  • Op-Ed CI-121: Putting Communities & Family Farms At Risk

    WALTER SCHWEITZER, Montana Farmers Union President|Apr 20, 2022

    Know the consequences before signing the petition to put CI-121 on the November ballot. At face value, CI-121 and freezing your residential property taxes may sound like a good idea. But if you further investigate the details of this misleading ballot initiative, you will find several adverse consequences. What is CI-121? It is a ballot initiative proposing a constitutional amendment that would freeze residential property value at the 2019 level and changes the assessed value to the acquisition value when purchased. This concept is not new and...

  • Op-Ed Wildlife Fauxtography

    TED WILLIAMS, Writers on the Range|Apr 20, 2022

    I’m disgusted with American journalism. It’s boring. I blame editors for assigning uninteresting stories, and people interviewed for being evasive. So, for a modest fee, I provide journalists with stories that could have happened and quotes that should have been uttered. Contact me at CustomFacts.org. None of the above is true. But if it got your attention, recall that in most forms of journalism, lies are frowned upon. Not so with wildlife photojournalism. Liars dominate. This galls me because I work with so many honest wildlife pho...

  • Op-Ed Protect Our Parks: Invest in Infrastructure, Don't Limit Public Access

    RYAN ZINKE, Montana First Congressional District Candidate|Apr 20, 2022

    National Park Week begins Saturday, April 16th, a timely reminder to get outdoors and appreciate the beauty that God bestowed upon our country and in particular, Montana. Our National Parks system has been hailed as America’s “best idea” and it’s easy to see why when you ascend Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier, or experience the power of Old Faithful in Yellowstone. Theodore Roosevelt’s vision of our National Parks, as inscribed in stone on the gate of Yellowstone, was “For the benefit and enjoyment of the people.” Washington, DC must keep thi...

  • FWP Fixing Error in Drawing Process for Elk Permits

    MORGAN E. JACOBSEN, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks|Apr 20, 2022

    After deer and elk permits were drawn Thursday, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks uncovered an error in the drawing process affecting less than three percent of applications across the state in 10 hunting districts. This year the Fish and Wildlife Commission changed several elk hunting districts to “first and only choice” for applications, meaning if hunters want to hunt any of these districts, they forfeit the option to list a second or third choice on their application. Due to an error in the current licensing system regarding “first and only...

  • COUSIN CLEAVON'S REDNECK COOKING: Venomous Nope Rope Bake

    Cousin Cleavon|Apr 20, 2022

    Rattlesnake is one of the easiest meats to acquire. You can normally find them on the road during the summer. Rattlesnakes love warm places, because they are cold-blooded, just like my ex-wife. There are only two ways to get rattlesnakes, one is to find them dead on the road, and the other is to shoot them. If you acquire a snake on the road, throw a handful of rocks at it, to double check if the snake is alive. No one wants a snake to jump at them, any more than a spider over your head. As...

  • Creating Fiction from History: 4/20/2022

    CHARLES HADDON SHANK|Apr 20, 2022

    The announcements had been sent out! Miss Jane Lippincot, daughter of Joseph and Mary Lippincot of St. Joseph, Missouri was to be wed to Richard Duane Journeyman, son of Everard and Janice Journeyman of St. Louis, Missouri. The date for the blessed event had been set for May 1, 1921. The ceremony was to take place at the Basilica of St. Louis, King of France. Joseph and Mary had been looking forward to this day for over 20 years now and it seemed their dreams were soon to come to fruition!...
