2-12. Greetings to all my readers! And a happy birthday month to Mark, our editor! The Loring Lutherans held their annual meeting on the 9th of February with a delicious meal after church and the meeting. I see it has snowed again. This heavy snow coming after the warm up is not good! The snow just keeps piling up and keeping our footing on an even keel is not easy! Right now I'm in Florida, right in the middle of the state. Last night at Kennedy Space Center a rocket was launched and we could...
Beware, everyone, of the terrible Corona Virus! Although it started in China, the germs spread all over the world! Now there is a patient in Bozeman, Mont., who they suspect has the virus!

Here in Whitewater, we heard that Mark Lageson went to Boston, Mass., to visit family. Carrie and Jesse Simonson took their c...
For decades Montana has been the envy of hunters who pursue elk. Our state has healthy elk herds because of our incredible habitat on public and private lands. We enjoy the longest season in the West – with a six week archery season and a five week rifle season. No other state comes even close. With our strong elk herds comes challenges in their management. Landowners at times struggle with the damage that large groups of elk can cause to crops, haystacks and fences. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks is faced with a constant balancing act – hun...
Oh, how I long for summer. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I don’t like winter. I just hate getting dressed for it. It’s so much work. While covering the offending parts is all that’s necessary from June through August, getting dressed in February requires much more thought. Is it cold enough today for long johns? Can I get by with gloves or do I need mittens? Is this a face-mask day? And the big question: do I really need to go outside? When I was younger and lived in Cooke City where win...
Well, that was different. I have been at the All State wrestling tournament for six of the past season years and this one felt a little different. Most of this is pertaining to food. The first difference from this year to last is that I went rogue on my diet. I followed a strict ketogenic diet last year at state. This year, I lasted until noon before I decided that I would simplify things by eating whatever I wanted within reason. I may or may not have eaten a brisket sandwich, chili, a 2-inch...

After another week of warmer, then colder weather, making it melt and then turn to solid ice so it is hard to walk, it has again turned slightly colder and is threatening some snow again in the next few days. It was so nice to have the few days so warm and not too much wind. Terri Cole is improving from her slip on the ice and hitting her head so hard. She had to pay another visit to the doctor for bad head-aches from the fall. Polly Solberg has been in Malta a couple days this week helping with caring for Eva Bruckner while Orvin and Thea are...

Last week I got to watch workers us a crane and truck put the house being worked on near the Phillips County Courthouse put back on its foundation. While I was watching, I noticed that they used metal ropes to help guide the house and there were metal bars beneath as well. One reason they are putting a basement in the house is to expand the space for furniture and the like. There is still some stuff out at the temporary MOI building on Highway 2, but for the most part we are moved back into the...
