After 22 years as a state district judge in a three-county district, Judge John C. McKeon will hang up his robe in November. "I've tried to do my job studiously, hardworking and timely and confidently throughout this entire tenure," he said. For McKeon, the decision to retire as the district judge in Blaine, Phillips and Valley counties wasn't necessarily an easy one, but "it was just time." McKeon grew up in Malta, went to school at Gonzaga University and University of Montana, now lives in...
Both highlighting and punctuating Native American Week at Dodson last Thursday was a Pow Wow which featured over 20 dancers comprised of current and students and graduates.

Sept. 15 and it wasn’t unusual to have already experienced a snowstorm or two by then. A storm dumped two feet of snow on the mountains Sept. 9 when I was working for an outfitter in Cooke City in 1970. I’d never seen such a thing. One day it was summer and the next it wasn’t even close. Half of the horses ran off during the night. When it came time to take the hunters into camp on the 14th we had to borrow stock to fill out the string. I ended up riding a black mule. The critter had no withe...
It’s that time of year again when the nights and mornings get a little cooler the leaves start changing color and the elk are bugling. Soon, it will be time to break out the snow shovel and winter coat. The changing season also means that across Montana our students and teachers are back in the classroom. As a father of four and a product of Montana’s public schools from kindergarten at Longfellow Elementary School in Bozeman through college at Montana State University, I look forward to this time of year and the new beginnings and opp...
Dear Editor, Congratulations to the HiLine Retirement Center Board for replacing resigning current board members and choosing dynamic new members. Hopefully, the "new look committee" as referred to by Rick Mikkelson - resigning board president - will also be transparent. So important - the public has the right to know the HLRC's month to month financial activity - not to again to be called upon when a financial crisis appears for a bail out. Also the board meetings will be open to he public - as the center excepts Federal funds for operation....
A couple of weeks ago my wife Susan and I decided to go out of town. We thought maybe we would go to Billings. Then we changed our destination to Great Falls. About the time we got to Dodson, we decided that a drive to Great Falls would be too long and we changed it to a trip to Havre. It was a good trip. By some miracle our son decided to take a nap rather than make the loud and obnoxious noises that two year olds do when they are bored. We shopped around for a couple of hours and then we were about to head home, when I thought we should...
Whitewater News A study of the Swift Fox species (cute little grey and tan animals) is being conducted by Andrew Butler from Clemson University in South Carolina. He said that “the foxes migrated from Canada and are having trouble expanding further into Montana and trying to figure out why, is the main reason for the study.” He then said, “I have placed small cameras on fence posts in Blaine, Phillips and Valley Counties in Montana. From the pictures we can gather lots of information and follo...
