Rain that falls on the slopes of Triple Divide Peak in Glacier National Park eventually flows to the Pacific, the Atlantic and which other ocean? Give up? Malta Elementary School fifth grade student Bridger Benton knew, and correctly answered "Arctic" on his way to the 2020 elementary school Geography Bee last Thursday. "I am excited," Benton said in his post win interview. Benton, who studied for the GeoBee much of the previous day and tied for first place in his classes' primary heat of the...
Hunters and anglers can expect a few changes this year when they buy their 2020 licenses starting March 1. The most visible change Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks customers will see is a change to license paper. Starting this year, both licenses and carcass tags will be printed on normal-sized paper, and license buyers will be able to print them at home. For years, FWP licenses and tags have been produced on weather-resistant paper. However, this paper is not only expensive, but requires printing technology so outdated that it’s almost i...
"Promise me, when you grow up, you'll use your brain instead of your back," a mother tells her daughter as they tiredly dig out a flooded ditch on the family farm.

USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) reminds historically underserved producers, who are participating in the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), of the advance payment option.

I’m a little torn. It’s so cold I have no interest in going outside. On the other hand, it’s cold, so it’s making ice and that means I should be outside -- fishing. I’ve never been much of an ice fisherman. It seems to require a lot of patience, of which I have little. But I own a cabin on a lake, and I have a friend of good Minnesota stock who revels in fishing through the ice. Mike has all the gear and all the knowledge so I have no excuse. He even sets me up so I can watch the tip-ups w...
So, I finally let the media hype get to me. Not the left vs right garbage that continues to divide us. I’m talking about the fires in Australia. By now, if you check social media daily or even weekly, you know that the fires in Australia have been pretty bad. According to some sites, which I hope are wrong, Australia has lost nearly one billion animals in these fires. The images were tough and even unbearable to see. I have only talked to my former bandmates a handful of times since I moved a...

This past week, I did some vacuuming and scrubbed walls in the rental building where MOI was located during the remodel on US Highway 2 and then got to watch Mr. Sargent’s Malta High School Weight Lifting Class empty out the building and move stuff to the remodeled building on South 3rd Street East near Albertsons. I am hoping to take some of the students from that class to Dairy Queen for ice cream, but unfortunately, I won’t be able to take them all because it would be too expensive. I hav...
