After much needed moisture, the Big Flat received a bit in the form of wet snow this past week. As of this Sunday, another spring storm came through dropping a bit more. One would say April showers make good grain, but most farmers and ranchers in the area are saying, "We'll take whatever we can get, in whatever form we can get!" At school, the younger kiddos were happy to have one last fling with the snow, and make some snowmen and run and play in it. They will be happy to get back to school...

Although Gracie Warburton won't graduate from Chinook High School until 2022, she has launched her own photography business, Big Sky Photography Studios. She was motivated to turn what started as a hobby into a business because she wishes to make a better life for herself and doesn't want to be "stuck" doing something in her life that doesn't bring her satisfaction. Warburton began taking pictures while she was in the fifth grade after she received her first phone as a Christmas gift from her...

April is always a fast-paced month at the legislature, and this year is no different. The Senate has been busy voting on a lot of bills that covered a wide variety of topics. I am confident that the bills we passed will improve lives of Montana’s in many ways, however nothing is perfect. This past week the Senate passed two critical appropriations bills that will help our state move past the pandemic and sustain prosperity for decades to come. As we decided what to do with the federal stimulus money, Republican leaders in Helena, unlike W...

Well the weather sure turned on us again. Snow, sleet, rain… it just can’t seem to decide what it wants to do. We need the moisture desperately if we are going to get through this year without fires popping up all over the state, but I wish it would just pick one and not give us all three. Virginia Olson got 400 in Jacks while playing pinochle here on Tuesday. Way to go Virginia. Irene Gauthier won the Blackout in Bingo on Thursday. Good job Irene. We have music on Fridays from 10 a.m. till noon; it’s good to hear them play for us again. Pleas...

With snow falling earlier this week and temperatures not exactly ideal for spring sports it's hard to believe that the post season for High School Track and Field is just two weeks away. As such the four local teams will be working hard to prepare in just a short amount of time.

WALKING DOWN MEDIEVAL TIMES... The fifth and sixth grade students of Mrs. Elissa Zellmer recently studied Medieval History and as a fun hands on project, the students were asked to construct a castle from that era. The entire school was fascinated by the quality and the thought process that went into each project. The castles were on display in the school cafeteria a short time ago. Mrs. Zellmer concluded, "The students worked very hard to add details to their projects. Each one was unique and...
