  • The Corner

    Erwin Curry|Updated Feb 24, 2022

    The Miles City tournament back then, We students looked forward to it, excite, It, a taste of adult’s freedom, of nights, Where we, as teenagers...no books...nor pens. We’d go to the games, to watch our own men, Playing against Sacred Heart, a tough fight, Or perhaps of ‘State School’, boys of plight, There’s a certain school pride to defend.

  • Cooking in the West

    Susan Metcalf|Updated Feb 17, 2022

    I just cannot resist helpful hints (now known as hacks) or tips on how to remove every stain known to man or cure anything from warts to arthritis with a home remedy. Sometimes though, I have to question the effectiveness and efficiency of the remedies and helpful hints. I have actually had less than miraculous results with many of those tips.
