The recent spate of headlines about grizzly bear attacks and human-bear conflicts highlights the need for the federal government to return management of grizzlies to the State of Montana. Grizzly bears are still listed under the federal Engendered Species Act despite their populations having been recovered, robust, and growing in both the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) and the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem (NCDE) for years now.

A couple of years ago, we stopped at Stageline Pizza to get dinner before attending a Three Forks High School Football game. This was the first time we ordered the "Moose" pizza, and I'm thrilled we made that decision; it has been our go-to order since. Something unique about the combination of garlic and jalapenos makes me not want to order another pizza on the menu. If I find something I like at a restaurant, I don't need to try anything else. Perhaps this is close-minded thinking, but I don't... Full story

It turned out that a rushed, overly keen reporter had failed to check the names and wrote the mistaken headline. It was an unusual chance to see his life as others saw it, and Alfred was stunned to find out he was... Full story

Following a 46-8 loss that broke a five-game win streak on October 6 at Manhattan, Three Forks High School Football Head Coach Connor Sullivan said the message he gave the team is one loss doesn't define who they are and what they've built.

I have to do a better job of getting these kids ready to go in (big) games like that.... Full story
