The CCHS Bulldogs held the ball for a large part of the first quarter in their game against the Culbertson Cowboys for homecoming on September 27th at Rowley Field.

Susan Metcalf Columnist I really am not a Tweeter. In fact, I did not have a Twitter account nor do I have an X account, since it has been rebranded by Elon Musk. However, I do love to write fake Tweets. In fact, with the explosion of Artificial Intelligence, it is pretty much impossible to know what is real and what is fake. We have one long month to go before the 2024 elections, and I think everyone who isn't off the grid is sick of political ads, texts, surveys, and robo...
September 30, 2024 Well, October comes in two days, but the people on Tie Creek and at Capitol had a temperature above one-hundred degrees, today.

On Tuesday, when they were shopping in the Hills, they picked up some supplies for Bobbie to use for the Senior Citizen dinners. Erma had a chiropractor appointment on Wednesday. They both went to the c...
Hello God, it's me, Mara: You know, Lord, just read a bit of praise by an unknown author, stating that we are all important, because we are God's creations and Christ loved us enough to die for us. It reminds readers that You, Lord, know our names and that You hold us fast in Your love. It also stated that when we appreciate the people God make us to be, we don't need the hollow honor the world offers. Oh, Father, thank You for Your unconditional love. It is much more...
Montana's major party candidates for U.S. Senate exchanged parting shots Monday in a final debate before in-person voting begins Oct 8. Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Tester characterized Republican Sheehy as a rich out-of-stater who would privatize health care while limiting abortion access. Sheehy said he wasn't lucky enough to be born in Montana because he "couldn't control where my mother's womb was when I crawled out of it." He repeatedly portrayed Tester as someone who has bee...

Montana lawmakers this month have trained a critical eye on funding for public schools, proposing new enhancements to the state's education funding formula and raising concerns about the handling of federal school funds by Montana's statewide education agency. The latter initially arose last week when state auditors in Helena presented legislators with a scathing report questioning the Montana Office of Public Instruction's handling of $67.5 million in federal money for...
As a mother of both a son and daughter who loved sports, I can honestly say I don't think there is anything that tests the bonds of motherhood more than high school football! It has been beautiful weather for the boys of fall this year, but there is one game that many Big Timber Herder fans will never forget. It was a game that tested my mental and physical endurance as a mother, and it took place when our son Bret was a junior in high school. While looking through his...
September 23, 2024 Tie Creek got about a half inch of rain this week. That is a good amount in a drought summer like this. Capitol got less in this storm, but they had regularly gotten more during previous rains, so it somewhat evened out. Alvin and Marlee Cordell were glad to get a half-inch of rain, on Tuesday. They had bow hunters, this week, from Pennsylvania. They got two antelope, two deer and a cow elk, before going home. On Thursday, Marlee went to the cross country meet at Custer to see Rhys Pearson run. Alvin...
Hello God, it's me, Mara: You know, Lord, a friend shared something 'sweet', like chocolate. Emmy stopped over the other day, saying that she'd been craving something sweet; then remembered the delicious handmade chocolate bar several of her coworkers had given her for her birthday, last week. She'd only eaten part of it, went to retrieve if from the kitchen table where she'd last seen it. Oh! It wasn't there! She began to look everywhere for it – the refrigerator, c...
