GREAT FALLS, Mont. - Good Samaritans are coming together help students better adjust to remote learning. Their mission: to give everyone a âdesk of their own.â
Through time spent under quarantine this year we ve learned how important a designated workspace can be, especially for students learning from home this year. People in Great Falls are hand- making and delivering over 100 wooded desks to provide some structure.
Gaines McFadden, a master woodworker, Dan Oakland, Gordon Johnson, and many others use tools donated from Ace Hardware and Johnson/Madison to build 130 wood desks for students from Kindergarten through sixth grade. Donations fully funded this project, GFPS receiving donations from the Rotary Club of Great Falls and many local businesses. Each desk takes over two hours to make, and volunteers have spent close to 325 hours providing school-room to help remote learners. McFadden said he considered underprivileged children who might not have their own desk space

ST. MARTIN, Miss. (WLOX) - An early morning fuel spill at a shrimp dock has made a bad situation worse for neighbors in St. Martin.
The smell from the fuel spill on Friday, along with the noise from the clean-up, was annoying to residents who lived on the north side of the canal. The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and the Coast Guard responded to the spill early Friday morning. Clean up was expected to be completed by the end of the day.
