  • Montana's public lands should be run by Montanans, not D.C.

    U.S. Senator Steve Daines|Updated Jan 31, 2024

    As a fifth-generation Montanan, I have fond memories with my Grandpa Daines of learning how to fish and hunt north of Big Timber, and my goal is to pass these traditions on to my own children and grandchildren. There is no better way to experience Montana than backpacking, hunting, hiking or fishing. I share this passion with many Montanans, which is why improving access to our public lands is such a high priority. That’s why I introduced my “Montana Sportsmen Conservation Act.” Montanans should determine what is best for o...

  • CAPITOLETTER

    Karen Odell|Updated Jan 31, 2024

    January 29, 2024 We enjoyed the warmer week at Capitol and on Tie Creek. The snow began melting, and by Sunday, most of the snow was gone. Each day was a little icy, until it warmed up. Even with the warmer air, some days still produced a cold wind. Ross Phelps was at Ronda Cordell’s, several day this week. He finished up all the current projects for her, on Saturday. On Tuesday morning, Ronda left for Spearfish in dense fog. When she got to the Belltower Curve, and looked west from there, she saw clear blue sky. As she l...

  • Cooking in the West

    Susan Metcalf|Updated Jan 31, 2024

    I just love those helpful hint columns, books, and posts full of tips on how to remove every stain known to man or cure anything from warts to arthritis with a home remedy. Sometimes though, I have to question the effectiveness and efficiency of the remedies and helpful hints. I have actually had less than miraculous results with many of those tips. A tomato juice bath is supposed to be the cure-all for skunk spray. Do you know how much a tomato juice bath for a small boy costs? Back in 1992, it was $92.00 cheaper and much...

  • Conversations with God

    Updated Jan 31, 2024

    Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, ‘Twas fun checking February Calendar pages, seeing who had birthdays and who got married. We ‘knew’ one child who’d been born on Valentine’s Day! Neither of us knew anyone who claimed the 8th, 15th or 16th. But family and friends, loved ones, near and far were included! Alexia thought February was well-ordered, especially since she knew one guy in his late 90’s. Her daughter peeked in – she’d been eavesdropping, she said; “Mommy, don’t forget, we know a baby who is only one day old to...

  • January cold snap fuels Montana's coal power debate

    Eric Dietrich and Amanda Eggert, montanafreepress.org|Updated Jan 31, 2024

    The record-breaking cold snap Montana saw this month brought days of below-zero temperatures across the state - and with them what major Montana utility NorthWestern Energy said was record-high electric demand from its customers. The arctic blast, and how the state's energy system responded, triggered a wave of analysis from folks engaged in Montana's running debate over renewable energy, coal generation and the future of the state's electric grid. The Montana Environmental...
