The reconstruction of a portion of State Highway 191 between Malta and Whitewater is near completion and ahead of schedule. “Technically we have to chip it next year,” said Squeak Tihista, Project Manager from the Montana Department of Transportation. “But it was actually a two-year job. There is still some stuff to do, but it is coming along nicely. It’s been going along very nicely. Aside from a little rain here and there slowing us down, it has been good.” The project started in March of this...

The sauce will be hot, the beans bodacious and the toppings piled high.

Since about 2001, the Giblette’s have been welcoming young guests to pace through their pumpkin patch in Malta while perusing for what the children hope will soon be converted into the perfect jack-o’-lantern.

Whenever I hear Huey Lewis singing The Heart of Rock ‘n’ Roll, I see a grizzly bear. He’s got his head up and he’s walking out of the timber toward me. It was 1984 and I was working construction at the appropriately named Silver Tip Ranch which sits on Slough Creek just north of Yellowstone Park. The main lodge at the ranch was being extensively remodeled. I was building a stone chimney in the kitchen and had taken a break to visit with the carpenters, who were set up in front of the lodge....
Gun violence has been a big topic of discussion in the media and politics as of late. The Obama administration has been calling for tighter and tighter regulations again firearms. In my opinion, if everyone was allowed to carry a gun, there would be far fewer mass tragedies. I feel like the media blames the gun, but I blame the media. Think about it… the shooter is getting instant fame, regardless of how sick and tragic the acts they commit are. If we as a people were all armed, including teachers, I know the kids like Adam Lanza would never h...
Last week I started to monologue about how I wasn’t involved in nearly anything during my high school career and how I traveled back to my hometown to participate in my ten year reunion.

I regret not playing football, basketball or even trying out for track. I regret not trying to make efforts to hang out wit...

From the American Counseling Association Team Up For Success In Creating A Healthier Life It would be nice if parents could control everything about their children. You know, just for a little while, say maybe until they're 30. But, of course, that's not the way life works. Growing up means learning to be more independent, to take responsibility and, sometimes, to even make mistakes. While we want to protect our children, it's also important that we give them room to grow and develop. One of the hardest places to give kids space is when you...
