At last week's Three Forks City Council meeting, community and land use planner Lee Nellis discussed possible future growth in the municipality. During a presentation about the city's ongoing Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and Impact Fee Project, Nellis told the governing body their recently adopted Growth Policy talks about the possibility of about 600 new dwellings in the municipality over the 20 years.

After 20 years, Three Forks Schools re-finished and re-designed the main competition gym from floor to ceiling this fall. The gym was in such rough shape that when people would stand or walk on it, it would flex over the weight room. Three Forks schools put together a graphics committee which included vice principal Jake Lynch, basketball coaches Terry Hauser and Lacy Noble, and volleyball coach Tiffany Lynch to help with the design of the space. The goal of the committee was ¨to give the gym... Full story

A Bozeman television station recently had a story about recent accidents between Three Forks and Belgrade in which Gallatin County Sheriff Dan Springer discussed an uptick in cell phone use while driving. While this was very alarming to read, it certainly was not surprising. Whether it is a trip on Interstate 90 or driving through any community in the Gallatin Valley, it is hard not to spot someone using their cell phone while driving. And this needs to stop. There will always be accidents that will happen because of horrible conditions.... Full story

We have an innate desire to belong in families, at work, and in our communities. We want to belong in such a way that others would go out of their way to pursue us. But, of course, it looks different in marriage, friendships, and even relationships within our family. Longing to be pursued is not a sign of self-admiration, as God placed that desire deep within our hearts because we were created in His image. If you are feeling lonely, abandoned, or unwanted because of what the world says, it’s time to stop. You are valued, treasured, and l... Full story

Playing in front of the largest home crowd in recent memory, which included a thunderous student section on September 29 against Townsend, the Three Forks High School Football team wasted little time taking the lead when senior quarterback Shane Williams found the endzone on a 30-yard run with 10:04 left in the first quarter. It would be the first of four first-half rushing touchdowns for Williams, giving the Wolves (5-1, 2-0 Southern B) a 28-0 halftime lead on their way to a convincing 46-0... Full story
