  • Museum Board looking for country school info

    Jim and Martha Tru, Montana Preservation Alliance|Oct 4, 2017

    Montana is known for its breathtaking mountain views, majestic lakes, and vast expanses of open prairie, but one new study is honing in on a particular type of building often seen within those iconic viewsheds – the country schoolhouse. At one time, there were an estimated 2,600 rural schools in Montana. Beginning with the missions and gold camps, schoolhouses became essential community institutions and in the era of homesteading, they multiplied across the state. Today, Montana has about 60, o...

  • Recent rain puts small dent in precipitation deficit

    Mark Hebert, Publisher|Oct 4, 2017

    Though much-needed precipitation recently fell across Montana helping to extinguish the many forest fires burning across the Treasure State, in Phillips County, precipitation totals are still way down from normal in the county as drought continues in the eastern portion of the state. "Through yesterday, Malta has had 6.25 inches of precipitation, normal would be 11.18 inches, so you are 4.93" below normal," Tanja Fransan from the National Weather Service's Glasgow office told the PCN. "Zortman i...

  • Whitewater News for October 4, 2017

    Helen Austin, PCN Correspondent|Oct 4, 2017

    Sympathy to the people in Puerto Rico and Mexico. My cousin, Ray Austin, is in Mexico. Hope he is okay. Thank goodness Montana is not burning up from fires like it was during this past dry summer. The rains, cool weather and even snow in Western Montana helped put out the fires. What a wonderful thing. The Whitewater Booster Club had a fundraiser for Forks Hall. It was at the North 40 and money was raised for the Forks Building, which was the stomping ground years ago, and maybe will be again....

  • I could still be tempted

    Parker Heinlein, Outdoor Columnist|Oct 4, 2017

    I hadn’t fished in three weeks and thought I hadn’t missed it. After all, it was hunting season now. But it remained very much summer. Every day hot and dry. Most were smoky. In order to avoid the heat and lessen the chance of encountering rattlesnakes, I’d leave the house before light and hunt a couple of hours in the cool of the morning. By 9 a.m. it was usually too hot to continue and I’d start looking for shade. I longed for the weather to change. Then, right on schedule, it did. Rain an...

  • They don't love you

    Pierre Bibbs, Sports Editor|Oct 4, 2017

    If you have a Facebook page, there is a good chance that you have been bumming me out. No, not because I am a liberal snowflake, but because people, many of which I know from here or anywhere else I have lived are being really ugly to each other. I am not “liberal” and I for sure can’t support the direction of the “conservative.” I’m a pacifist, who understands that we need to listen to one another rather than jump to a political agenda. I have said it once before and I will say it once again;...
