Amber Whiteclay’s 6th Grade Class Khailie Hill “Hi,my name is Khailie Hill and my New Year’s resolutions are to get good grades, get better at basketball, and get taller.

1. Give one compliment a day. You never know—it just might make that person feel a whole lot better. 2 Read a book a month. Haven’t you heard? Reading is good for your brain, it can reduce stress, and it can improve your memory and concentration. 3. Go someplace you’ve never been. Step outside of your comfort zone and do something daring. It’s good for the soul and forces you to learn new things. 4. Turn off your phone one night a week. You’re sleeping anyway. You don’t need it! 5. Travel on a small budget. “Traveling on a budget is all about...

Hello From the Chinook Social Senior Center!! We have had an amazing week, filled with so many fabulous people, in this community! We had our Memorial tree lighting on Friday, Dec. 8th. It was attended by many who hung a Cardinal or a Candle in memory of someone that has reached Jesus, before us.

She laughed. I was SERIOUS. We also had our first, annual Fun...
When Dan Davies was growing up on a ranch south of Chinook, branding, stacking hay and three-day cattle drives were as much a part of his life as his three brothers, 25-mile trips to town and the occasional warm winter winds that gave Chinook its name. Butch Damberger, on the other hand, grew up 150 miles west in Cut Bank. The only boy in a family of three sisters, he lived in town where he was more likely to tackle buddies in a backyard than livestock in a corral. So how did these two become...
