All for Nothing: Archie’s deaf aunt was paying them a visit, and her affliction greatly impressed the little fellow. As he and his small sister were getting ready for bed, he remarked: “Isn’t it awful to be deaf, Nancy? Just think of having to wash your ears every day and never getting any good out of them at all!”

Another outdoor magazine has featured the fabulous Big Horn Canyon. “Boating” magazine, the world’s largest circulation boating magazine, carried a complimentary feature on the canyon in the August issue.

The article and color photographs, both done by Margaret and Bill Jensen, give a detailed view of the canyon, its history and its fishing. One full-page picture of Devil’s Canyon and two half-page photos also enhance the article.

Patrick Moen of Lovell pulled a whopper out of Big Horn Lake recently. Patrick, the 11-year-old son of Byron and Karen Moen, was fishing with his family near Barry’s Landing on July 25 when he reeled in the walleye that was 8 lbs., 0.5 oz., his mother reported this week.

While Patrick’s fish was short of the Montana state record of 14 pounds for a walleye, Karen said, it was almost the record length. Patrick’s walleye was 30¾” long, and the record fish was 31” long. He was fishing from shore and caught the fish using a minnow.

Eight hundred fifty-two iPads have arrived and will soon be in the hands of most students and teachers within Big Horn County School District No. 1. Supt. Shon Hocker said students in third, fourth and fifth grade will each receive an iPad for use as a learning device. He said the teachers will determine when it is appropriate for a student to take the device home to use for the homework.

He said all students in the middle school will have a device, as well. He said the device will be assigned to the student for a period of four years, and they will be required to turn the device back in at the end of that time period. As the students enter 10th grade, they will receive a new iPad for their use while in high school. Students in grades lower than third will share devices on a two-to-one basis.
