The fate of the Hill County Health Department's wages seems uncertain after a tense meeting between department employees and the county commission Monday morning. After once again being asked about using grant funding to address the issue, Hill County Health Department Public Health Director and Hill County Public Health Officer Kim Berg said that can't solve the department's problem. "I don't know what else I can give you," she said. "Our staff is down to half, I mean I...
The Havre Senior Center will host the Hill County Conservation District’s Emma Korntheuer Wednesday to give an “Invasive Species vs. Hi-Line” presentation from 1 to 2 p.m. Wednesday at the Havre Senior Center. Korntheuer said the presentation will cover various invasive species, how they become invasive, and what impact they can have in the area if left unchecked. She said they will cover a number of plant and animal species, particularly the eastern heath snail, which can reduce crop yield and quality, contaminate fruits, ve...
from Byron Ophus This was the 11th weekend that Bear Paw has been opened this year. Last year the Hill was opened for three or four weekends. There is some argument about the total weekends last year, but needless to say this has been a far better year. Wouldn’t it be nice if the snowfall came consistently year after year, but that’s not the way Mother Nature works. Bear Paw enthusiasts know that a year like this must be appreciated. When volunteers have to dig snow from the deck, the ramps, Ice Station Zebra, and around the...
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Late winter and early spring is often a difficult time for wildlife. After using fat reserves through most of the winter, along with trying to find what food is available, many animals are at their most vulnerable at this time of year. And as we've all experienced, the winter of 2022-23 has been a tough, long winter with heavy snow and cold temperatures late into the year. That's why Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, along with the Bureau of...
Editor, The Republican party is in the process of destroying American democracy. Its organizers have infiltrated the highest echelons of state and federal government and have instigated acts of violence directed against elected officials. The threat is real and the target is the 2024 presidential election. Trump limped from the White House, roundly condemned for having instigated the insurrection Jan. 6 with the help of Republican lawmakers. The reality was stark and undeniable. Trump is a petty autocrat, willing to torch...
Editor, I was disappointed to hear that the health care focus in President Biden’s 2024 budget proposal is centered around implementing more government price controls and raising taxes on Americans. Our health care system needs work, but this type of policy should not be at the top of the priority list. Instead, President Biden and others should look into the practices of Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs). PBMs control a majority of the prescription medications people need in Montana and across the country with little to no o...
My husband, Peter, and I are staying in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, which is, according to a lot of folks, a tourist town. Sometimes, the person saying this means it is not a place they would want to spend time. This puzzles me. I’m not sure why a town known for meatpacking or manufacturing would be a better place to spend time than a town known for tourism. But I respect anyone’s right to spend time wherever they want, and Peter and I are happy in San Miguel, in large par...
As we come back after the break, we are beginning to see and hear many of the House bills that were moved to the Senate just before the transmittal deadline. I thought it might be helpful to recap just some of the types of bills we see over the course of the session. Many bills are agency requested legislation that cleans or fixes language in existing law. An example of one cleanup bill would be HB 266. An advisory council was set up for a concealed weapon permit back a few years ago. Now a bill has been passed to eliminate...
Montanans have long fought to make sure that hunting is available for all, equitably, and not just reserved for the wealthy and well-connected. This is so important that when many of us agreed to join — and some of us helped start — the Montana Citizens Elk Management Coalition (MCEMC), we made sure that this was paramount to our many goals. The group agreed, to the point that the “Who We Are” page of the website states, succinctly: “we are a diverse group of Montana hunters who seek to improve relations with landowner...
