That sure is a major road and parking renovation project going on right in the middle of Hawthorne. Work is progressing at a quick pace. Some of the median parking is complete. It looks like the entire project is ahead of schedule and may be completed earlier than the February 2015 projected completion date. More convenient parking and a bike lane are included in the plans. We look forward to a “new look” in down town Hawthorne. Kiwanis Fair For the past 63 years the Kiwanis Club of Hawthorne has been sponsoring a summer carnival, parade or fair for the kids of Hawthorne.

All of the funds raised go to support the ongoing community service work of the Hawthorne Kiwanis Club. Family Roots Where did you come from? Where were your parents from? All of us wonder some time in our lives how we got to be who we are. We are some what curious to hear of our ancestry. That was part of my motivation to venture up to Montana last week to visit my aunt and uncle who have lived in Great Falls for over 80 years. My father’s sister, aunt Ruth, is the last of that generation to still be living. I wanted to listen to her tell of her childhood and how my father and her had grown up in Montana. With a Huber family tree as a reference, we tried to piece together who was who and the when and where they all had lived. It’s always interesting to hear of turning points in a family that have had a last effect on the ensuing generations. One such decision was for my father to attend prep school, college and seminary in St. Louis, Missouri and leave Montana on a train at the age of 13. One of his classmates during his schooling had the first name of Norbert, hence I was named for my father’s close friend. Basically, we have no control of where our ancestors came from, but we can learn how we got to be who we are today. Look for your roots, you may find your identity. A Favorite National Park Spending three days in Glacier National Park in Northwest Montana reminded me that there is still a lot of wide open land in America. Here in the big city we are living very close to one another. If you get out to the Wild West you realize how close we live to each other here in Hawthorne. Driving for miles and miles on open stretches of two lane highways without seeing any cars is quite different than our congested streets. Those were the roads we took to enter Glacier Park. The glaciers of Glacier are slowly melting away. Authorities say that by the year 2020 all of the glaciers will have disappeared. It was quite a site to hike up the mountain side and end up at a lake full of ice bergs. One brave young man dove in, climbed up on top of an ice berg and dove back into the frigid cold water. He didn’t stay in the water long. Glacier has to rank right up there as one of my favorite national parks. Each of our parks have their own great characteristics. Yosemite has its granite valley walls, Yellowstone has its geysers, and Glacier has beautiful broad vistas of deep canyons and white glacier filled lakes. The Road-to-the-Sun highway is only open six month out of the year due to the heavy snow it receives. The snow and cold temperatures during the winter would keep my wife from ever considering a move to the Big Sky country. Obviously, every husband knows that a happy wife make life a lot better. I guess I’ll be staying in Hawthorne for the foreseeable future. Upcoming Events • Next City Council Meeting: Tuesday, August 26 – 6 p.m. at City Hall. Contact Info norbhuber@gmail.com.
