The photos ranged from wedding pictures to scenes with farm equipment and opening presents on Christmas with the children. The photos were like a...

I always like to start a new year with a recipe that has fewer calories. I have done one of my favorite shrimp cocktails many times before but it never fails to taste great on a cold January night. Cook your own shrimp. Get some that are called U 16 to 20, thaw them out, take the shells off and as you are deveining the shrimp, cut down and split the middle section to the tail. When you cook them they will puff up and appear much larger than they are. Do not overcook but do not undercook as well. There is nothing worse than undercooked shrimp. A...

It is a new year but we are going to stay with 1909 for a while yet as it is just getting interesting. Lots going on. Let’s start with the Dodson Dam. A well known resident of Valley County who was in the city yesterday is authority for the information that the Dodson Dam is three quarters completed and that if the weather continues favorable the crest should be affixed by March 1. Construction work is being trusted to the utmost, three gangs of men being worked in eight hour shifts, says the Great Falls Tribune. The dam will be the cheapest o...

It is playoff season in the NFL. But first, it is national championship time in college football. It took many years but finally instead of a bunch of disjointed bowl games there are now a bunch of disjointed bowl games and a couple of national championship games. I have not been the slightest bit interested in those games because one can come to only one conclusion. No matter who plays whom, it is going to be Alabama who comes out on top. Now it won’t always be that way and I imagine that those games will be a lot more fun to watch and m...
