The Three Forks School District has formed a committee to examine the use of 25 acres of land near the district bus barn. The district was approached in late September by Three Forks baseball and softball officials who were hoping to utilize a portion of the land to build three new fields. While receptive to the idea, district officials want to ensure the needs of the FFA program are also an important part of the committee. At a meeting last month, Three Forks Superintendent Jeff Elliott said the primary focus is to make sure kids in the...

The season came to an end last week for the Three Forks High School volleyball team. The Lady Wolves fell 27-25, 25-15, 25-21 in a 5B District Tournament Elimination game at Whitehall.

Everyone stepped up and did a fantastic job this season, I couldn't be prouder for how strong we finished this season. It would have been easy to throw in the towel and give...
A late July article from Big Sky Times looks at first glance like a piece of old-fashioned investigative journalism, published on what appears to be a modern news website. "Montana media, GOP failed to investigate Bullock's conduct," reads its headline, over a stock photo of incumbent governor and U.S. Senate candidate Steve Bullock, a Democrat. The first few paragraphs of the piece quote former Republican legislator Matthew Monforton, criticizing the governor for alleged incompetence and corruption. It continues in a similar fashion,...
BOZEMAN – The second weekend of Montana’s general deer and elk hunt in southwest Montana saw lower-than-average hunter participation for the same weekend in previous years, but hunter success was at or above average. Wildlife biologists with Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks operated three check stations Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, observing a total of 709 hunters. Biologists use check stations to collect data on hunter participation and success, as well as the species, sex and age class of the animals harvested. This supplements data collected thr...
