DIXON — I recently returned from a short-but-sweet visit to my home town of Juneau, Alaska, where I attended a very sentimental, touching community dedication of a memorial to the Japanese Americans who were removed from their homes in Juneau, and interned in western camps during WWII. My dea...
DIXON — I’m trying to quickly get this in print, before the early deadline this week. Take some breaks this summer and join us for lunch or dinner at the Dixon Senior Center: no fuss, good food, and great price. Meals are at 6 p.m. on Monday nights and at noon on Thursdays. Take-outs are...
DIXON — Let’s hear it for the rains of spring. If you’re not flooding, you probably appreciate them. I like a gradual approach to the summer heat. Having grown up in Seattle and Juneau, Alaska, I love that Western Montana rains don’t go on for days (or weeks), and the flower...

DIXON — We enjoyed a sunny lunchtime last Thursday at the Dixon Senior Center, lots of melting going on and no serious flooding in our area that I’m aware of. We’re all awaiting the official start of spring. I love noticing the first signs. So far, I’ve heard definite spring bird song...
DIXON — It’s a beautiful, sunny day — warmed up to 0 degrees so far. According to various weather reporting sites, the worst of the winter is behind us. Although the snow is beautiful, my yearnings go towards signs of spring, which are due to show up next month. Does anyone have i...
DIXON — We began February with more real winter ... I knew it would come back, in spite of the early spring feel. The furor has increased at my bird feeding station. Last year’s red-wing blackbirds appeared at last and even a lone robin showed up to nibble some apple peelin...
DIXON — Do you know that just a few miles down the road, on the way to Missoula (and when you get there) it’s been in the 40’s and bright sunshine? I was there when it was 45 degrees and by the time I got to Arlee it was 25 degrees. It’s often just the opposite and I’m...
