  • Montana Park of the Week: Fish Creek State Park

    Mar 9, 2022

    This week's showcase is Fish Creek State Park! Fish Creek State is located conveniently off Interstate 90, about 41 miles west of Missoula, making it easily accessible to residents and travelers. From the lookout atop Williams Peak to the crystal-clear emerald pools of Fish Creek, this state park is full of wildlife, beautiful scenery, and places to explore. Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks first acquired ownership of Fish Creek a decade ago in 2010. However, the process of Fish Creek becoming...

  • Let's Not Squander the Miracle of Yellowstone

    TODD WILKINSON, Writers on the Range|Mar 9, 2022

    Yellowstone National Park turns 150 years old this month: a milestone truly worth celebrating. When Westerners think of Yellowstone, probably what comes to mind are its grizzlies, exploding geysers, wolf packs and bison traffic jams, not to mention bubbling, iridescent hot pools that attract swarms of visitors from all over the world. The park is a jewel of the Northern Rockies, but to this journalist who has covered its stories for 35 years, the real miracle of Yellowstone is its intricate world of wildlife. Yet any discussion of wildlife...

  • Tester: Increase Domestic Energy Production to Lower Costs at the Pump

    ROY LOEWENSTEIN, Office of Senator Tester|Mar 9, 2022

    U.S. Senator Jon Tester today urged the Biden Administration to immediately work to increase domestic energy production to protect consumers from spiking gasoline prices and reduce dependence on foreign oil and gas production in light of Russia’s unprovoked war with Ukraine. “As our nation unites to confront President Vladimir Putin’s reckless actions, strengthening our energy independence from enemies like Russia must be a priority,” wrote Tester in a letter to the Secretaries of Energy, State, and Interior. “I believe it is...

  • Montana Legislature: Bow and Deliver

    BRAD MOLINAR, Montana Senator, R Dist 28|Mar 9, 2022

    A tip of my Stetson to Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. Senator Joe Manchin for reminding me what political courage and a love of democracy looks like. The frontal attack on Montana’s 200,000 sportsmen and women has been unrelenting for over a year. The first legislative salvo was SB 143 which attempted to negate the Sportsman’s Initiative (I-161) passed by 189,000 sportsmen in 2010. I-161 removed the outfitter set aside for elk licenses. SB 143 expanded the number of outfitted clients to all who had applied but were not...

    I am pleased to announce my candidacy for re-election to continue my service to the citizens of House District 71 (Madison County and parts of Jefferson and Silver Bow Counties). It has been my honor to represent and advocate for you, not just during the session, but on an ongoing basis. In 2019, I campaigned that I would bring “common-sense conservative values” to my legislature. My primary issues that I focused on were: NATURAL RESOURCES • viable and sustainable agriculture economy • keep public lands public and promote multiple use...

  • Whitehall Schools Show No Lead; While Others Around State Suffer Dangerous Levels

    KATHERYN HOUGHTON, Kaiser Health News|Mar 9, 2022

    Editor’s Note: The Whitehall Ledger contacted Whitehall Schools Superintendent Hannah Nieskens about the below article, as several individuals had sent it to the paper, questioning what Whitehall’s lead rates were. “In fall 2021, Whitehall School Director of Maintenance, Scott Prevost, gathered water samples from all of the campus water fixtures and sent them to Bridger Analytical Lab for lead analysis; we received our results on January 28th. The results information has not yet shown up on the states’ DEQ website,” said Nieskens....

  • RECIPE OF THE WEEK: Cousin Cleavon's Poor Man's Potato Chips

    Cousin Cleavon|Mar 9, 2022

    Now you are asking yourself, what is a poor man`s potato chip? Well, it's crow's feet that are fried like a potato chip. It does sounds nuts, but it's my wife`s favorite snack during her time of the month. There are two ways I found to get the crows without destroying their delicate feet. One is to go to the local dump and shoot them with a shotgun. This way is beneficial to the county and you. The county does not have a murder of crows anymore and you may get to have free pickings to the metal...

  • Creating Fiction From History: 3/9/2022

    CHARLES HADDON SHANK|Mar 9, 2022

    “What can you tell us about the handsome young man in this old photograph?” As a professional researcher, Robert Lawton had gotten used to being accosted by random passersby with questions such as this. Robert would usually ask them to leave the photograph, their name, and number with him. “I’ll get back to you within a week; two at the very most,” he would say. Under normal circumstances, the new client would receive a call within a week, give or take, upon which they would often be...
