Greetings 405 listener!
The 405 airs over KMMR Radio Station. At 5 Minutes past 4 PM. Normally each M-F week day of the year. Here on the website we'll get it posted for you within a few hours, normally.
Your neighbor and website maintainer,
D.J. Rasmussen
I wanna again welcome you to the 04:05 coffee break. You ever get tired of that? Get you a cup of coffee, glass iced tea. It's Monday. Let's see what's happening.
OK Solberg:Bottle of water. Spring wheat, uh-oh, going down again. $5.36 a bushel. We know harvest is upon us. A 550lb steer calf will cheer you up, though $4.10 a pound on the top end, $4.10 just like the shotgun.
OK Solberg:A butcher hog in Iowa, 53¢ a pound, and a 100lb fat lamb in Billings going just the same way as spring wheat going down a dollar 88 a pound. But guys, there's more, much more. Yes, I'll admit I have a thinking problem. I'm thinking all the time, guys. Fortunately, I have a lady who loves me and I don't have to worry about woe is me, like David Ball in his famous song.
OK Solberg:But I do have a thinking problem. I never run out of things to think about. Somebody asked me recently, so are you running out of things to say on the radio program? I never run out of things to think about, and it'll be a cold day in Montana when I run out of things to write about for this program. Now see, I haven't shared from an old Phillips County newspaper for a while now.
OK Solberg:So first thing this morning, I headed over to our local library. I pulled down the year 1979. I wanted it after I graduated high school, but before I got married. So I got this big book to the back table. It's all the papers from the whole year and I open it, guys.
OK Solberg:I never looked through more than one newspaper from 1979 before I got information enough for the whole week, just one newspaper. First, I see a front page article titled small claims court proves to be valuable. It reads, small claims court can be thought of as justice for common man as it offers speedy justice without a long dragged out trial and the expense of a lawyer. All that is really needed is a complaint bringing a plaintiff and a defendant before a judge. In Malta's case, the judge is usually the justice of the peace.
OK Solberg:Malta has had the benefit of a small claims court for only a year, but according to justice of the peace, Gayle Florin, it has been used quite a bit, end of quote. But isn't that interesting? I go back to a newspaper forty six years old and we find a name we just read about in the most recent PCN. Gayle Florin, is known to us as Gayle Stahl now, but she just retired. Wow, Gayle, you've been working here for a long long while.
OK Solberg:Thank you for your timeless service. The article from just five days ago reads, Tuesday, July 29, the reception to honor justice of the peace, Gayle Stahl's retirement was held at the J P office in the lower level of the courthouse. Stahl retired with the longest tenure in office in the state. End of quote. Again.
OK Solberg:Thank you, Gayle. So back to the 1979 PCN. I see on the classified page, we have an advertisement for Mendel flying service. I see Norm Spoonheim has an ad for your complete building needs. There's a Lafond refrigeration.
OK Solberg:There's a Zanes radio and TV. Well, look at here, even Jimbo's honey wagon. Then what really caught my eye was an article about the Yesteryear book. See, guys, the first volume of the Yesteryears came out in 1978. But the article states something interesting about a man named Al Schultz.
OK Solberg:The article gives a brief synopsis of a story that young Al Schultz, when he was riding a steamboat on the Missouri and he got left behind accidentally by the woodcutters as they went on shore to gather fuel. Well, it tells about little Al finally being found, and he was in the center of a group of Indian ladies all painted and dressed in Indian clothes, clutching a piece of boiled buffalo rib nearly as big as a kid was, and tears streaming down his face. I had me an idea. I thought, guys, I wanna read that entire article. And I was in luck.
OK Solberg:I was in the library. It took about two minutes to find the Yesteryear's book, and I read the article. I surely did and I took a picture of it. It's too long to share today since my time is running low, but tune in again tomorrow to hear that interesting story. Oh, but the information from the 1979's newspaper 1979 newspaper, doesn't end there.
OK Solberg:I see Dan Perry had the high series and the high game in the bowling news. I see in the Whitewater tidbits that Mr & Mrs Dave Dunbar, Missy and Grant spent Christmas day in Malta at the home of Mr & Mrs Jim Sintler Jr. Also Mr & Mrs Rufus Ramirez, Mike, Lori, and David Conlon spent Christmas day in Saco at the home of Mrs Josephine Breipohl. Oh, it's fun to have fun. And I will admit I got a thinking problem, but I never have a run out of things to talk about problem.
OK Solberg:Here's our bible verse. Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations. Ask your fathers and they will show you, your elders, and they will tell you. Deuteronomy 32-7. So until next time, as you go out there, remember now, don't be bitter.
