David Veseth is a man of many hobbies. Give him a number, 1 through 56, and he can tell you which county in Montana the number represents on license plates. Give him a cool, dry morning and he will spend it biking from his home on Central Ave to the City Landfill and back. One of the hobbies David has added to his repertoire of late is that of collecting recipes. From 4B’s Classic Tomato Soup to Egg Nog Pie and from Skittle-Marshmallow Yams to Play Dough, David has spent time over the last s...

She began violin lessons at the age of eleven and began playing the trombone at age fourteen, both of which she played throughout high school at Saco High School where she graduated in 1937. Jane pursued her passion for teaching and music after she...
I had it all figured out. We’d get a new puppy every four years. That way as one dog neared the end of the trail another would be reaching its prime and a puppy would bring up the rear. But Barb and I didn’t want four dogs. That would be too many. On occasion, we even talked in hushed tones about how easy life would be with only a couple of dogs or even one. My plan was based on the 12-year life expectancy of springer spaniels. Then Spot refused to die and Barb became impatient. Not at the old d...
Dear editor, Seeing chickens on the front page of the PCN truly made me sit up and take notice! Chickens have played a big part in my life, both in the little city of Malta and also on our farm/ranch north of Saco. Let’s go back in time, to the Depression year, 1937. My widowed mother ordered baby chicks enabling our family of four children to shortly have fresh eggs and often fried chicken. This was in city limits of Malta. My brothers put up a high fence for a practical enclosure. Naturally, there was a coop, with needed nests. Next door t...

Man is it tough to be a Bears fan. For those that missed it, in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft, the Bears originally had the third pick of the draft. With so much talent of defense and our lack of forced turnovers last season, I and many other Bears fans expected our GM to draft the draft’s top safety or cornerback. While watching the draft, I waited patiently expecting the 49ers to draft Stanford’s Solomon Thomas with the second overall pick. Then it happened. The Bears traded from the...

When Montana's 2017 Legislature adjourned on April 28, Sen. Duane Ankney, R-Colstrip, ended almost right where he began. At the session's beginning, he helped draw up several bills that would help his community, which is facing the impending closure of two out of four units at its massive coal-fired electrical plant. By the time lawmakers left the Capitol, many of the bills – aimed at easing impacts on jobs, tax revenues and real estate – were dead. “The Legislature had opportunities to intervene in this policy conversation and they chose not t...

If you haven’t taken the time to get out for a drive around the countryside it would be a good time to do so, all the hills are green and blooming with wildflowers! I’m sitting in my classroom listening to my eggs cheeping.... Yes, I said eggs, they are not hatching yet, but should be by tomorrow and the little chicks inside are visiting already! Only two more weeks until our school is out for the sum...
