Hunter success dipped at check stations in Hysham and Ashland on Sunday, but hunters were still happy and encountering wildlife. "Historically, we see the percent of hunters with deer/elk/antelope to be around 60 percent on the third weekend of the general season, but 51 percent was observed this year," said Steve Atwood, area wildlife biologist for Fish, Wildlife and Parks Region 7, who coordinated the Hysham check station. "Despite the lower success rate overall, hunters...
In September of 2017, it came to some from the CCHS Class of 1978's attention that they were edging close to 40 years since their high school graduation. Social media made it possible for the group to gather and brainstorm fun ways to observe this milestone. Traveling to Ekalaka for the Days of '85 was decided upon. However, the class didn't know they would be experiencing such a hot weekend. Friday night some were able to chat and enjoy the music provided by the street dance...

BOZEMAN – In an Amended Complaint filed today in district court, Roger Koopman and five co-Plaintiffs are suing the City of Bozeman for what they describe as “blatantly illegal, tax-funded political advocacy” in connection with the city’s recent campaign to pass the Bozeman Public Safety Center bond issue. The 28-page suit cites several sections of state law, including MCA 2-2-121, which states in part, “…a public officer or public official may not use public time, facilities, equipment, supplies, personnel, or funds to so...
"... by every rule of nomenclature, the Missouri being the main stream and the upper Mississippi the tributary, the name of the former should have been given precedence, and the great-river should have been called Missouri from the Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of Mexico." Many people, especially Montanans, agree with this unknown author's statement. However, the Mississippi was explored first and thus designated the primary stem, leaving the Missouri to receive tributary...
This morning, Brice and I were remembering a particular Thanksgiving 32 or 33 years ago. In Billings I had been able to buy a fresh turkey, delivered to my door by a turkey farmer. The birds were very tender. In Ekalaka, Doug Bonsell raised turkeys. I ordered a small one, 12-15 pounds. When it came to the house it had grown, grown to 21 pounds! It had to be washed in the bathtub! Would it even fit in the roaster or the oven? It got wedged in the roaster, and with all the other racks removed, set on the lowest rack in the...
Hello, It seems to me that the world is spinning faster than it used to. I suppose that happens as you age. You just write about the fourth of July and it's Veteran's Day. Then finish an article and it's Thanksgiving. Then Christmas pops up. I think I'm going to fly off! I had an interesting week. Was invited to read a few columns and give a little talk at a nursing home in Garrison. I haven't been to Garrison since the late sixties I would guess. And as they say, if you remember the sixties, you weren't there. Anyway, I...
Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, this month [on the 22nd] the full moon is called the Beaver Moon and according to folklore, that’s when the beavers become active while preparing for winter. A friend also mentioned that November’s Full Moon might also be called the Frosty Moon and some years that is for sure, but we’ll wait and see for this year! In the still of the evening, the blue of the sky is as no artist can capture. The moon peeks through naked trees and seems to wink and grin as a long, slim cloud wipes a...
