Dear Editor, I am looking for information on the following people, two sleds who came off Golden Valley Road 5 miles southwest of Opheim on Jan. 28. Sheriff's office is aware of fence damage to run down a fox. I found the kill site where that critter drug his hind quarters for 60 to 80 feet before that moron finished the job. It's annoying that this critter can take anything nature can dish out just to be run down. $200 reward for each name. Contact Sheriff's Office with any info. Sincerely,...
Dear Editor, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (MTFWP) Director Martha Williams recently issued the department's decision on the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) that moves wild bison restoration planning forward in Montana. It was an ill-advised decision marinated in collusion with the environmental community and is viewed by prairie landowners as just another "let's stuff buffalo down their throats" campaign. The Director's decision begs this question from landowners: What part of "hell...
Dear Editor, During the 2019 Legislature, Gov. Steve Bullock, legislators, and Montanans across the Treasure State worked tirelessly to keep history alive in a variety of ways. Senate Bill 338, also known as the Montana Museums Act, is best known for providing a portion of the funds to build the new Montana Heritage Center. But the legislation also creates an ongoing historic preservation grant program for counties, incorporated cities or towns, tribal governments, associations and incorporated...
Dear Editor, Many wilderness advocates, scientists, and public land managers have long recognized the threat that excessive recreational use poses for Wilderness. Howard Zahniser, the Wilderness Act's author, warned over 50 years ago that Wilderness can be threatened "from development for recreation." He emphasized the need for humility and restraint in our dealing with Wilderness. The 1978 edition of Wilderness Management, the definitive professional tome on Wilderness management, summed it...
Can you name, or even remember, all of the service (gas) stations that existed just on 1st and 2nd Ave. So., in Glasgow? It takes very little effort for me to name, or at least remember locations of these stations. I am thinking of the stations just on Front and Main Street, but there were also many located on Highway 2 within the city limits. Aw, yes, service stations of the past. I would be happy to list those that come to mind, but I do know that I would miss several, so I will leave that to you. You were able to pull into your favorite...

This show is in conjunction with The Montana Actors’ Theatre and Quince Productions. “God Help Us!” a political comedy for our times.

I feel as though I don’t have much to talk about this week, but, being a woman, talk I will. We aren’t still in Florida, so there aren’t comparisons to be made between Montana and Florida flora. It’s a long time until spring returns, no matter what that groundhog (he’s a rodent, for heaven’s sake, not a meteorologist) says. The seed catalogs are showing up in droves in my mailbox, but I haven’t opened a single one. It’s much too early to start dreaming of days spent mucking in the dirt of my garden. I do have one more older amaryllis in bl...

Sweet Perfection! Griffin Claims State Title With Perfect Season Isabelle Griffin was not going to do speech and drama this year. After two silver medals at state her freshman and sophomore years, she was ranked fourth at state her junior year after losing a chance at a perfect season that same year in Sidney. Those losses made her think maybe pursuing a perfect season her senior year was not worth it. "This year I did not want to be in speech and drama," recounted the now state champ. That...
