American Prairie is pleased to announce that once again no evidence of clinical disease was found in its bison herd. The animals were tested under the expanded protocols agreed to earlier this year with the Phillips County Conservation District, and as part of the agreement, the Montana-based nonprofit also shared the full results with the Conservation District board prior to its March 9, 2021 meeting. In January 2021, an adjustment board appointed by the state Department of Natural Resources and Conservation unanimously approved a new bison...
We really had an outbreak of Covid at the Capitol this week!!! Now, no mind games. Read the whole story. The US government, via the American Rescue Plan (ARP) is planning on sending lots of money to Montana. Stop the printing presses. However, since the Montana legislature is in session for this round of relief, as opposed to previous stimulus measures, everything that is not earmarked will need to be allocated -- amounts ranging from $900 million to $1.2 billion. The 67th legislature has two bills (HB 632 and SB 297) moving through the system...
The Great Plains Dinosaur Museum (GPDM) is very excited to announce the summer arrival of one of the most recognizable dinosaurs in the world. A Triceratops! He goes by the name of "Herb" and he is a cast of the famous Triceratops on display at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, New York. This cast is coming to the GPDM by way of the "extreme kindness and generosity" of the Witte Museum in San Antonio, Texas. "Herb", named so because the Triceratops is an herbivore, lived...

Happy spring! Now the mixed-up winter weather will hit! We have had a very mild March so far but the forecast is for snow and colder temps. I guess what will be will be! We do need moisture! I had a Robin arguing in my cottonwood tree for his territory! Lots of gophers running around. I gave a school tour at the GPDM on Wednesday! Still exciting to see the kids and fossils together! Cindy Clark and I attended the Malta Chamber dinner and got to see Rebecca Engum of Great Falls give her speech!...
Polly Solberg’s son Tim, wife Heidi, grandchildren Tyler and Amanda, great-grandkids Paul and Zuri Mai, and friend Krystin of Billings were in Dodson to visit Polly this weekend. MEC Electrical did some repair work for Dora Henry from the wind damage a couple of weeks ago. Well, the first day of spring was Saturday but so far the weather has not changed too much.

March 11, 2021 Dear Editor, Two weeks ago, we had our second Milk River Gospel Jamboree meeting for this year. The main topic of discussion was the jamboree, that until 2020, we have held every year since 2001. Last year, the plague of 2020 hit! We had 5 groups scheduled from Canada and 3 from United States, including Tim Lovelace. We looked forward to great gospel music, performances that blessed, and some that could cause belly splitting laughter, all family friendly and most with a gospel message for all. But it was not to be. The issues...

It must be spring. The first grizzly bear of the year has emerged from hibernation in Yellowstone Park. I’m sure I ran into his relatives years ago. Grizzlies, more than any other animal, are a hallmark of wild country to me. I love knowing there’s still a critter out there that just might stalk and eat me. The first grizzly I saw in the park was at a distance. He was ambling through the sagebrush while I watched from the relative safety of a stand of trees a couple of hundred yards away. It was...
As the warmer weather gets closer and we are able to do things outdoors again, there are a few things that I have missed due to the pandemic that I am hoping to be able to enjoy again. First and foremost is concerts! I have always enjoyed going to live music shows and have been lucky enough to go to many of them over the years. Mostly rock and metal concerts, but I have gone to a handful of country shows as well. I’ve seen most of my favorite bands, Kiss, Metallica, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Tesla, but there are a few I would still like to see whi...
