A recent column identified the basic elements of a strong walking pattern: good posture, strong ankle flexion and heel strike, balanced weight transfer, and proper stride length for forward (not side to side) movement. Take a moment to consider how well each element of your personal walking pattern is working to support your balance and agility. Are you maintaining good posture? What does your stride look like?

Precipitation totals for 2020 continue to lag far behind normal. The total amount of moisture received in Broadus for the first 11 months of the year fell behind the previous driest year, 1988, with 7.29” of moisture Jan 1 through Nov 30 in 2020, compared to 7.30” through those dates in 1988. In November, Broadus received a trace of moisture, which is defined as amount of precipitation greater than zero but too small to be measured by standard units of measurement. Gauges measure to hundredths of an inch, so somewhere between zero and .01” of m...

Thursday, December 6, 1990 Air, soil testing continues at town office, fire hall After nearly eight months, the Montana Underground Storage Tank Bureau may finally be closing in on determining the cause and extent of the problem which led to the abandonment of the Town Office in the Broadus Fire Hall. The Montana Underground Storage Tank Bureau has contracted Chen-Northern, a Helena based firm, to do more complete tests on air and soil samples and to do engineering studies on the ventilation system at the fire hall. Last spring, office e...
It's very common to gradually end up with a "forward leaning" posture that can contribute to the risk for falls. Proper alignment is often described as being "lifted up" by a string with the head, shoulders, hips, and knees all in alignment. When the shoulders and head round forward your center of gravity moves forward out of alignment, increasing the risk of falling. Good posture keeps the shoulders open and centered (not rounded forward) to support better alignment and walking balance – but i...

With an estimated 240 million barrels, Bell Creek was the 84th largest oil field in the country when discovered and more than 400 wells were drilled. In 1976, Gary and his wife, Nancy, cre...

Farm Bureau’s 35th annual survey indicates the average cost of this year’s Thanksgiving feast for 10 remains affordable at $46.90...
