    Jack H. Smith, Three Forks Voice|Feb 16, 2022

    After earning a business degree and pursuing a corporate career throughout her early twenties, Kelsey Johnson decided it was time for a change. In 2018, Johnson would leave her sales career to pursue artistry full time and started the KRae Artwork & Illustration Company. Having lived for several years in a rental in Bozeman, Johnson decided it was again time for a change. "Our dream of moving somewhere quieter in the valley came true, and we purchased our first home in Three Forks in November," she said. The change in scenery would pay huge... Full story

  • The Prairie Doc: The Physician-Patient

    Dr. Kelly Evans-Hullinger|Feb 16, 2022

    Last spring, I was at home washing my hands, and as I glanced up into the mirror, I noticed something unusual. My bathroom light hit my neck just right as I swallowed and there it was: a prominent lump. I diagnosed myself with a thyroid nodule and wondered how I, a physician, had failed to notice this large protuberance before that moment. Thyroid nodules are quite common. In some cases, they are noticed by the patient (like me) or are found on exam. In many cases they are found on accident when someone has an imaging test like a CT scan, MRI,...

  • Column: Aqua Socks

    Jack H. Smith, Three Forks Voice|Feb 16, 2022

    There is never a dull moment with a 15-year-old in the house. There are times when Shayla is as sweet as a fresh Georgia peach, and others that dealing with her is moodiness is worse than a scene from the “Exorcist”. I’m just glad she stays busy with things like volleyball and cheerleading so that she is usually so tired to throw a Herculean-sized fit about something like doing the dishes and cleaning her room. Every once in a while, she will share about something going on or the social dynamics at school, and it reminds me of when I was in se...

  • Tesoro hits 8 threes, Wolves defeat high ranked Rams

    Jack H. Smith, Three Forks Voice|Feb 16, 2022

    Before their regular-season finale Saturday against second-ranked Columbus, Three Forks boys basketball Head Coach Terry Hauser watched Finnley Tesoro shoot during warmups and told Assistant Coach Connor Sullivan the senior sharpshooter was going to have a big night. Hauser was more than correct with his assessment as Tesoro had a school-record eight three-pointers and a game-high 31 points in the 77-59 victory. "Eight is a lot of threes no matter who the opponent is, but to do it on senior... Full story

  • Wolves open postseason Thursday

    Jack H. Smith, Three Forks Voice|Feb 16, 2022

    Facing a 17 point third-quarter deficit last Saturday in their regular-season finale against Columbus, the Three Forks High girls basketball responded emphatically. After cutting the lead to ten (37-27) going into the fourth quarter, the Wolves would inch even closer after two Ashlyn Swenson three-pointers made it a 39-33 game midway through the final quarter. After forcing a Cougar turnover, Jayden Woodland barely missed a three-pointer that would have cut the lead to three. While Columbus... Full story
