The Carter County High School Bulldogs traveled to Bainville for a six-man football game last Saturday. Blue jumped out to an early lead and made a few good stops on defense.

Bainville, though, was able to score two times themselves, and the score at the end of the first quarter was CCHS 20, Bainville 14. In the second quarter, the heat started to take its toll on the Bulldogs. Junior back Caleb Fix had to come out of the game. He missed most...

Montana's crisis isn't too much water or hurricanes – it's fire. It's smoke filling Big Sky Country and filling our lungs, communities being evacuated, structures lost and tons of fuels just lying on the forest floor waiting for a spark to ignite. In this year alone, over 1,600 fires have burned over 1 million acres in Montana - that's nearly equivalent to the entirety of the state of Delaware being on fire. We are tired of being told that others know better than us while we w...
Hello, As I write this, hurricane Irma is winding down. Still pounding northern Florida and up into Georgia, but it appears the worst is over. I understand most of the areas shut down operations when the wind reaches 45 mph. That is right. 45 mph. I know the winds are dangerous, but if we shut down emergency services when the wind reached 45, there would be no use having ambulance or fire trucks in Harding County! I have several friends who live in Florida. Mostly in the Ft. Myers and Naples area. They often kid me about...

Texas and Louisiana have received too much wind and rain, as much as 51 inches from hurricane Harvey. It left whole flooded communities that are now trying to move back, clean up, and begin reconstruction. Another hurricane, Irma, flattened the Virgin Islands, Bahamas and then did heavy damage in Florida. The Eagle used to have a subscriber in the Virgin Islands; is she still there? Did flood waters leave mold, bacteria, or dangerous substances requiring masks and suits to protect skin — the kind of suits used for handling h...
