Hill County Weed District Supervisor Terry Turner said he has perked the interest of an invasive plant publication editor and hopes for an article on the Hill County weed problem in a national magazine. At best, Turner said, the attention might lead to receiving money to spray against noxious weeds and at the least, a “huge article in a national magazine.” Turner told Beaver Creek Park Board members Monday night at the board’s monthly meeting that he had spoken to Celestine Duncan, who is listed as the editor of TechL...
For the first time since it started in 2004, the H. Earl Clack and Margaret Turner Clack Museum Foundation will not hold their popular Hands on History fundraiser this year and will instead raise money with an equipment rodeo. H. Earl Clack Memorial Museum Board Chair Judi Dritshulas said the Foundation opted to forgo Hands on History after Allison Keeley, a Foundation member and one of its chief organizers, died in December. “She passed away right after Christmas, and I guess everyone was just so deflated,” Dritchulus sai...

Editor: Republicans, like Greg Gianforte, say they are all about a “right to life.” But their recent efforts to repeal Obamacare prove how dishonest they are. The recent plan to replace Obamacare that Trump and congressional Republicans proposed would have dramatically cut taxes for the rich while raising costs for everyone else, making health care unaffordable not only to the poor but to many in the middle class. To put it in blunt terms, it would have killed people that Obamacare is now giving lifesaving care to. I don...

When Michael Jordan hit the famous shot to beat Georgetown in the 1982 NCAA national championship game, I was but seven years old. But, I still remember it like it was yesterday. That night was the birth of me being a North Carolina Tar Heels fan — and I’ve been a rabid, diehard Heel’s fan ever since. So, you can imagine Monday night was a big night for me. It was, the sixth time I’ve watched perhaps the sports team I’m most passionate about outside of Griz football,...

After 2016, when cattle prices dropped to as low as half the prices seen the previous two years, cattle producers are working their way through a typical weather-diverse Montana winter and spring to get calves on the ground safely and start the progress to the sale market again. Though calving season most often starts in January or early February for the purebred cattle breeders, Klint and Lori Swanson of Shipwheel Cattle Co. south of Chinook wait until March, calving their he...
