Don Richman has memories of the Blaine County Fair that span decades. As a child and later a teenager, he fondly remembers looking forward to the 20 mile drive from his family’s ranch in Harlem to the fairgrounds in what he jokingly refers to as “the big city” of Chinook. “As a kid, it was fun for me to watch the rodeo,” he said. “I was born on a ranch, and ranch kids love rodeo.” This year, however, Richman, an insurance agent and former Republican candidate for the Montana State Senate, is much more than a spectator.

Fort Belknap is in a state of shock after 18 bison were found dead in a pasture on the reservation. “It’s a tough deal,” said Mark Azure, chair of the tribal council. “Everybody is puzzled, shocked.” Nearly two years ago, the reservation cheered the arrival when FWP brought more bison back to the reservation. But now, 18 bison are dead under mysterious circumstances, and tribal officials are keeping a close eye on the remaining 39 bison in the herd. Azure said the bison were watered on Thursday, July 1.

Sky of Blue, Sea of Green; those words from the great American spiritual, “Yellow Submarine,” make me homesick for my Montana. What? Yes, of course, the song is originally English but so is much of our heritage which we call American. I like the idea of a yellow submarine bobbing through the seas of adversity.
