Cecile Smith-Kuehn opened Broken Arrow Boutique, offering casual, casual business and athletic wear to women of all ages in a quaint setting on Main Street in Ekalaka back in October of 2018. The 2007 CCHS graduate said that one main reason she opened the boutique was to help breath some life back into Main Street. "It's sad to see the empty buildings," she said. "I want this to be good for the community." Though her shop might be small, it has made a positive impact in its short time open and...

The town of Ismay has approved plans to put temporary postal boxes in the town’s community center. At a meeting Jan. 20 in the Joe Montana Community Center, the mayor and town officials approved the plans which could allow partial postal service to return to the community about a month after its local post office burned to the ground. Since the fire destroyed the post office in early January, residents have had to travel to the closest post office in Plevna, approximately a 20-mile drive each way. The owners of the building, Gene and Rita N...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is closely monitoring an outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel (new) coronavirus (named “2019-nCoV”) that was first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China and continues to expand. Even though the 2019-nCoV represents a severe public health threat, the risk to individuals is dependent on exposure. For the general American public, who are unlikely to be exposed to this virus, the immediate health risk from the 2019-nCoV is considered LOW. Coronaviruses are a large family of...

Although the Green New Deal seems to have been abandoned, there is still a lot of talk on the 2020 election trail about other brain flashes such as student loan forgiveness. I marvel at this concept. I grew up frugal and green, because my parents were 40 years old when they got around to having me, so they were children during the Great Depression. When I went off to college, I worked at every job I could find both on and off campus. I borrowed very little money, and I asked my parents for very little money. We lived literally like starving...

For the most part, the physical and social geography of Southwest Montana has changed little with the passage of time. Ranching and agriculture are the major lifestyles, and the Bitterroot and Gallatin valleys still draw the most folks. Water, which played a significant role in the past, is still important today. Here in this quadrant of the state is the gathering place for the rivers forming the three forks of the big Missouri. The Jefferson and Gallatin both get their start within the...

On Tuesday Congressman Greg Gianforte Tuesday joined a bipartisan group of 65 lawmakers to introduce a resolution urging Major League Baseball (MLB) to maintain the current minor league structure rather than proceed with its plan to eliminate 42 minor league clubs. “Montana's Minor League Baseball teams contribute to our sense of community, support local businesses, and create jobs. Our teams in Billings, Great Falls, and Missoula are a source of community pride and provide a place where parents can pass along America’s pastime to their kid...
The Lady Bulldogs defeated the Custer/Hysham Rebels last Thursday at home. All ten Bulldogs that were suited up for the contest scored, but they didn't do all of the scoring for their team. In what was a strange start to the game, one of the Rebel players got confused and took an apparent "fast break" the wrong way after a sideline inbound play and scored two points for the wrong team. The basket would be a sign of things to come for the Rebels who went on to lose by 22 points. Lady Blue shot...
Last Thursday, the CCHS boys basketball team cruised to a thirty-one point victory over conference opponent Custer/Hysham. Blue went up early and had a 19-4 lead by the end of the first quarter. Strong defense and winning the rebound battle were major keys to the victory, and even with their strong play in those two facets of the game, no Bulldog player finished the game with more than 2 fouls. The Rebels had 25 tunovers on the night, compared to 21 for the Bulldogs. Preston Long was the...
Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, the Bible states that GOD knows our purpose on this earth before we were ever born. In this age of options, opportunities, choices, and more, You Lord, of all creation, made us for a specific purpose and reason, so, in one sense, we can’t be just anything that we want to be. Now that is ‘food for thought’ right? We were formed and set apart for YOU. Part of our journey here on this earth is not to create our destiny, but to discover it. As we choose to connect with You, our maker, we connect with who WE...
