Alert "Journal" reader Shirley Gardipee, who lives in Shelby, read the recent "Journal" (August 5, 2020) story about the unknown artist of the 40-foot long western mural in the old Kuhr Clothing Store in Chinook. She called Daniel Dahl, the new owner of the building and told him, "I know who painted that mural. It was my father-in-law Martin Gardipee, Sr." Daniel shared the message with me. I talked a bit by phone with Shirley, then made a road trip to learn about her father-in-law. Shirley's...

Mud flew, engines roared, metal crunched, and fuel exhaust wafted around the arena at the Phillips County Fairgrounds in Dodson on Saturday night, August 1, as twenty drivers fought for bragging rights and a piece of the $8,500 purse payout. When the mayhem ceased and the decibels dropped in the stadium, seven individuals emerged as winners in the Crash for Cash 2020 Demolition Derby.

The dog days of summer as July and August are often referred to, are known for warm, some would say hot temperatures and often times a front will move in causing a rapid temperature drop. This produces some pretty electric thunderstorms. July and August thunderstorms raise the fire danger levels. Monday's storm produced significant moisture but that didn't stop it from causing a handful of small fire in the county. A Noon Thunderstorm came out of the west Monday, bringing with it a very dynamic...

Hogs bogged down in a trough. Cattle trailed off. Chickens flew up to roost at new heights. Eggs cracked up, but then slipped off. Milk was fluid, cheese was firm, and butter churned up and down. Hay rolled up, and then soured in a storm. Corn popped early but flaked off through the week. Cotton was soft all week. Peanuts came out of their shell last week and were boiling this week. Beans went down easy, but then rattled through the end. Helium was up, feathers were down. Paper was stationary. Fluorescent bulbs dimmed with light trading....
