If you happened to drive past the entry to Trafton Park in Malta last Friday you probably saw a red stagecoach with yellow pinstripes sporting both the American Flag and "Trump 2020" flag...you might have even been able to take a spin on the old wagon.

The Great Plains Dinosaur Museum has been open for two weeks and I’m happy to report that many people have stopped to see just what we had behind the big green metal walls!

In a recent U.S. District Court ruling by Judge Brian Morris, the American public heard loud and clear that the federal administration broke the law when it offered leases on public lands in criti-cal sage grouse habitat. This court decision speaks volumes about how public lands should be managed, with certainty, and in a manner that considers true multiple use – including maintaining wildlife populations. The Department of Interior was found to have violated the law by issuing an instructional memorandum that abandoned the bi-partisan p...
Fake news. Those two words have likely created more confusion and distrust of the news media than any other. While it is easy to understand why those of us who work in the news media despise the term, it should also be apparent that the general public has a vested interest in discerning facts from falsehoods. Some of the louder news voices of the past few decades have been the cable news networks that provide news, analysis and opinion. But the opinion side now dominates on CNN, FOX and many of...
It’s not just on Father’s Day that I think of Dad. Quite often lately I think I see him before realizing it’s just the reflection of me in a mirror. I hope the stories I tell my daughters don’t have the same effect on them my father’s stories had on me. Dad told great stories. Some – involving women and alcohol -- I seldom repeat, but have never forgotten. Others I tried to top. I blame him for the time I spent behind bars in Eureka. Dad often talked about hitchhiking around the country bef...
First of all, Happy Birthday to my beautiful wife Susan. Her birthday week always marks a couple of milestones in our lives. First off, on June 21, I moved to Montana as a surprise to Susan.

I proposed to my wife one day before her birthday, because I didn’t want her to go into her birthday without knowing that I was 100 percent c...
