    Alex Ross|Updated Jan 17, 2017

    An informational meeting about a proposal to build a federally funded roundabout at the juncture of highways 200, 87 and 19 north of Grass Range — a roundabout opposed by some local officials — is scheduled for Wednesday 6 p.m at the Lewistown Community Center.

    Alex Ross|Updated Jan 17, 2017

    The H. Earl Clack Memorial Museum will be closed February as a way to deal with budget constraints, clean up the museum and revamp the displays. “We just do need that savings of that month like we used last year,” Museum Board Vice-Chair Val Hickman said. Last year, the museum was temporarily closed during January for the same reason. Hickman said that they were not able to close for January because they did not make the plans in December. Dritshulus said Clack Museum Manager Jim Spangelo will take vacation during that per...

    Updated Jan 17, 2017

    By Mark Fix Secretaries of the interior are called to be public stewards. On behalf of all Americans, they oversee our great national heritage of forests, grasslands, fisheries, national parks, wildlife, waterways and mineral wealth. Congressman Ryan Zinke, if approved for his nomination to that post, will have the opportunity to prove himself in the long line of great stewards that have preceded him. I wish him well, but there is cause for concern. Taxpayers at Risk During his last term in Congress, Rep. Zinke introduced leg...

And in a game that lived up to the hype, it was the T-Birds that walked away victorious, 70-64. The game between the 9C...
