The Summer XCELL Program is in full swing as we are finishing up our second week! This will be my fourth summer working within the program and I can confidently say this summer has been one of our greatest turn out of kids! We have been averaging about 50-60 kids so far and I have been amazed at the amount of kids showing up. It's amazing to see how two incredible communities come together to benefit the students in these summer months. The workers we have with the program this summer are so...
Heavy rains hit Cascade Thursday afternoon, causing minor flooding on the north end of town. All afternoon the storm had been forming over the Adel Mountains, dark looming clouds threatening with deep rumbling thunder. Then, the rain came sweeping down in torrents, making driving difficult, windshield wipers being ineffective against the rain falling in sheets, and people caught outside scrambling for shelter. Except for the flooding, however, there was no major damage. Weather alerts later...
Sometimes it seems as if humanity lurches from disaster to disaster with brief periods of enlightenment in between. As we look back through history we learn about the so-called great conquerors. We hold up as persons of note men like Alexander, Genghis Khan, Attila, on and on. We build statues to these “great” men. Somehow the fact that their fame rests on the slaughter of untold millions of people who were just going about their lives before being butchered to serve the megalomania of a con...
Robert "Bobby" W. Loague passed away on May 27, 2023, at Benefis Peace Hospice in Great Falls, MT. Bob was born on January 26, 1936, in Memphis, TN, the son of Jack and Lillian Loague. His father helped him develop a love of cars, as well as taught him how to be a great truck driver. He felt he had learned from the best. Bob's first car was a 1934 Ford Coupe. In Bob's early years, he drove truck in several states. For one of Bob's earliest trucking jobs, he would transport two loads a day,...
“As a dog returns to his own vomit, a fool repeats his folly,” Prov. 26:11. Well, if that’s not a slap in the face! A significant portion of the Bible is just that. Like a rude awakening, this Proverb jolts the senses and the soul. Whereas so many devotionals are low-calorie spiritual food that specialize in sugary warm fuzzies (which are likely the most popular, too), there are times when a devotional thought needs to shake me by the shoulders and turn my head around. Whether the distraction is money, lust, food, drunkenness (alcohol or drugs...
They said to Him, "Rabbi…where are You staying?" He said to them, "Come and see." —John 1:38-39 Where our self-interest sleeps and the real interest is awakened. “They…remained with Him that day….” That is about all some of us ever do. We stay with Him a short time, only to wake up to our own realities of life. Our self-interest rises up and our abiding with Him is past. Yet there is no circumstance of life in which we cannot abide in Jesus. “You are Simon….You shall be called Cephas” (John 1:42). God writes our new name only on those places in...
Met up with Co-President of the Dearborn Garden Club ,Carol Brady, Sunday afternoon as she was working on Joe's Trail, this year's "President's Project" that she has undertaken with Co-President, Charlene Moug. The recent rains have made it difficult for the club to work steadily on their beautifying projects around town, so Carol was taking advantage of great weather Sunday. In fact, she was still at it that evening, as I spotted her doing her thing at the Railroad Park! Check out their...
Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. Note that this was two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation – which had become official January 1, 1863. The Emancipation Proclamation had little impact on the Texans due to the minimal number of Union tro...

On Saturday the 15th, the Chestnut Valley 4H Club adjourned. When everyone was there we talked about how much money we made at the Cinco de Mayo dance. We ended up with a little over $700. We finished with our after-action review moving into state fair business. We discussed how many people and who would be doing the shifts for the State Fair ice cream booth. We then talked about doing a petting zoo for the younger kids. We talked about a pool fundraiser for Cascade. We had no Treasurer's report because our treasurer Lane McKamey was out. We...
Our club has been busy cleaning and planting our planters around town as well as planting our 911 Garden and the flower bed at the Wedsworth Park. We also cleaned up the areas and planted many new perennials and stained the tables and benches. A water drip system will be installed there as well as a new metal roof over the picnic area. We hope you enjoy them when you visit the Trail Head area or the park. We also cleaned our section of the highway on the Missouri Inn exit. It looks so nice and...

Over the past year patrons have taken severe advantage of your library’s policies. New patrons have signed up for a Wedsworth Library card and destroyed the faith Library staff has developed in their patrons over the years concerning overdue and lost items. Indifferent, ignoring, and lack of response to communication attempts to recall and reclaim library materials has ruffled the feathers of library staff. As a result of patrons’ irresponsible attitudes towards library policies, library policies will be changed and enforced. As of July 1, 202...
