TogetherGreen fellow Heather Ristow of the Montana Audubon Center in Billings Montana coordinated a weed pull contest in which volunteers from a new youth mentoring program pulled 475 pounds of invasive houndstongue. Located adjacent to the Yellowstone River, the Center is a 54-acre former gravel pit. The land is being restored to native riparian habitat by the continual efforts of volunteers. Students of all ages can now explore and learn about this important wetland habitat in the heart of Billings.
Several years ago we purchased a wonderful piece of land in the untouched hills above the city where I was born. Summer days are sooooo hot here and the sun is strong so this year during our visit to Montenegro we decided to try to find water and build a well.
I was surprised to learn that my high school math teacher is also a well-known and successful “water-finder” in the area. He uses the principles of radiesthesia. First he surveyed the lot with the brass dowsing pendulum and then he used two L-shaped brass wire rods. He managed to locate about 7 “water spots" and then marked the strongest one for us to start digging. www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://diviningmind.com/stor...
At that particular spot he estimated that there are 4 water runs that are meeting at depth of 7-7.5m underground. So we started digging.

The long arm of the excavator digs up to 35-feet deep to help contain the underground fire. Once the barrier wall is solid, excavation of the burning material will continue to be excavated and mixed with a clay-sand slurry to extinguish the fire.
Tormod and his nephew Uilleam had gone to the meadow to dig the mid-season potatoes. It wasn’t the best crop they had grown, but young Uilleam seemed to be enjoying the opportunity to be playing in the fresh dirt.

The mines, as deep as 50 meters, are dug by hand by men, women and children.There are always ropes for the buckets of ore but not always for the boys who scrabble up and down the pits finding footholds and hand holds in the dirt walls. Losing grip here could be fatal.
