It's been years of planning, discussion and sweat to get a dream to come to reality. Skip Erickson has had a vision of a wildlife exhibit that would not only show some of his prized hunting trophies, but help teach and educate children and the public on habitats, animals and conservation. While the Children's Museum of Northeast Montana has helped house 50 kids in June for two art camps, two science camps and a backyard explorer camp, work has continued on the wildlife exhibit that will be a...

“We're trying to teach people how you care for animals is how you end up treating humans,” Jean Atthouse, one of the founders of the Montana Spay/Neuter Task Force said. The task force is making another round to Glasgow on Friday, July 18, and Saturday, July 19. They'll show up at the Valley Event Center from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. with one main mission in mind, to spay or neuter cats and dogs that wouldn't normally get a vet visit. While that's their main goal in mind, they actually hope that the people learn to care and have more compassion for...

Heads will be turning towards Billings on July 14-15 as discussion on a bison conservation and management plan for Montana take place. A public meeting was cancelled a few months ago in Lewistown, not long after ranchers pledged to turn out to the meeting in large numbers in opposition.

The meeting is open to the public and will be at the Big Horn Resort starting at 10 a.m. and ending at...
I always look forward to the Fourth of July festivities in Hinsdale. It's a day that can be enjoyed by young and old alike. The parade is one of the better small town parades one can find anywhere, and it had more than 50 entries this year. It's sometime a little disappointing when there is a lack of horses in any Western parade, but Tom and Joy See always take care of that when they bring their team of Fjord horses and stylish carriage to town. The Hinsdale FFA won the grand prize for all... Full story
Like everyone else, I constantly have choices to make. Some choices are easy because the right and wrong are clear. But some are shadowed in doubt. There are choices that can be made in an instant and then there are others that take hours or days or weeks. Make the right choice and the results are awesome. Make the wrong choice and the consequences have the potential to be major. The right choice can lead me to a better life and bring joy to more people than I know, but most definitely to the ones I love the most. A wrong choice will bring hear...
You've probably heard someone complain about the government in your lifetime. If you're reading this paper, it also probably means you try to pay at least some attention to what's going on around you.

When the nation was in it's early turmoil, much of the complaints of the British government were spread through pamphlets and newsletters. It was the power of opinion and the power of the...

The dream started in the fifth grade. That's when Tuff Harris began playing football, and that's when he knew that he would play in the NFL. At the time, he told his friends on the playground of his lofty goal. A goal that would be challenging for anyone to accomplish, and even more so for a kid who lived on the Crow Indian Reservation near Lodge Grass, Montana. The dream almost ended before it even began for Tuff. Born on January 23, 1983, Chester David Harris almost didn't make it out of... Full story

It was all thrills, spills and chills at the 35th annual Milk River Cowboys Association Rodeo held last Thursday in Hinsdale. It was also perfect weather with no threat of rain. We had a southwesterly breeze blowing which blew the bugs back to Saco where they belong but the announcers, Myron Malnaa and Chris Christensen along with timers Tanya Funk and Jan Marshal got a tad-bit choked-up by the dust created in the arena. There was a near record crowd in attendance but the competitors in a...
It looks like the race for the top spot in the Eastern A division will come down to the final games as the Glasgow Reds and Laurel are neck and neck heading into the final few games of the season. After losing their first game against Laurel last week, the Reds have strung together another winning streak that reached eight games after a doubleheader victory over Lewiston Tuesday night in Glasgow.

In this photo taken in 1906, bartenders Mike Allen and John Purcell are possibly helping the unidentified men toast to Independence Day at the Coleville Hotel. Purcell came out to homestead in the area after he was told by Kid Curry of the Wild Bunch that a young man of 19 should not be tending bar. He continued tending bar and eventually convinced a young woman who was passing through to stay and cook for the Coleman Hotel in 1907. Her name was Mary Hermansen. They married in... Full story
