The R&D Barbershop located at 17 S. Main Street in Three Forks is officially open for business. Owners Dave and Robin Francisco, who have over 40 years of experience as barbers, moved to Three Forks two and a half years ago. “We love the town and the surrounding areas of Three Forks. Talking with several people, we heard that the barber in town had retired, and the town was left without one. We saw the need to help the community so they wouldn’t have to travel back-and-forth to either Bel... Full story

Following a tip from a Gallatin County resident, an arrest was made in connection with stolen road signs. The Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office released a news release on January 30 stating that 49 street signs from across the county had been stolen. “A Gallatin County citizen saw the press release and came forward with valuable information which ultimately led to the arrest and charge of one 18-year-old Bozeman resident. This investigation continues as deputies follow up on additional leads. Currently, 46 of the 49 stolen road signs have bee... Full story
This June, voters in Three Forks and throughout Gallatin County will get to decide if they'd like to study changing the form of their county government. The Gallatin County Commissioners recently voted to put a question on the June 4 ballot asking voters if they'd like to establish and fund a study commission to examine Gallatin County government and make recommendations for changes. The Montana Constitution requires that every 10 years, each city and county government in the state ask their voters whether they want to undertake a review of... Full story
As a fifth-generation Montanan, I have fond memories with my Grandpa Daines of learning how to fish and hunt north of Big Timber, and my goal is to pass these traditions on to my own children and grandchildren. There is no better way to experience Montana than backpacking, hunting, hiking or fishing. I share this passion with many Montanans, which is why improving access to our public lands is such a high priority. That's why I introduced my "Montana Sportsmen Conservation Act." Montanans should determine what is best for our public lands, not... Full story
Whenever I visit my hometown in Wyoming, my first stop is always Grub’s Drive-In. From the first time I had a “Shamrock” cheeseburger, I was hooked, and it is one of my all-time favorite things to eat. On my last visit to Rock Springs, I was horrified that the local landmark had shut down. I was also dismayed that nobody from home bothered to tell me about this, but maybe it was because they knew it would not go well. Shortly before Christmas, I heard the fantastic news that one of my former classmates who worked at the restaurant while we we... Full story
With just two games left in the regular season, the Three Forks High School Girls’ Basketball team is looking to improve their offensive production. Following a 61-50 road loss at Whitehall in their only game last week, Three Forks High School Girls’ Basketball Coach Lacy Noble said that while it was one of those nights where their shots weren’t falling, the team needs to start looking for better offensive options. “We have to continue to run our offense through and through and show the differe...

Winter is here, and the days are getting shorter, and many of us will become less active, so it is a good time to focus on your heart health. Intermountain Health St. James Hospital is working to educate patients about ways to enhance their heart health. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women. One person dies every 36 seconds in the United States from cardiovascular disease – and about 659,000 people in the United States die from heart disease each year-that's 1 in every 4 deaths. Maintaining a healthy hea... Full story

The head of the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services said the agency has nearly cleared its backlog of incomplete contracts that risked people’s access to health services. Even so, some organizations say the state still owes them tens of thousands of dollars for services already provided. Director Charlie Brereton told state lawmakers during a Children, Families, Health, and Human Services Interim Committee meeting on Jan. 18 that the agency had nearly finished finalizing overdue contracts with organizations that provide p...

In January, we responded to 26 emergency calls for the volunteers who serve on our local ambulance service. Two of our emergency responses were to fatality accidents on I90. TFAA did 16 transports to Bozeman Health Deaconess Regional Medical Center. We only needed the paramedics on two of those transports for additional aid. We continued to standby at The Three Forks High School Basketball Games to support our youth. The rest of our emergency responses were refusals or cancelled in route to an incident. As we all approach Valentine’s Day we t... Full story
From the MSU News Service Sulfur’s role as an agricultural nutrient is often overlooked, but including it in soil fertility programs can positively impact crop yield, quality and economics, according to a Montana State University Extension specialist. Clain Jones, MSU Extension soil fertility specialist and professor in the Department of Land Resources and Environmental Sciences, said that modern phosphorus and potassium fertilizers contain less sulfur as a manufacturing byproduct than they historically did. Coupled with higher-yielding v... Full story

At the beginning of January more than half of NRCS snow monitoring stations in Montana and surrounding river basins reported their lowest snowpack on record. “Well above normal precipitation was needed to begin a recovery from lack of snow, yet precipitation was mostly below normal across Montana last month,” said Eric Larson, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Water Supply Specialist. The exception was the northern Flathead and Kootenai River basins in Montana where total monthly precipitation was near normal. Other basins wes... Full story
