  • Cooking in the West

    Susan Metcalf|Updated Feb 15, 2024

    The best part about winter used to be skiing, ice skating, and ice fishing. However, as I have grown older, it has become harder and harder to find a winter sport that I can participate in, because I don’t dare risk my knees, my hips, my skull, etc. So when our friends, Keith and Holly Williams from Virginia, suggested a snowmobile outing, it sounded fun and harmless. We met them in Jackson, Wyoming and headed out for a three day ride through Yellowstone Park, and then one final day in the Grand Tetons along the C...

    Karen Odell|Updated Feb 15, 2024

    February 12, 2024 The Capitol News may be limited this week. Super Bowl Sunday is not the best time to gather news. It may not be the game that keeps people busy, but the tail-gate parties are especially interesting. Dick and Erma Albert made a trip to town, on Tuesday, where Dick got a haircut. They also did some shopping. Their week was filled with usual activities. They went to the Senior Center for the Friday dinner, and Erma stayed to play cards for a while. Then, she stopped by at Delores Sperle’s for a short visit. Dic...

  • Conversations with God

    Updated Feb 15, 2024

    Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, sometimes, friends share interesting things; THIS for Valentines Day! Just quoting: “You should probably tape this to your bathroom mirror where one could read it every day. You may not realize it, but it’s 100% true. 1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for. 2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way. 3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you. 4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, eve...

    Arren Kimbel-Sannit, montanafreepress.org|Updated Feb 15, 2024

    Montana Congressman Matt Rosendale, who just last week announced a highly anticipated run for U.S. Senate, is dropping his campaign after former President Donald Trump — the ultimate kingmaker in modern GOP politics — endorsed his primary opponent Tim Sheehy last Friday, shortly after Rosendale’s announcement. “I have long been a supporter of the President, and remain so. But I have been forced to calculate what my chances of success would be with Trump supporting my opponent,” Rosendale said in a statement relayed by his ca...

  • Join Dahl Memorial in 'Drive to Thrive'

    Updated Feb 15, 2024

    Dahl Memorial staff recently installed a race track down the main hallway as part of what they have aptly named “Drive to Thrive.” Thrive refers to a new electronic medical records system that Dahl Memorial Healthcare is currently in the process of switching to — and drive refers to cars that each department has created to “race” down the track in the hallway towards completion of the changeover. In other words, Dahl’s “Drive to Thrive” is a means of making a lengthy and complicated computer conversion a little more fun. Now,...
