The Three Forks Area Ambulance service is in desperate need of volunteers. With their current number, board member Barbara Mutter has dire concerns with the size of the service area, the rise in population including southern Broadwater County, and how this could affect response times.

The Three Forks City Council adopted the amended Growth Policy Plan during its Sept. 13 meeting, after eight months of revisions and public input – but not without further additions. The motion to pass a resolution which would adopt the Growth Policy included the stipulation that a timetable for future review of the policy and a mention of the conditions of sand and gravel pits be added. Three Forks City Clerk Crystal Turner told The Voice that the changes came after a tip from another city clerk. “I was approached by another town’s clerk... Full story

We want to thank Martin Kimm and his family for giving us this opportunity to learn more about Ag, connect with other FFA members, and help in our... Full story
If there is one thing I learned from my Dad, it is always to write a personal thank you note to those who gave you a gift or someone who has done something kind or extraordinary for you. He always told me that a verbal thank you is never enough. I will always embrace that lesson. It has served me well. I was flying in a leadership position on my last London trip and had arrived about 5 hours before my crew briefing. I took a short nap, then sat down in the crew lounge to start writing thank you notes to my First Class passengers. All but one... Full story
I love to watch football and was a little more than fired up to watch the Denver Broncos open the NFL season with a Monday Night Football matchup at Seattle. It turns out it was a very bizarre game with an awful ending. Even worse, I had to listen to Troy Aikman and Joe Buck announce the game. Whenever I have to hear the duo, it is worse than nails screeching on my grade school chalkboard, and by around the second quarter, I need to put the game on mute to keep my sanity. It’s even worse when Buck is calling a baseball game. I don’t think I’v...

Following the game, Three Forks Head Coach Connor Sullivan said every team in the conference is good, and his squad needs to be ready to play four quarters. "Unfortunately for us, we played a quarter and a half tonight. That is on... Full story
It will be a busy week for the Three Forks High School volleyball team.

Edgewater Farms will open their doors for the fourth year on September 23. Many residents of Broadwater County and the surrounding areas have made this a fall tradition and co-owner Nancy Davis says that is what they hoped to create. "We want a place that children can spend 3 to 4 hours and not want to leave," Davis says, "A place that families can spend time together and never run out things to keep their interest." This year, opening weekend is going to be larger than in previous years. If... Full story
