The Bulldogs headed into the Southern C Divisional as a three seed after an exciting consolation win over Broadus at districts. In their tourney opener they played Park City. Blue was down only 5 at the half, but couldn't keep pace after that. It was a close game until late when the Dogs were forced to foul. Park City eventually won by 16. The Dogs shot 1-15 from three-point land, 15-52 (29 percent) on field goals and 8-20 on free throws. They committed 17 turnovers compared...
Hello, Remember the controversy just before Christmas? About a song. The song “Baby It’s Cold Outside”. People were complaining it was sexist. I didn’t care. It is my favorite Christmas song. Although you don’t hear a lot of it in church or when people are out caroling. Or maybe I’ve just missed it. Anyway, baby it’s cold outside. And it looks like it is going to stay cold well into calving season. You would think after seventy years, I would have learned to calve later. I’ve told you about my fencing ability. You ju...
Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, many towns have a center where kids of all ages can go after school to do a multitude of activities, including homework. They’re there until someone picks them up to go home. While at these centers, paid staff and volunteers get to interact with kids in a 1/2 dozen or so places where they can play, work on computers, do arts and crafts, sit and read, or do homework. Interest and attention span is different for each child. Little ‘Chloe’s’ eyes sparkle as she does her math while lit...

Here is part four of my four-part series of articles dedicated to providing the you, the community, with information regarding basic estate planning documents, forms, and what to do with the information. In this article, I talk about Health Care Directives. What is a Health Care Directive? A Health Care Directive allows competent adults to appoint someone, called an agent, to make health care treatment decisions for them when they are unable or unwilling to communicate a decision for themselves. It allows the written expressi...
I remember an old picture I saw of a pioneer woman positioned next to a large cauldron, surrounded by fire — a nineteenth century hot water heater! It was laundry day. There was no wringer to squeeze water from clothes. There were no rinse tubs in sight. Things got better with time: electricity was harnessed, inventions were made, and eventually, even a teenager could handle most of wash day (my daughter did). As I remember from my youth, wash day was always Monday, that was in the ‘50s and early ‘60s, before most women...
The Carter County High Lady Bulldogs left no doubt when they defeated Wibaux in the Southern C Divisional championship game on Saturday night in Laurel. The game was a rematch of this year's District 4C title game, when the Bulldogs beat the Longhorns 61-55. At the divisional championship, the girls had an eight point lead at halftime and went on to win by 20. CCHS split games with Wibaux in the regular season. Last year they defeated Harlowton/Ryegate in the Southern C...
