In 2016, Phillips County voted in the Bison Ordinance with a 79% voter approval rating. In that Ordinance, it requires ALL bison to be tested and certified disease free, and requires all bison to be branded, tagged, tattooed or otherwise identified to track health status. In that same year American Prairie Reserve requested a variance from that Ordinance. Reason for the request was because they stated it was an unnecessary hardship on them to have to abide by such ordinance. I must be clear...

Phillips County – In 2005, the Montana legislature passed the Clean Indoor Air Act (CIAA), one of the most important public health policies in state history. The law was fully implemented on October 1, 2009.

Tobacco smoke carries at least 250 chemicals that are known to be toxic or carcinogenic, causing lung cancer, heart disease, stroke, and other fatal ailme...

I thought I was done with fishing for the year. My focus had been on hunting since Sept. 1 when upland bird season opened. But early last week, after a morning chasing sharptails with my friend Dallas, and a forecast high of 75 for the afternoon, one final fishing trip sounded like a great idea. We changed out of our hunting clothes, gathered up the fishing tackle, and loaded the kayaks in the back of the truck. It was a 45-minute drive to the bass pond and we watched the wind pick up along the...

The PC Museum archives constantly cough up unusual books and paper items. My find this week was a book on the military and trading posts/forts in Montana. The trading posts in Montana helped to open our area to exploration. Bakers Post sprouted up in 1868 and was located on the south bank of the Milk River. It was of short duration, however, only lasting about one year. It received its name for I.G. Baker a trading entrepreneur. Fort Browning was also located in Phillips County. It was erected by the Northwest Fur Company and may have been name...

I have also been watching the construction crew put the new gray metal roof on the MOI building and looks to almost be done as of last Wednesday.

It was my way of telling them thank you for doing such a good job on the MOI...
