Blaine County was drenched by a welcome June shower that saw rain fall steadily for more than two day this past week. The weather station at the Harlem airport, one of the few official stations in the county, was working overtime last week. Reports from accross the region vary, with most reporting from 2.5" - 3.5". Weather, as we know it, is fickle this time of year. This welcomed moisture is hopefully the first of many perfectly timed storms that will be mixed in with just enough sunshine to...
BOZEMAN, MONTANA | June 17, 2019 – This spring, the Montana FFA Foundation was able to award over $70,000 in scholarships and grants to FFA members and local FFA chapters throughout the state; this would not be possible without our generous donors and supporters.

Twenty five years ago in July, Kelcey and Nancy Diemert moved to Chinook, just in time to share in the All-Class Reunion and its festivities. As the community's new Registered Pharmacists who had recently graduated from the University of Montana's Pharmacy School in 1993, the couple was struck by how welcoming and supportive people were. After having spent a year in Seattle, the Diemerts were ready to put down roots and set up shop in a small town. "Chinook is like one big family, and this has b...
By Steve Edwards BCJ News Columnist's comment: Before we moved to the Sweet Grass Hills several people told me, "Be sure and visit that park in southern Alberta. I think it's near Whitlash" There'd be some finger-snapping as they tried to recall the park's name, then, "It's something about 'words on rocks' and it's really fascinating." Turns out they were talking about Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park, less than an hour's drive from Whitlash. With summer now on us, my wife and I decided to spend...
It’s the final week for Men’s Health Month! Though we are sad to see the month close, I’d like to end it with a very powerful topic of discussion and an imperative key to men’s health. This week’s topic is Mental Health. The statistics behind men’s mental health is staggering and shows how little discussions are being had to ensure that men’s mental health needs are being addressed. There are over 6 million men who suffer from depression; however, it is often undiagnosed as they present with fatigue, irritability or loss of interest in h...

These scholarships are awarded to those individuals interested in pursuing a field involving some type of outdoor “wildlife” degree. Recipients are selected from schools starting at Chester and running to Malta. Also, south to Big Sandy, inclu...

Good morning friends and followers of the Lord Jesus. I trust this day finds you rested and in full devotion and love to our Lord and Savior. A few weeks ago, we had a post about searching the Scriptures, which was quite profound. It talked about the careful study of Scripture or searching as in seeking a treasure. The greatest treasure we can find is the Lord Jesus. I recently came across a study of the Cities of Refuge that Moses appointed for the children of Israel when they established themselves in the land of Canaan after they left...

The Blaine County Fair is something everyone looks forward to each summer. The dates of the fair change from year to year, but the excitment of going remains the same. In the 80's the fair took place at the end of August, and provided a great reprieve from the hassles of the first days of school. From that point on the fair has been moved up a little bit every few years. This year the Blaine County Fair takes place over the Fourth of July weekend and will also coinside with the Chinook High Scho...
