Whitewater News & Opinion for February 17, 2021

Let’s pray for our government and new President Joe Biden.

Greetings, from the North Pole! It is 20 below zero according to “Whitewater Weather Bureau.” The snow will stay awhile, which the high wind will blow into drifts. It’s a Montana winter.

Our Whitewater “Penguins” and North Country “Mavericks” don’t mind the weather, they keep warm playing basketball. The girls are number one rating! Good luck to all teams.

In spite of precautions, we are all still concerned about C-19. Mainly, wear masks and social distance, etc.

“Happy Birthday” to all those celebrating birthdays or anniversary’s in Feb. Happy Valentine’s Day to all.

Here’s my favorite Valentine’s Day story: When I was growing up on a ranch, we had red and white Hereford Cattle. Our pet calf was born on Valentine’s Day! She was red with a white heart shape on her red face. Really!

February is for celebrating Presidents Day and Martin Luther King Day. Also most federal offices and post offices are closed those days.

Jeanie Green has two pairs of twin lambs! Fun!
