The plans included community members making wreaths that would be sold after the open house. Six beautiful wreaths were displayed. After the open house wound down, i...

Children and grandchildren could have the opportunity to participate in the management of a family business or they could finance their education using assets gifted from family members. Grandparents and parents can experience satisfaction seeing how the recipients use the monetary gifts. Accord...

“The Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) is pleased that a federal court has issued an order granting a nationwide preliminary injunction against implementation of CMS’s vaccine mandate for health care workers, particularly in light of its legal shortcomings and the dire impact it would have on frontier states like Montana. With the court’s decision, House Bill 702, which makes discrimination on the basis of vaccination status unlawful, remains the law in Montana. Thus, Montana health care facilities cannot require staff to b...

John F. Stoddard entered the Armed Services in 1917. John Frank ( his middle name was actually Francis) was immediately shipped off, via New York Harbor, in early June of that same year, along with thousands of other boys from this great nation. Born in neighboring Waterloo in 1901, John Frank, having grown up in rural Iowa, had never even thought about joining the Army before. He was used to rising early, working the family farm from sunup to sundown, and going to bed when it got dark. The begi...

Game wardens with Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks are seeking information on two elk that were dumped near Gallatin Gateway Sunday morning. Carcasses from a cow elk and a bull elk with the antlers cut off were found dumped on the south side of Axtell Anceny Road on state land, about 4 miles west of Gallatin Gateway. The hindquarters and tenderloins from the bull were still attached to the carcass and left to waste. Reports from hunters and ranchers in the area indicate the elk were likely dumped around 7 a.m. on Sunday. Hunters are prohibited fr...
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is looking at a handful of new strategies to better manage elk populations and improve quality hunting opportunities on public lands.

Currently, 14 hunting districts are at least 200 percent above population objectives. Data also show an overcrowding of elk populations on private land, limiting...
Just in time for holiday travel, the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) and Jim Gilman Excavating are excited to announce the formal completion of construction on the I-15/I-90 Interchange Project outside Butte. The roadway is open with fresh pavement, LED lighting, and guardrail improvements. Work on I-15 and I-90 in Butte was part of MDT’s efforts for Pavement Preservation, which ensures good roads remain good, as roads in bad shape require a lot more money, time, and resources to fix. “With harsh winters and heavy traffic in the summ...
The holiday season is in full swing, and retailers are tempting consumers with Christmas specials. I swear, the more I’ve aged, the margin for advertising has broadened wider and wider. Will we see Christmas in July at some point? Now I’m not opposed to celebrating holidays all year round; in fact, I suggest that celebrating Christ-like virtues personally in our lives is for all 365 days in the year. A little less consumerism might be nice. So in the spirit of Christmas, another virtue worth discussing, is being gift-full, and yes, it’s a wor...
