Dick Geary, a fourth-generation Helmville rancher, spent years as a...
Boys fall 33-73 The Blackhawk express from Seeley Lake thundered through Lincoln on the Friday before Christmas break and it wasn't bringing gifts from the North Pole. Both teams, the Lady Lynx and varsity men, fell to the perennial powerhouse Seeley Lake Blackhawks in lopsided losses that were tests of character and resiliency.

The winter solstice marks the first day of winter. For people residing in the Northern Hemisphere, Tuesday, December 21, 2021, heralds the official arrival of winter (the Southern Hemisphere's winter solstice is on Sunday, June 20). Though it's common to think of the winter solstice as an event that spans an entire day, it actually occurs for just a moment - specifically when a hemisphere is tilted as far away from the sun as it can be.
