Funny, isn't it, how something suddenly triggers a memory that you haven't thought of in years? Such was the case when I was working the 2020 Census. Part of the area I surveyed was the Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation. One day I entered the reservation via Taylor Road on the east side. Much later in the day, I left the area at Box Elder. Turning onto Highway 87, I glanced to my right and then I saw it. A floodgate of memories deluged my innermost being. I pulled over and wept....
by Jason Stahl University of Montana Teresa Violett was outside her house in Chester painting the cement foundation when she heard the sirens. It was Saturday, Sept. 25. The retired teacher had lived in Liberty County for 38 years, and she knew what each siren meant: The first one, for a scheduled meeting. The second, for ambulance. The third, for fire. But when a fourth sounded, Violett paused in her painting and looked up. In all her years, she'd never heard a fourth siren s...

Out our way, it is sometimes easy to get turned around when you are in unfamiliar territory. Now, Charlie knew the area well, so as long as I followed him, I never had to worry about getting lost. But there were times when we were checking for strays before a major push to new grazing land that we separated and I was on my own. Now, one thing I learned working on Tiger Ridge is that there are numerous cattle trails going every which way, and just because one looks easy and...

Was fun to see a KISS stolen in downtown favorite store. An older man turned quick away - in case they kissed some more. You should have seen the joy they shared, as swiftly they did part.

Two friends just lost their precious spouse, but when God calls, one goes. Sickness, disease - fast...
By Matthew Brown Associated Press BILLINGS — U.S. officials announced Wednesday approval of a conservation group’s proposal to expand bison grazing on prairies in north-central Montana as part of a vast nature reserve over objections from some ranchers and elected officials.
