"I'm not afraid to die; I am only afraid of saying goodbye to you forever." Perhaps those weren't the exact words she heard, but they might have been. Less than two years ago, Twilla Johannesen said a final goodbye as the grip of cancer took her mom. Years of pain, medicine, treatments, and hope are all washed away as the final tear is wiped from the eye of your loved ones. It matters little whether the battle and agony has been for three months or ten years. Cancer wins. It is a road many of...

Those words just might be words you may not hear in the near future should you be in an accident. In the very near future.

As written by Moe to his sister, Gertie Dear Gertie, Old Charlie went on a toot last week; he got hisself thrown in the hoosegow. And me along with him. His wife warned him about those speak-easys on easy street. But Charlie, being Charlie, paid no attention to her. She told him,“If you end up in the slammer, I'm not going to bail you out. You can stay there until the cows come home as far as I'm concerned." Waking up in there along with Charlie,I had a humdinger of a headache. That rotgut they served there sure had a kick to it.

It’s hunting season in Montana. Get a clue. The first hunting camp I worked was deep in the Beartooth Mountains. After setting up the camp we left a young w...

This was the third weekend that the check station has been open, as the station began collecting data Oct. 8 and 9 for the opening weekend of pheasant and general antelope. “Hunter access to many areas was...
Another year of drought has prompted tough decisions for ranchers as they decide how many cattle they can feed over the winter. Last year’s drought forced many Montana ranchers to reduce their herd sizes because of challenging growing conditions and the high cost of hay. This year, similar conditions have dampened hopes of rebuilding herds in some parts of the state — leading agricultural economists to highlight considerations for ranchers as the days grow colder. From 2021 to 2022, Montana saw a reduction in its cattle inventory by 250...

The wind was in the low 50s with gusts of over 70 mph in Malta, and though Malta's offense struggled to score, Malta Head Coach Nick Oxarart didn't use it as an excuse. "Besides the 50 mph winds that limited a large part of our offense, Jefferson's size, strength and speed were ultimately what became too much to overcome on...
