Editor, I started volunteering Thursdays in February 2020 and was amazed the service the Feed My Sheep Soup Kitchen provided to a lot of people. Then, in March, the pandemic hit, the dine-in quit, but people still needed a meal so it became sack lunch — 50 to 80 or more a day. Janet Tams was the cook-supervisor and a wonderful lady to work for. She has since moved to California to be closer to her children and grandchildren. Janet did this job for over eight years, and we miss her. The soup kitchen needed someone to fill this...

Monday was a big day. It was the first day of winter sports. Of course, it was weird to say that because, normally, winter sports would have started almost a month ago, and last weekend would have already seen events like the Havre Invitational wrestling tournament take place. Of course, this year, and the coming year, are anything but normal. And because it's not normal right now, the Montana High School Association, rightfully so in my humble opinion, delayed the first...
