The Carter County Bulldogs played their first football game of the season in Fairview against the defending Montana 8-Man state champion Warriors last Friday night. On their opening possession, Blue marched down the field and scored on an option play, taking an early 6-0 lead as they failed to convert the two-point conversion. The Dawgs were visibly more physical than the Warriors and ran the ball successfully throughout most of the contest. For the most part, the only thing...

Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, while looking through the book “Your life is in God’s hand,’ by Thomas Lindberg, it’s interesting how he reminds us not to fear, fret, fright, fume or forget. “Don’t fear”, he writes, then gives an example of slipping a piece of paper inside a book, then shutting the book, demonstrating how we’re hidden with Christ. (Colossians 3:3). None can touch us without going through Your caring hand, Lord. Long ago, there was a song; “Why Worry When You Can Pray,” a depiction of “Don’t f...
MONTANA – The Montana Department of Commerce announced last week that more than 8,200 small businesses in Montana have now received $123.4 million through Governor Steve Bullock’s Business Stabilization Program, funded by the Coronavirus Relief Fund. First launched in May, small businesses based in Montana with fewer than 50 employees that have experienced a loss in revenue due to the pandemic were eligible for grants of up to $10,000 or three-months of working capital, whichever was less. Governor Bullock announced last week...
I have tried really hard to find the silver lining in living with Covid, and I think I have finally found it! Masks should be mandated for cattle sorting! If the Governor does not mandate masks for cattle sorting, perhaps some organization like Crazy Peak Cattle Women or WIFE or some other women's ag group will recognize the value of ranching spouses wearing masks during fall sorting and begin to promote the concept. Let me explain my rationale for the cattle sorting mask mandate! Pre-conditioning, weaning, and shipping is th...
I have been thinking about my Grandpa Coons and about all of the things that he did that we, his grandkids, loved. I have written a story previously where I called him the greatest man that ever lived and I stand by that. Grandpa was born in 1879, so he was old when I knew him. I have always marveled that it is 2020 and my Grandpa, born in 1879, was a huge part of my life. What a span of years. Grandpa sang me songs and told me stories that related to what the slaves sang and at least one song that went back to the Revolution...
I have been reading with interest the news articles about the disruption of the US Postal Service over the last week. I rely on the USPS to deliver several of my life-saving medications. The latest attempts by Postmaster General DeJoy and the Trump Administration to disrupt our access to the mail may delay my latest delivery of medication. I am terrified of what that may mean for my health and wellbeing. Some of my most important medications are delivered by mail, including my high blood pressure and heart medications. As a...

There will not be an Annual Alzada Cowboy Poetry, Music and Art Show this year according to founders, Gay Arpan and Chris Maupin. The women who have produced the show since 1989 have decided to cancel due to COVID-19 concerns, noting that seating arrangements can not be made to accommodate health guidelines inside the Alzada Community Hall. The show is traditionally held on the first Sunday in October and has always attracted a sizable crowd that fills the hall. When the Alzada Community Club organized the first show to...

He has been a football coach, business teacher, and has spent the last 16 years of his career in...
