we will need to have meters replaced on the outside of the building. They have temporarily fixed the problems so everything is working as it should. The date for this is undetermined, but we will be open as usual as we will have our gas stove working and will serve up soup and...

One of my favorite quotes from the boxer Muhammad Ali is about training: “I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.’” I have a good friend who says it a bit differently: “Training is better than trying hard.” The idea behind this is simple: the key to becoming good at anything is training. Exerting effort every day over the course of months and years accumulates into excellence that cannot be matched by putting effort forward in the moment. When I worked with kids in...
