POLSON — May 5 brings us the “mesmerizing flower” full moon. I call it the sneezing pollen allergy moon. Commodity food for those in need are distributed on a monthly basis. You can help us by recycling your clean and gently used Super One Foods green plastic grocery bags. We use this brand bag only, as they better serve our purposes due to their strength and capacity. Repurposed cabinets were installed in the “game room” to provide storage for card and board games. We need gently used board games to add to our inventory. Activities: - Thursday early evening may be available for those interested in a weekly “board /card game night....

POLSON — May Day was originally a Pagan celebration of the start of the flowering season; demonstrated by dancing, play and pleasure. I recall my mother’s Irish/Scandinavian tradition of children leaving a basket of fresh flowers on the porches of strangers, then knocking on the door and gleefull...
ST. IGNATIUS — Please be careful when burning yard waste, papers, and fields. As many of you know a family recently lost their house in a Polson Fire. Our St. Ignatius Senior Center is holding a Mother’s Day Basket Raffle. Some of the items included are a $30 gift certificate to Bev&rsqu...
POLSON — Well, if you haven’t filed your IRS form 1040 EZ by the time you read this, it’s not too late to file for an extension. That EZ at the end is supposed to mean “Easy,” but it never is. If you work a 40-hour work week for 52 weeks it figures out to a 2080-hour work year. ...
ARLEE — This is what I wrote last year and it seems to apply this week, except we have freezing weather – winds, below zero, more snow and yet the sun wants to tease us with what is to come. “March winds seem to have arrived in February with all that below zero weather! But now we are lo...
ST. IGNATIUS — Believe it or not, we had a big brown bear in our yard last week. So, keep your bird feeders protected and your garbage put away.
