In 2023, the Montana State Legislature passed the State-Local Infrastructure Partnership Act (SLIPA), which appropriated $20 million from the state general fund to the Montana Department of Commerce to be distributed to incorporated cities and towns as grants based on infrastructure repair and maintenance. $172,000 of this funding has been set aside for the City of Three Forks, requiring a 25 percent match of $43,000.

Over the years, I’ve learned that a first impression is not always the best way to judge a person. Sometimes, people are standoffish, and you’ve got to get to know them a little bit better, and sometimes, people have bad days.

While I had plenty of experience in the newspaper business, I was not quite prepared for how difficult it would be to take over an established publication in Whitehall. Every day was a learning experie... Full story

Three Forks/Ennis Head Coach Nye Howey said he's had the opportunity to coach Cole Rogers, Gabe Hungerford, Jack Hayder, and Alex Fletcher since they were five years old and in the Little Guys Wrestling program.
