Dear Editor, I wish I could report that Fort Peck Rural County Water District Board members were conducting business more dutifully, ethically and respectfully. But just when I think things can't get any worse, they do. The August 12, 2024, three-member Board meeting is a perfect case in point. At that meeting, Director Ms. Linda Parpart once again demonstrated an inability to run a board meeting. She interrupted public comment numerous times and would absolutely NOT allow public comment on any...
Dear Editor, My story begins on the evening of July 12 as my 13-year-old grandson, Austin and I set out to do some night fishing for walleye on Fort Peck Reservoir. After fishing for several hours, we decided to head back to our camp at Flat Lake Camping Area around 11:15 p.m. We motored the boat about four to five hundred yards offshore as we followed the lake shoreline towards our camp when we spotted a distant light that we thought was our camp. Knowing that the light was still over thr...

Do you remember some of the Buttrey Grocery stores of the past? What a comparison to the one we have now. Oops, that should be what a comparison to the Albertsons store that we now have. I am remembering the store that was located on the corner of 3rd Ave So. and 5th Street. That would be back in the Air Base days and offered employment for some of our high school students. I am not sure when Buttrey’s became Albertsons, but I do remember that they were located in several locations before our BRAND NEW ALBERTSONS came about. What an addition t...

Aug. 24, 2024 High winds and sudden rains impeded harvest efforts this week. We got 4/10 of an inch on Tuesday, in time for busses to go on muddy roads for their first day of school. The temps were in the 90s. Wednesday, Aug. 21,, the schools began with a good enrollment, 42 students in Lustre Grade School and 36 in LCHS. I doubt that many of the grade school students were too excited to start school, and the kindergaten-grade two gave a hearty "NO" to my question if they were glad to be at...
