  • MES Kindergarten Christmas Program was a True Delight

    Kari Hould, PCN Staff|Dec 28, 2022

    With the help of three teachers, music teacher Hannah Lane, and accompanied on the guitar by Eric Engebretson, a whole passel of kindergartners managed to entertain four generations on Wednesday at their Christmas Concert. The adults managed to serve as “electricians” and “ground” the energy and zest of the brightly and festively dressed young ones to delight beyond measure! The teachers, Mrs. April Ost, Mrs. Janine Tuss, and Mrs. Whittney Olson, watched and listened as the vocal chords resound...

  • "Harmful Trends" Speaks To Teens

    Kari Hould, PCN Staff|Dec 28, 2022

    Chances are if you don't have a teenager, you may be one, or know one. In today's world, full of choices and decisions, making a wise and smart choice might be difficult. Gone are the days of "Leave It to Beaver" and "My Three Sons". Also, gone are the days of "Opie" with "Aunt Bea" keeping a watchful eye on you in those rough and formative teen years. Nothing hurts worse than the reality that our children can be a challenge at times, and sometimes...a pain in the patootsie. How we react during...

  • Never Too Young

    Dec 28, 2022

    While doing research at the library last week, I had the privilege to meet two young (and aspiring) individuals that were proof that there are still those who believe in a few things, one of those being patriotism. With their library aide, Sarah Osmundson, young Lincoln Bibbs and Andi French proudly recited the Pledge of Allegiance before their weekly lesson at "Story Time". If only their enthusiasm and energy could be encapsulated and shared! Nice work, keep it up! All three of you are an...

  • The First "Real" Montana Winter in a While

    Parker Heinlein, Outdoors Columnist|Dec 28, 2022

    I experienced a disturbing moment during the recent cold spell. While outside shoveling the sidewalk a few days ago in -27 degree weather, I realized that I was quite comfortable. I wasn’t too cold or too hot. My hands weren’t aching. My face wasn’t even covered. Perhaps I’ve lived here too long. Of course I was shoveling out of the wind, which a couple of days earlier had cooled things to a relatively chilly -72, but it was straight up -27 nonetheless. Winter seldom loses focus up here, a...

  • New Year - New Beginnings

    Kari Hould, Karis Quiet Corner|Dec 28, 2022

    Here it is. 2022 is about to tie up any loose ends and call it a wrap. There are those among us who are wondering what happened to 2022, oh where did it go? Yet there are as many contemplating…can this year just move on and start a new year fresh? As you snuggle next to your fireplace or crawl under those electric blankets attempting to ignore the blasted cold out, it is still a good time to think about the new year and new beginnings. WELCOME 2023! Well, perhaps in a few days, with the exception of some distant readers who will get this g...

    Happy new year to all my readers! An Irish blessing says: May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back.

    Kari Hould, PCN Staff|Dec 28, 2022

    Snowball 2022 is but a memory tucked next to tired boutonnieres and corsages, and what a memory it was. The evening was Friday, December 23, and the "Grand March" was held at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium. Students from Malta and their dates or friends from neighboring towns, and home-schooled students showed up in numbers with sparkle and dazzle.
