It was a lovely evening and everyone who attended e...
Last weekend was the end of the regular season for the NFL. That means that all too soon football will be coming to a close. I admit, this year there was too much to do to watch many bowl games but if it ends up that it is Clemson vs. Alabama for the championship, you can guess that I will be watching that one and rooting for Clemson all the way! Meanwhile in the NFL, this last week has been plagued by bad decisions by coaches and one coach already has been fired even though at the time the season wasn’t over. I watched the game where the P...
These three deer were spotted on the edge of Chinook in the field behind the high school. They were part of a group that numbered 16. The others were headed toward town as they apparently had business to take care of....
Over the past few months we have shared many pictures of successful hunts throughout Blaine County by our local residents. We have had successful hunts of all kinds - deer, elk, and antelope. Hunters of all ages and everyone has a memory that will last forever. This year we had a number of first time hunters taking part in a new Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks program that allows young hunters to enjoy the season with an accompanying adult. We've had a few husband and wife hunts that ended...
It is the end of another year and, as usual, I am glad and sad both. I am glad that I made it through and it looks like I am going to see 2016. I am sad because it was a year that could have been so much better. Hindsight is always great and I learned a lot about having prostate cancer this year. More than I had learned in the twelve years I have had it. I went into the taking of chemo therapy as just another simple treatment. I soon learned that it is anything but simple. Five percent of people who take chemo for prostate cancer, get symptoms...
The year might be changing but 1907 has been sort of good for us so we are going to stay with it for a little time in 2016 Let’s get to it and see what this week brings us... The new lunchroom at the depot is open and being run by Mayor Newman. In addition to the counter, there is a very neat small dining room for ladies. The waitresses are dressed in black with white collars and cuffs. Mrs. O’Leary, the famous chef, has charge of the kitchen with a good corps of assistance, and the place promises to be well patronized. Editor’s note... When...

It is that magical time once again. For 74 years I have been experiencing it. Can’t explain it yet but I really do love it in spite of things going really wrong with the season every so often. A case in point is that one Christmas I heard of a woman who put a tiny manger scene on her stove so that when she was cooking, she would remember the reason for the season. I thought that was a wonderful idea. I bought two, one for a cabin and one for the house. I put them up on the stove for years and even looked at them and remembered. Then Mother a...
My most memorable Christmas was with somebody who isn’t here today. Spending time with my Grandpa was always special but holidays meant something more to me even at a young age. The first year he wasn’t there was different. I kept expecting to see him but that wasn’t going to happen. Every year I wish things could be different so I could have just one more day with him. Sadly it doesn’t work like that and we need to make the best of what we have. Some people don’t get a lot of joy and it’s a struggle for them just to function in public. Thi...

Lyndsay Hutton is home for Christmas break. The Steve Hickel family went to Choteau for an early Christmas celebration with Colleen’s family. The School Christmas program was a huge success!

The Harlem Civic Association's eleventh Country Christmas celebration was well attended last Wednesday evening. Strollers enjoyed a mild, but at times windy, evening for the annual event. City workers had hung electric decorations along the main street and volunteer groups decorated each light pole to their chosen theme. The town looked festive. In the library lobby, Civic Association chairman Brad Becker, and association member Jim Nissen, were cooking popcorn and handing out bags to strollers....
Finding the perfect live Christmas tree can be a stressor each holiday season. With 25-30 million live trees for sale in the United States annually, there are a lot of choices. Then there are considerations of the type of tree needed, size of the room where the tree will be displayed, shape to fit in the usable space and even what variety of tree for the natural aroma desired. It's a lot of choices. It gets even more complicated when the tree is for a church and ultimately everyone gets to be a...
Pre-holiday events are beginning to wind down in Chinook.

The final week of community events in Chinook was busy as the countdown to Christmas began. Sweet Memorial Nursing Home Bazaar Sweet Home hosted its 13th annual bazaar last Saturday. The...
The Friends of the Harlem Library group hosted a wine and cheese festival last week. Actually, it was more than just wine and cheese with two "groaning" tables of holiday goodies and treats to go along with multiple opportunities to taste, and bid on, some interesting wines. The wines were donated by Sagebrush Flats Winery and the goodies were courtesy of Friends members. It was a fun evening, but there was a serious purpose. Nellie Obrecht, a co-chair of the Friends, explained the Friends...
