Five area historical commissions attend conference

Published

on

A lot of smiling faces, long-horned cows, and some very well-dressed but dusty cowboys, all made their way into the community room in the courthouse annex Oct. 18 to share their knowledge and enthusiasm for an awesome era in the shared past that all remember as “The Old Chisholm Trail.”

Initially, the Montague County Historical Commission began making plans to host a gathering of neighboring county historical commissions to talk about how life in their communities resumed following the war between the states.

As plans progressed, MCHC members became convinced that all the local historians should have their chance to join in the fun. The invitation was opened and nearly 80 people turned out to remember the past and to consider the future impact of that “trail” in the communities. Five visiting CHCs attended and were welcomed to share their tales by Janis Sneed, local chairperson. Read the full story in the Saturday News.

Remember to fall back on Saturday night for Sunday time change

Published

Daylight Saving Time ends on Nov. 3, so before you go to bed Saturday night move your clocks back one hour.
There have been efforts to get the time change thrown out, but it continues to be in governmental limbo.
What is the future of daylight saving time? On March 15, 2022, the U.S. Senate passed a bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. But it will not become law until the House of Representatives votes and the president signs off.
The Sunshine Protection Act, stalled in 2023. A group of senators reintroduced the bill again this year and it has been referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation to review and it is stuck in committee.
This time change also is a good time to change out the batteries in your smoke alarms to be set for the next year.
