Lockwood Montana

It's been a long time since I was in school and to be honest, I don't remember a lot from those days...or at least I thought I didn't.

Q2 reports that taxpayers in Lockwood approved a bond issue for a high school to be built, supporting the $49.9 million project on Tuesday with almost 64 percent of the vote. Superintedndent Tobin Novasio said they want taxpayers to be confident in their investment...

Today is the day when your ballots have to be postmarked or received at the courthouse. For the folks in Lockwood, you will decide on a new high school. It's a big issue with a big price; so, either way make sure your voice is heard.

Ballots went out today for folks in Lockwood. They'll decide if they want a new high school or not. That's the way it should be. K-8 enrollment is at 1200; it's time for that community to have their own high school. Travel time for kids who drive is at least 45 minutes to Skyview...

Well they are putting up more storage sheds next to Ace in Lockwood. I said that but it looks like there is one guy doing the work. He is making good time when it's not raining and now there are more storage sheds up and ready to rent. More storage units next to Ace Hardware in Lockwood...

I like the idea that Lockwood may finally be getting their own high school. Now, sure, I don't live in that district, so it won't cost me anything. But Lockwood needs this school. Badly. It's good for educations in Montana. It's more teaching jobs...

Well I am thinking that the storage sheds that they put up are full so now construction started today on some new ones. It also looks like you could park your toy hauler or whatever you have back in the back of the lot.

After a lengthy fundraising period, the kids of Lockwood will have one of the coolest playgrounds in America. It has a fire engine, slides, handicap accessible sings, and slides. And this is a great project for a couple reasons. One, kids in Lockwood will really benefit from this...

Well, the town of Billings is growing with no end in sight.

We were sitting at home last night when my wife went to put the baby down for bed. A moment later she came out saying that she thought someone's house was on fire. We ran to the front door and could see bright flashes of light like the flickering of a fire coming from a distance outside of our subdivision...

One of the neater aspects of living in Billings is that there is a lot to see less than an hours drive in nearly any direction. For instance, about a 5 minute drive south of Lockwood is Pictograph Caves State Park. Registered as a national monument the caves are an interesting trek back through time...

Firefighters are still battling the blaze that started yesterday afternoon near mile marker 7, East of Lockwood.  Pryor Road and Highway 87 have been re-opened to local traffic, if you don't need to travel in this area, please do not.  The fire is not contained, and believed to be started by a person...
