Riding horseback on his sprawling ranch to check livestock, Charlie Williams' thoughts will wander toward his wrestling team. "I'll be out there thinking about strategies, different philosophies," said the Alzada rancher who doubles as the head wrestling coach for Moorcroft High School across the state line in Wyoming. Same when he's climbing into his rig in the early afternoon for the 70-plus mile drive to Moorcroft. Williams makes the drive at least five days a week from November to the end...

This year, National FFA Week is February 20-27. Agriculture education and FFA ensure a steady supply of young professionals to meet the growing needs in the science, business and technology of agriculture. FFA p...
As I look outside today and think about the last couple of days of below zero temperatures, I am reminded that sometimes it is not so bad to have a job where I can work indoors with the heat on. It also makes me think of all our livestock and hardworking agricultural producers that are out in the weather all the time, and what they need to be able to thrive in these conditions. When winter comes our livestock should have a nice thick winter coat to keep them warm, but that does not mean they can’t get cold. The breaking point where cattle n...
Welcome to week 6 from the 67th session of the Montana House of Representatives. One of the highlights of the week to be sure was Governor Gianforte’s long awaited lifting of the statewide mask mandate. Now it is up to local officials to follow suit and get Montana back to work, back to school and back to normal. Along that line, Senate Bill 67 passed 2nd reading in the House today by a 71-29 margin. This bill eliminates the potential misdemeanor penalty in the law if local law enforcement o...
Thomas Jefferson said, “The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.” Unfortunately, the Federal Government is now merged with the criminals! (See the admissions of conspiracy in “Time Magazine,” “The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election”). So we must now attempt to use some of the ‘chains’ to prevent tyranny. There have been and will be many attempts to ignore the cons...
I always marvel at the connections I make with people from around the country and the world through writing a humor/recipe column. One day while sitting in my County Superintendent's office, I received a call from Don Williams of Eugene, Oregon. He was researching his relative, Violet Widdecombe, who taught in Sweet Grass County decades ago. After several conversations and emails, we have become e-pals. He was particularly interested in my recent column on Virgil Gust, because he remembered...
Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, it was entertaining and enjoyable checking out a ‘saved’ article about having fun. Sharing with others, we did have to chuckle as sure enough, some of what we read already was ‘us’! So, thought we’d share some ‘secrets’ [author unknown]: ~Your kids are becoming you – but your grandchildren are perfect. ~Going out is good, but coming home is even a whole lot better. ~You forget names, but that’s OK because other folks forgot they even knew you! ~You realize you’re never going to be really good at anythi...
