  • Annual Fort Peck Reservoir walleye spawning operation gearing up, volunteers welcome

    Apr 6, 2016

    Warmer temperatures and melted ice mean the annual walleye spawning operation on Fort Peck Reservoir is beginning early this year and will soon be in full swing. Volunteers are always welcome, and needed, for the success of this operation. According to Heath Headley, Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife & Parks’ Fort Peck biologist, agency staff and volunteers will again be trapping fish and taking eggs from areas in the upper Big Dry Arm of the reservoir. “The reservoir is about 2 feet lower than last year,” Headley said, “but we will continu...

    American Counseling Association|Apr 6, 2016

    Summer and bathing suit season are just around the corner and that has a lot of us looking in the mirror and wondering how we can make those excess pounds disappear. While there are a number of reasons for being overweight (sure, you know most of them -- poor food choices, excessively large servings, too much snacking, not enough exercise), one that is often over-looked is stress-related eating, one of the major reasons that people overeat. Most of us live in a world full of stress. From national tragedies to family problems to traffic jams,...

    Pierre Bibbs, Sports Editor|Apr 6, 2016

    The Saco Panthers track team was a pretty young squad with all of their members being freshmen last season. Head Coach Barry Malone will once again coach Saco with assistant coach Tanya Funk. The 2015 team was led by Bailey Funk, who was a two event performer at the State C Meet in Laurel last year. Funk tied for fifth place in the pole vault by clearing 8-feet in the pole vault and she placed eleventh in the triple jump with a length of 31-10.25. She was impressive in other events as well...

"He's just going to stay in that position but Hunter and Landon are hot on his trail." So how close are Hunter Love and Landon VanWichen to Keenan? Apparently one to two strokes...

  • Phillips County's worst year for child abuse cases amplifies the importance of CASA

    Apr 6, 2016

    According to statistics from Montana’s Supreme Court, there were 17 new child abuse cases reported in Phillips County in 2015. That is more new cases of child abuse than in 2013 and 2014 combined, and 45-percent more cases than in 2012, the previous worst year on record. The flood of cases has swamped the child welfare system. The effect has been magnified for CASA – Court Appointed Special Advocates – an organization which trains and coordinates everyday citizens to speak out for abused children. “CASA in Montana began on the Hi-Line, but we...
