Nearly 90 members attended the Dahl Memorial Healthcare Annual Member Meeting last Thursday at Carter County Events Center. Only forty-five members attended last year. At the start of the meeting CEO Nadine Elmore took a few minutes to explain to members that she has accepted another position and will be stepping down as CEO at Dahl Memorial. Elmore held the CEO position at Dahl longer than anyone else in the facility's history. She then went on to discuss several of the association's events...

Prussic acid poisoning can be a lethal problem for cattle grazing sorghum, sorghum-sundangrass crosses and sundangrasses. Other plants that potentially contain prussic acid include white clover, vetch seed and chokecherry. Prussic acid, also called hydrocyanic (HCN), is typically not present in plants. However, some common plants can accumulate large quantities of cyanogenic glycoside. When plants are actively growing, prussic acid levels are low because the compound breaks down over time....
Belltower is a white outcropping of rock in southeastern Carter County Montana. The formation used to look like a bell tower, but because of many years of erosion, it has worn down to almost a pointed rock. When my grandparents homesteaded near this landmark in June of 1910, it was visible for many miles in all directions. Many homesteaders chose a location near Belltower so they could "find their way home." Many of these homesteaders were Catholic Luxembourg immigrants. At that time, there was no church in the area. My grandparents, Peter and...
Olga Marie Loken Freed, 99, died peacefully at home on Sunday, September 17, 2017 after a long and productive life.

She graduated from Carter County High School in Ekalaka, MT in 1935. She then attended and graduated from Holy Rosary nursing school in Miles City, MT receiving a Registered Nurse degree in 1938. She was the third airline...
The first day of our Canning Season was September 1, 2017. The head cook (and only cook) began boiling seven quart jars in the large water bath. He cut generously donated cucumbers into long spears, and little rings. We have our own dill, so you probably guessed the kind of pickles he made. I love dill spears; they “crunch” when you bite them. The dill in our garden is a volunteer from a crop we planted years ago. They are a weed if they grow where you don’t want them, and Brice pulls them out and pitches them in the pile of brush he takes...

Hello, I know we have all been concerned with the fires that roared across Montana and other western states. I had the opportunity to witness some of the devastation first hand on Friday. On Friday morning, in a nice rain, I drove down to Bowman and met a friend to go to a horse sale in Great Falls. It was raining nice at home. And from here to Bowman and then northwest to Great Falls, we never shut the wipers off! 525 miles with the wipers on in western North Dakota and eastern Montana. That may happen only once in a lifetime. When I was...

CCHS Football continued their schedule of tough conference opponents on Saturday night at home when they took on the Terriers. Terry is undefeated on the season and ranked as a top ten Montana six-man team. It was a perfect night for football as cooler temperatures and a lot of rain throughout the week made it finally feel like fall at Rowley Field. The Bulldogs played tough defense throughout the contest, holding Terry to only 25 points. Most of Terry’s touchdowns came on long pass plays where the Bulldogs were in good coverage, but just d...
