The NorthEast Corner Committee, sponsors of the Indian Relay and Chariot races at the Phillips County Fair in Dodson, announced last week that the races will not be held this year due to COVID-19 concerns. In a letter to Wes KillEagle, who runs the races at the fair with his family, the NorthEast Corner Committee said they are in total support of the races as they promote positive activity, but because of the recent increase in COVID-19 cases in Montana, said that they recommend the events be...

American Prairie Reserve is pleased to expand public hunting opportunities on its deeded property for the fall 2020 season. The conservation organization is increasing public access in two ways, through enrolling more of its private land in the Block Management hunter access program managed by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP), and opening its newest property to limited elk hunting. According to Alison Fox, CEO of American Prairie Reserve, expanding public access and hunting on properties it acquires continue to be a top priority for the...
The national coronavirus death toll in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities is shocking and the stories are gut wrenching. More than 56,000 nursing home residents in the U.S. have died – some alone and afraid without a family member by their side. That’s 44% of all national COVID-19 related deaths, yet nursing home residents only make up 1% of the U.S. population. Here in Montana, there have been 13 deaths or 40% of total COVID-19 related deaths from an assisted living facility and most recently, from a memory care unit. As compare...
I’ve spent the past few months as I usually do – fishing and gardening and mowing grass. The tomatoes are coming on, as is the corn. The fish have been biting, and twice I’ve impaled myself with treble hooks. It’s almost life as normal. Almost. My son-in-law Elder is in quarantine after a co-worker at the restaurant in Livingston where he tends bar tested positive for covid. Now he’s out of work, both at the restaurant where he worked part time and at the warehouse where he worked fulltime...
E-gads! What an outcry from the people who refuse to wear masks. I hear ya, the choice is yours…but not really. Last week, Montana Governor Steve Bullock issued a mask mandate for certain counties in the state where there are four or more confirmed cases of COVID-19. Thankfully, and so far, that doesn’t include Phillips County where we do not have any cases at the time I am writing this. There are exemptions, for some, but at the end of the day, a mandate is, by definition, “an official order or commission to do something.” Now, nobody likes t...
I am sure many of you can relate to an instance where someone says something that can ruin your day. Well, it’s been over a week and I am still salty. I was covering a local event and was ready to tackle the day with a full head of steam, but within the first 30 minutes of working that day, I was called a racial slur by a man that was drunk. Does the drinking negate the behavior? I don’t think so. Does this person even remember his rant when he shouted two times, “He is an f-ing n*gge...

The Milk River is the lifeblood of north-central Montana. Not only does it provide essential irrigation, it provides important fisheries and wildlife habitat. However, recent failure of the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) water delivery structures on the St. Mary Canal near the North Fork of the Milk River may mean reliable water flow is in jeopardy this summer. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is working with BOR to monitor this situation and its potential impacts to Fresno and Nelson reservoirs and the Milk River drainage. On Sunday, May 17, the...

There have been quite a few changes to FWP law enforcement staff here in the last few months, but the public will still see many familiar faces. The changes began when Ron Howell, who had a been the warden captain at the regional headquarters in Glasgow for four years, accepted a position in Helena as the assistant chief of enforcement.

Despite not being able to welcome back many racers from Canada the Hi-Line Drag Strip was able to host over 80 cars last weekend as they hosted their annual Montana Drag Racing Association (MDRA) event. "They have the border closed for non-essential travel and racing is considered non-essential. So none of our Canadian friends can be here and that is a big chunk of our racers," Phillips County Motor Sports President Dan Stout said. It was the first PCMS race of the season and despite the...
