Dear SANTA,
I am blessed. I have a wonderful man in my life who brings me great joy, laughter, and love. I do not need you to visit here; however, I saw a young child, I think with her young mum, that is sorely in need of a warm belly, a safe place to spend the night, a new coat, and if one can be procured, a dolly just her size.
In another place I saw a young man holding a sign: will work for food, new babe at home.
How easy it is to ask for things I do not need while human beings all around me are forced day in and day out to do the impossible: keep a family fed despite no job, address, or real place to call home.
I didn't cause it, but I am shamed to admit I avert my eyes and pretend they do not exist.
I have forgotten those days, to know hunger and filth better than my own neighbor.
I, too, have been homeless and was completely relying on the good hearted people I did not know. That's how I learned, 'Yes, Kathy Meader, there is a SANTA Clause, and many, many angels.
How many looked at me before they looked away?
So, Santa, should you make a stop here, please know that I have what I want. In this season of miracles, please provide coats, homes, jobs, and a toy for the children deeply affected. And may guardian angels warm them with love....most of all, after seeing the despair, and the who will walk walk away, please give out hope. Thank your

This little girl is missing from Cheney. She has not been seen or heard from since Thanksgiving night. Some of us in Cheney are meeting at Sutton Park at 1pm to try to search for her in the nearby woods and fields. If you could please pass the information on it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

A three-year study will begin this summer on Bighorn Reservoir to
try to determine the source of high mercury levels in the lake’s fish.
“The
U.S. Geological Survey is doing a similar study on Lake Powell in Utah
and Arizona,” said Dave Naftz, research hydrologist for the USGS in
Helena. “Lake Powell has some similar issues as Bighorn Canyon.”
Bighorn
Reservoir is within the boundaries of the Bighorn Canyon National
Recreation Area, operated by the Park Service. The 120,300-acre
reservoir that crosses the Montana-Wyoming border rivals Lake Powell for
its scenic cliffs amid a desert-like setting.
The USGS study of
Bighorn Reservoir was initiated because a 2004 study found the lake had
the third-highest mercury levels of 520 fish samples analyzed
nationwide.
