If eventually approved by the Commission, the payments would only happen after the completion of $396,000 of... Full story

A mistrial was declared Friday, July 28, in the felony deliberate homicide trial of Norman, who was charged after the January 15, 2022, shooting deaths of Brendan Estabrook and Chase Estabrook of Butte near 6th and Ash Streets in Three Forks.

In press calls last week, U.S. Senators Steve Daines (R-Montana) and Jon Tester (D-Montana) discussed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Discussing the NDAA, Daines said each year, Congress passes a bipartisan, bicameral bill that bolsters National Security and supports men and women in uniform. "Every year, I work to make the bill better for Montanans," he said. During the call, Daines said he was glad to report that one of their significant efforts in the base text of the bill will...

By now, most Montana property owners have opened their 2023 Property Classification and Appraisal Notices, and many have been surprised by the Montana Department of Revenue's estimate of their property's market value. It's no secret that property in Montana has been selling at higher and higher prices, but the size of the increased values is astonishing to everyone - including me. These value increases and estimated 2023 General Taxes described on the notice - based upon the prior year's mills - have created a great deal of confusion, fear, and... Full story
When I was little, my mom did a fantastic job incorporating many vegetables into dinner. While the veggies were undoubtedly good for me, there were a few that I could not stand. As is the case in many households across the country, I had to take everything that was on the dinner table and finish it. If there were my arch nemesis of Brussels sprouts or another hated foe in cauliflower, I would still have to finish everything on my plate. I was not allowed to take a tiny portion, either. I’ve heard horror stories of children who sat at the t... Full story
The Three Forks High School Volleyball team has a new Head Coach. At their July meeting, the Three Forks School Board voted to approve the hire of current assistant and former Hardin Head Coach Tiffany Lynch. "I am so excited to be the new head coach.

Dead trout. Sick trout. Trout with fungus on their skin. What is going on with the fish of the Big Hole, Beaverhead and Ruby Rivers? Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks in partnership with the Montana Cooperative Fishery Research Unit (MCFRU) at Montana State University wants to find out. Together, they are launching three studies to determine what is affecting fish abundance in these streams. A fourth study, conducted by FWP, will look at fish health and building capacity to sample fish for diseases. "Those who work and recreate on these rivers... Full story
Montana health officials ended Medicaid health insurance coverage for 19,244 people in May, bringing the total number of people removed from the public health program up to 34,204 since the state began reevaluating enrollee eligibility in April — an administrative power it did not have during the federally designated pandemic emergency. The state health department, which is releasing updated figures on the redetermination process roughly once a month, published the summary of May data on Friday. Nearly half of the 40,334 people up for c...
It's the time of year when it seems like everybody and their dog is hitting the road for summer trips, so we thought we'd take a look at which stretches of Montana highway rank as the busiest. As it turns out, according to data from the Montana Department of Transportation, the state's highway hot spots tend to cluster around urban areas. A stretch of King Avenue West in Billings just north of Interstate 90 has the dubious distinction of being the busiest road in the state, with about 40,000...
Eighteen individuals were arrested in Bozeman in July during a human trafficking operation conducted by the Montana Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) and Bozeman Police Department, Attorney General Austin Knudsen announced.

They were charged under Montana’s new statute, include...
August 1st through the 7th is World Breastfeeding Week. The baby formula shortages from last year left parents who use formula struggling to find enough formula for their babies. Some babies are exclusively breastfed, and others are exclusively formula-fed, but often moms turn to both breastfeeding and formula feeding either simultaneously or at different times. For moms who are breastfeeding, it's important to know how to increase their milk supply, whether their baby is going through a growth spurt or if parents can't find the formula they...
Did you know diamonds are fascinating gems that form deep within the Earth's mantle under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions, taking millions of years to develop? Not all diamonds make it to the Earth's surface, as some remain trapped in the mantle due to geological processes. However, those that reach the surface become the valuable and cherished gemstones we adore today. When mined and brought to the Earth's surface, diamonds undergo a meticulous process of polishing or cutting. This skilled and intricate procedure transforms them...
