There was fun for all ages at the Whitehall Saddle Club's July O-Mok-See event....
Several new informational signs at Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park are warning visitors about the dangers of invasive plants like spotted knapweed. The signs inform guests that shoes can carry the seeds off invasive plants, and visitors are asked to remove or brush seeds and burrs off before entering and leaving the areas near the sign. According to Assistant Park Manager Tom Forwood Jr., noxious weeds are a high level concern and at Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park they spend thousands of...
Since 1949 Indiana University has maintained a geological station in the Tobacco Root Mountains because of the diverse geological setting found in Montana. The current Director is Bruce Douglas who has a PHD in Geology, has taught in this area for 31 years – 25 of which as the Academic Director and the last 3 years as the Director. He is quick to point out that it is because of the generosity of the local ranchers in allowing the students access onto their land that this program is so s...

This little tidbit is for Patti Hanley and Sally Kreis, both retired teachers from Cardwell School. They LOVE the MSU Bobcats. Five former Bobcats, Deonte, Matt, Tanner, Joe and Caleb and Rick - do those names sound familiar?- are serving the Lord in Bozeman and Great Falls. Four of them were part of the Conference that I attended in Bozeman at Grace Bible Church. When they were Bobcats, the team beat the Griz in Missoula! I Timothy 4:12 is a great testimony of their lives. “Let no man despise your youth, but an example to the believers in w...

Hi Folks, At our regular meeting last week we heard a quarterly report from Tom Harrington about our Tax Increment Finance Districts (TIFD). The North TIFD has seen a huge amount of growth so far this year. There have been several buildings constructed and others are started or planned. The South TIFD is also getting busy. LGT, the wind developers we have been working with have decided to sell their testing facility in Missoula and move everything to the Sunlight Business Park. Plans are underway for the construction of a 4000 square foot...
The sun had just begun its orb illuminating 'Nature's Tapestry.' From the muted blue of the mountains, to the yellow, gold and green of the rolling fields, to the variegated greens of the trees, to a silver accent of the irrigation lines to a shining blue thread winding through the picture which was capped by the clear blue of the sky above only dotted with the back silhouettes of a gaggle of Canadian Snow Geese on their flight, this magnificent Montana tapestry surrounded the seeker as they...
Going into last week's American Legion Montana/Alberta South A Division Tournament in Butte, the Gallatin Valley Outlaws were well aware they would already have a spot at state because it is being played at their home field in Three Forks. It turns out they would have qualified anyway after a second place finish at 3 Legends Stadium. The Outlaws opened the tournament with a 18-6 win Thursday over Livingston and a 7-0 win Friday evening over the Helena Reps. After dropping a 10-0 game Saturday ag...
The myth of meth is that following the crackdown on over-the-counter ingredients in 2005 things got better in Montana. But on the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation, people will tell you different Here it never really went away. "Getting high in your car in front of the store - that ain't a big deal," said Miranda Kirk. "Leaving your paraphernalia out in the open for someone to walk in - that's alright," said Kirk. "Having and seeing needles everywhere - that's ok. Even talking about selling your needles - that's normal too." Kirk, a 27-year-old m...
In a little over a month, the Whitehall/Harrison High School football season will take to the road to open their 2017 season. The Trojans open the season August 25 at Shepherd. After a bye week, Whitehall will open its home season September 8 against new division foe Red Lodge. “It’s nice having a non-conference game right off the bat. Shepherd had a good season last year in arguably the toughest conference,” head coach Dan Lacey said. “Red Lodge is going to be pretty young this year but Coach Fitzgerald is coming back to coach again and he...
This week is the last week of our summer programming. We finished summer reading with a “Build Your Own Sundae” and final store. It was a great program and we had almost 140 readers.
