The holidays are upon us and busy schedules often send us into a panic when looking for the perfect gift for those on our list. No matter your budget, there are affordable gift options your friends and family will love. Tools are always a welcome gift. Most gardeners are reluctant to invest in that cool new hand trowel, shovel or rake. And that’s what makes them a great gift. Or create a starter kit from your extra tools for a new homeowner or gardener. Clean them up, sharpen the blades and bundle them with a bow. Add a gift card from a n...
While talking about the history of her ancestral home, the Petersen Ranch, in Pleasant Valley, west of Kalispell, where Terry Siderius and her husband still live and farm, we looked through old yellowed family photographs from the mid-1920s. This scene of her mom, Betty Petersen, and her uncles, Woodie, Rodney, and Donald touched our hearts. We both knew this photo would become a painting, but it raised many questions. From their snow-covered snow pants and sleds, we knew the children were...
This week's showcase is brought to you by Visit Southeast Montana, and takes us to the southeastern border of Montana just 10 minutes outside of Decker, to Tongue River State Park. A 265-mile-long tributary of the Yellowstone River, “the Tongue” (as it is called locally) starts in Wyoming and runs through Montana. The park features a 12-mile long reservoir set in scenic prairie and bluff lands of southeastern Montana, which is characterized by the striking contrast of red shale and juniper canyo...
Give yourself a gift for Christmas! A gift that lasts a lifetime. A gift that is highly valued and yet it doesn’t cost a dime to get started. A gift that keeps on giving. I’m talking about the gift that adults can give themselves when they return to education. If you have applied for a job and were told you didn’t qualify because you did not finish school, here is the solution. If your child asks when you graduated, and you can’t tell them, here is the solution. If your grandchild asks about you...

Radio has been one of the great loves of my life from the time of my youth. The music, the ball games, the talk shows were carefully tuned in on my stereo. Radio was my invisible friend and companionship in the remote country of my youth, where the social world was far away from my reality. After doing some small stories on local people for the Roundup Record, I knew that I wanted to interview Bill at KLMB Radio, Roundups local radio station. As I walked in the door, Bill greeted me and...

Homemade gifts are a wonderful way to show you care. Making them from items grown in your garden adds that extra personal touch. And just like the plant, decorations and gifts made from milkweed pods are gaining in popularity. Considered a weed by some, common milkweed is making a comeback as more gardeners are growing this important food source for monarch butterflies. Harvest the seedpods and craft them into wreaths, stars and indoor holiday trees. Remove the pods from the plants, separate the halves and allow them to dry as needed. If you...
In Miles City Fannie added the Montana State Ladies' Bucking Horse Championship to her laurels, and the Steeles formed their Powder River Wild West Show, with which they barnstormed Montana enroute back to the Sperry ranch.

The holiday tree is the center of many family celebrations. Ornaments collected over the years decorate the boughs while brightly wrapped gifts are carefully placed underneath. But the hunt for the perfect tree can be an important part of the tradition. Many try to find the right size and shape for the space allotted, a fragrance the whole family prefers and good needle retention for long lasting beauty. Load the family into the car or walk to the corner Christmas tree lot and let the hunt begin. Size and shape are important. Your tree needs...
When Datus Sperry moved west with his family from New York State to the vicinity of Detroit, he may not have thought of a wife. When Rachel Schroeder had moved west from Germany with her family to the same neighborhood, she certainly had not thought of a husband, for she was just a baby, but Fate already had them cinched. They met there, but the time was not yet right. Datus and brother, Myles, decided that Montana needed their exploring, and it was seven years before he got around to proposing...

I asked Doug to tell me a little about his career and how he became a pilot. Doug enlisted in the Navy in 1944 and...

Pressure cooking has been around for a few hundred years, but it seems to be quite the craze these days. With advanced technology and our busy schedules, electric pressure cooking has caught on to be a routine method of cooking. Most of the electric pressure cookers on the market today may be used several different ways or considered multi-cookers – pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer and even a yogurt maker. Although, this method of cooking may be daunting to some who have heard of terrifying stories of pressure cooker d...
Almost from the time we became a country, there has been no more significant force in American private education than the Catholic Church, and it has served millions and millions of students, Catholics and non-Catholics alike, from pre-school to the highest levels of university graduate study. By the close of the Civil War, the Catholic Church was well-established on the Montana frontier to assist in schooling both white and Native American children. Picturesquely located near Birdtail Rock, a...
Marshall Swearingen, MSU News Service BOZEMAN — A technology developed at Montana State University to improve how spacecraft computers cope with disruptive cosmic radiation has once again traveled to the International Space Station for testing. The prototype arrived at the space station on Nov. 4, two days after MSU students who helped design and build the device watched it leave on a rocket launched from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. "It really felt like a milestone," said electrical engineering doctoral student Chris Major, w...
Pickleball is one of America’s fastest-growing sports, according to USA Pickleball Association. Invented in 1965 on Bainbridge Island near Seattle, it began as a way to entertain family and friends.

Leftover sports equipment like ping-pong paddles, badmi...
