The weather was HOT, but the spirits were high, and the games were on! It was the Annual SPLASH-A-ROO Fundraiser at the Atkinson Park this Saturday, and it seemed like the whole town came out to support the Atkinson Pool and to just have a good old-fashioned, small-town, family fun time! There was something for everyone, from a kids' triathlon, to a carnival, to food and other vendors, a cake walk, a chili cook-off, live country music provided by Shakedown County, and even a Chicken Poop Bingo!...

Help! I'm melting!!! That's how it's been feeling these last few days here in Cascade as temperatures have been lingering in the mid to high nineties! Forecast this morning was calling for temps to reach 101 today, as I write this. For a minute, I thought I was back in Texas! The difference, though, is that, here, one can get under a shade and cool off. Here, the temperatures drop at night and one wakes up to cooler morning temps. Here, these temperatures don't linger for months at a time....
State and local health officials are reporting the first West Nile Virus (WNV) detection of the year in mosquitoes sampled from Blaine County. No humans or horses have tested positive for WNV yet this season. Infected mosquitoes can transmit WNV when they bite, and increased risk of WNV transmission to humans and horses is expected to continue through October – or as long as mosquitoes are active in the state. While no human cases of WNV were reported in 2022, in previous seasons Montana has reported over 50 human cases in a single summer. I...
The speed with which the world is changing means we cannot possibly hope to teach our young folks how to deal with it all. The speed of climate change, the advent of Artificial Intelligence, the massive increase in information about the universe, leaves us with a feeling of inadequacy in conveying the necessary information to our children and grandchildren so they can deal with it appropriately. How do we teach the best way of employing Artificial Intelligence when even those at the forefront...

TobyMac remembers going to his first official songwriting session for his current album, “Life After Death,” and it wasn’t the usual pleasant feeling. “I was driving out there and I was like ‘What am I doing? Am I going to write a song like everything’s back to normal?’” he recalled in a recent phone interview. “It made me sick, almost, honestly.” Normally, writing songs with a collaborator would be exciting, something to anticipate as an artist wonders if some creative magic will happen in that writing room that day. But these weren’t norma...

Cascade has evolved over time. Buildings have come and gone. Buildings have changed ownership or morphed from one business to another. As most know the Homestead/Canyon Life Church used to be the Sportsman Bar. But did you know at one time a Mexican restaurant filled that slot? Mike DiAngelis has a picture of Central Avenue from the river’s viewpoint towards the ‘old’ school – ya know the one that was 3 stories tall. This picture according to Mike has a perfect picture of a sign hangin outside the building of what became the Sportsman Bar nam...
