George has worked many hours during his 90 years – and still puts in 10-hours a day, six days a week – but he admitted last week that he is not as spry as he once was. "At this point, Ric (his oldest son) manages everything and I am the official coffee maker," George said with a wink and a nod. These day... Full story

Belle Fourche Pipieline Co., also owned by True Oil, spilled more than 270,000 gallons of oil over the same period....
The first rule of writing a weekly newspaper column is that you never look back. Last week’s rant was what it was, as was the week’s before. Once I’ve hit 500 words for this column during the week, and I think I’ve made some kind of point without turning 2,000 people irate, I mark it on the scorecard as “par” and move on to the next hole. It’s 14 inches of newsprint that I need to fill on the right hand side of this page each week and sometimes it is a pain. In two weeks, I celebrate the one-year mark as the publisher of this county’s news...

The sage grouse 'listing' saga continues unabated in Montana. To date the many working groups, advisory boards, committees, etc. have spent hundreds of hours and tens of thousands of dollars on this issue. Why? Because the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is threatening to list the bird as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The ESA defines a 'threatened species' as, "any species which is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future..." and an 'endangered species' as, "any species which is...
