In small towns across America there may not be anything that brings the community together in unison more than high school sports. Whether it be a huge crowd under the Friday Night Lights or a rivalry basketball game, the sporting events are a rallying cry that give residents an opportunity to not only support the school, but to have a sense of pride in their town. This week the two high school basketball teams will be traveling to Belgrade to participate in the 5B District Tournament. While...
In the days after the Super Bowl social media was on fire and it wasn’t about the actual game that just so happened to be probably the least exciting championship affair in recent memory. Instead of talk about how the Patriots defense played or how the Rams had trouble getting a first down, it was instead about the Super Bowl Halftime show and Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine. While the ladies at my house may have swooned a bit when he removed his shirt, 99 percent of what I read was negative a...

The Missouri Headwaters State Park in Three Forks is a popular destination for both locals and tourists. A proposed bill in the Montana State Legislature would remove the park from the Primitive Parks Act which would allow for upgrades and be a boon for the site utilized by so many. Senate Bill 70 would allow the state park to provide better connectivity to the trail system, the paving of campground access sites, electrical services options for individual campsites, and bike-in/canoe campsites. While it is certainly important not to over...
The past few days of below zero temperatures reminded me of growing up in what is known as the "high desert" of Wyoming. It is full of wide-open spaces and plenty of outdoor opportunities and also has some cold temperatures during the winter months. Even more so than the temperatures, I grew up with biting winds that could make even a fair day feel awful. Over the past week I have seen multiple news reports of the crippling cold front that hit the Midwest with the force of a Mike Tyson punch...

A few years ago, my mother Janet retired after working many years at a coal fired power plant in Wyoming. While it was a great job with outstanding benefits, she was very eager to move on with her life. While many people have an elaborate list of things, they want to accomplish during retirement she kept it pretty simple. There would be a little bit of traveling, organizing her 40 year's worth of recipes, spending time with family and her dog Bella Mia and wine. After seeing her make the daily c...
Going into last Thursday's conference matchup against Whitehall, Three Forks High School boys basketball coach Terry Hauser felt his team had a great week of practice.

We expressed the love that we have for each other and how much better we will be if their hearts are full," Hauser said. The Wolves responded from the setback in impressive fashion and pick...
I'm a little late to the party for a "New Year's" column, but there are certainly some things I would like to see unfold a little bit different in 2019. Don't get me wrong, I'm completely happy with my life, I would just like to see few minor things changed in 2019. I would love to say that the year will see people start using their phones a little less, but I know that is never going to happen and I'm sure I'll probably once again miss a few huge touchdowns or three pointers because I was...
