It is that time of year where you start to uncover the BBQ and clean off your deck. Everyone is looking for a new and exciting BBQ recipe. We had a reader, Alice, from New Jersey send in a recipe for rack of wombat. I had to Google what a wombat was, and they don't live in New Jersey. She wrote to me explaining that in 2000 to 2002 near Jackson there was a zoo. Every now and then an animal would escape. One year a wombat got out and Alice shot it thinking it was a big rat. New Jersey is known for their big rats. There are a lot of people that g...

April 12th 1864, 159 years ago: The American Civil War begins. Montana would not become a territory until three years later and played little role in the Civil War itself. Despite this, several Montanans enlisted in Union regiments during this time, and a company of "Galvanized Yankees," primarily made up of former prisoners of war, were stationed at Fort Benton.

He was r...

Q: What is a subwoofer and why do I want one? The short answer is that a subwoofer generates low-frequency sound in music or movies. But what does that mean? All sounds can be measured by their frequency. The higher the frequency, the higher the pitch. Sounds like high hats, cymbals, and the spoken letters T or S are high frequency. Because the sound waves happen so fast they are close together. This means that the speaker that makes those sounds is usually small. These small speakers are...

Eventually, spring weather will be here, and with all the snow, hopefully, plenty of water for the warm months. That also means the trees and flowers will be ready to grow with the sunshine. We see plenty of students when the weather changes with allergy symptoms: red, itchy, or watery eyes, sneezing, nasal drainage, and fatigue. If you know your child struggles at this time of the year with these symptoms, start appropriate medications to manage them. If your child has these symptoms, but you’ve never talked to your provider about allergies, t...

"Currently, my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in my room such as at different tables, sitting under tables with clipboards, or sitting or...

Listen to the tales of your fellow storytellers, and vote on your favorites. The best stories get prizes, all for free! The ghost story...
Hunters in Montana, along with Fish, Wildlife & Parks, are concerned about declining mule deer populations in much of the state. In response to this concern, FWP is embarking on research efforts to look into the declines and engage hunters about their attitudes on mule deer management and hunting. Mule deer numbers have typically been tracked over large areas using aerial surveys and declines can be attributed to several different things including winterkill, short-term habitat changes, like those that result from drought to potentially...
In 2017, the public lost 1,470 acres of wilderness-quality land at the base of Mount Sopris near Aspen, Colorado. For decades, people had hiked and hunted on the Sopris land, yet the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) handed it over to Leslie Wexner, former CEO of Victoria's Secret and other corporations, at his request. The so-called "equivalent terrain" he offered in return was no match for access to trails at the base of the 13,000-foot mountain. This ill-considered trade reveals how land manage...
Cinco de Mayo is a festive occasion that celebrates Mexican culture and food. Cinco de Mayo commemorates a minor Mexican victory over France that took place on May 5, 1862 at the Battle of Puebla. While it has never been a big deal in Mexico and especially in comparison to celebrations of Mexico's independence Cinco de Mayo has become a festive phenomenon north of the border. When it comes to food and beverage, many people see Cinco de Mayo as an excuse to indulge in a few margaritas and dine...

April, Part II In 1897, April was ending with similarities and some definite differences to events in the current day. Macedonia was being invaded by Grecian insurgents; Theodore Roosevelt was nominated to be assistant secretary of the Navy; the second fastest boat in the world, the torpedo boat No. 3 went 25 knots an hour on its trial voyage; hogs arriving at the Chicago stockyards in March were averaging 8 pounds lighter than February and 16 pounds lighter than the previous year; severe floodi...
