On Tuesday, November 6, Montana's General Election will be held in which Judge Yvonne Laird and Glasgow Attorney Peter Helland will be on the ballot for the position of Montana District 17 Court Judge. This race is non-partisan and in the primary election last June, Laird received 2,570 votes and Helland 2,505 votes, according to the Glasgow Courier. Both candidates were in the primary election, reasonably unnecessary as both Laird and Helland will be on the ballot for November's general...
Among the many hats I wore during my years at the Chronicle was that of fashion editor. Other than being in charge of the annual swimsuit issue, all it really meant was that any fashion-related mail sent to the paper was directed my way. That’s still somewhat the case. Probably a third of the e-mails I receive tout some new fabric or item of clothing. I usually pay them little attention, but a recent promotion for camouflage gear caught my eye. Apparently camo’s not just for hunters and red...
It's hard being addicted to food. Being a premature child, I was pretty skinny until the age of seven. I think I know how that all changed; my late Godmother. When I was about six or seven, it was because of her that I ate my first Big Mac and then five minutes later, my second Big Mac. It was an experience that changed my life forever. She used to take us to all kinds of restaurants, movies, and other fun places. After eating those Big Macs, it seemed that my appetite for junk food grew and tho...

Both events and the monies they raised followed the Ki...

The weather has certainly changed to its fall mode. Temperatures are down and we are continuing to get little rain showers. So far, we have not had a hard frost, and today I was standing looking out my kitchen window and the yellow leaves were gently falling and blowing across the lawn. Sorry that some of the farmers have not been able to finish harvesting yet and have green spots that need some more sunlight. We are happy that we are still having warm days by afternoon yet. The school kids are...

Workshops make up the bulk of these conferences and Karla Sudbrack and I were able to attend many of the sessions. Learning about good and bad design, historic preservation, using non...

Soon the first official day of fall will arrive! The cottonwood tree leaves are turning golden but no frost yet! The songbirds are stopping in droves to grab a bit of nutrition from our trees and sunflowers. The robins are using the bird bath all day long! They aren't the least bit modest! Loring was blessed by a little rain again on the weekend! Every little bit helps to reduce the fire danger and makes the grass happier! The storm in North Carolina reminds me of how fortunate we are here. No h...

This class is free, open to all ages, and will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Valley Event Center upstairs mezzanine.

Jim Hansen, FWP’s Central Flyway Migratory Bird Coordinator from Billings and other FWP staff will present a video, i...
