  • Montana's greatest wonder: the Missouri River

    Rick and Susie Graetz, University of Montana Department of Geography|Updated Oct 4, 2018

    Almost immediately upon departing the Three Forks area, the newly formed Missouri is neatly tucked into a mini-gorge. Then, only 16 miles from its inception, the Toston Reservoir and Dam decelerate its flow. After traversing the "Little Gates of the Mountains," so noted on Clark's map of July 25, 1805, as "2d range of mts - little gate," near the small village of Toston, the river will soon ply the last of the big southwest valleys. Officially established when the post office...

  • This is not fake news

    Korrie Wenzel, Grand Forks Herald|Updated Oct 4, 2018

    Nicole Haffely of Hillsboro will be inducted into a bowling hall of fame later this year. We know this because she was featured in a front-page feature story in the Hillsboro Banner. In Mayville, the Riverwood Addition development site is nearly sold out as more people build homes there. That news was on the front page of the Traill County Tribune. The Devils Lake Journal noted that the local Sons of Norway lodge recently won a statewide award, and the Walsh County Press reported that Park River is the first city to receive...

    Coach Cam LaBree|Updated Oct 4, 2018

    The 2018 Bulldog Jr. High Volleyball had a great season. There are 17 girls, fifth through eighth grade. Practice started the first day of school, and their last game was on October 1.

  • Bright Ideas

    Lois Lambert|Updated Oct 4, 2018

    I’m not accustomed to making excuses, but the dog didn’t exactly eat my homework. I was busy wrestling with jaw pain. I did learn how to work through pain, but it wasn’t fun. My meals were liquid or soft, taken only on the left side of my mouth. If my husband weren’t such a marvelous chef, we might have opened more cans of Campbell’s Soup. As it was, we only opened one and added fresh mushroom slices to it: cream of mushroom soup. We had smooth cream of tomato bisque made with ripe, homegrown tomatoes. There was cream of...

  • Hat Tips

    Dean Meyer|Updated Oct 4, 2018

    Hello, We were working calves over the weekend. Giving fall vaccinations. I suppose it is a lot like the H1N1 flu shot. Some people give them. Some don’t. Everyone argues whether it is worth it or not. Except the calves. They don’t seem to like it, but they never say anything. Now Shirley is about as good of help as you can get. She doesn’t need to look at the numbers to know if a calf belongs to a certain cow. She can ride a pretty big circle and pen up a pretty spooky cow. But the amazing thing is dinner. I don’t miss ma...

  • Community journalism matters because communities matter

    Matt Geiger, Executive Editor News Publishing Co. Black Earth, WI|Updated Oct 4, 2018

    “Everything in this newspaper is important to someone.” It’s become something of a mantra for me, in recent years. Weekly community newspapers are eclectic, to say the least. We publish photos of ribbons being cut at bakeries, and donations being dropped off at local food pantries. We print the school honor roll, the court report, and in-depth stories on decisions made by planning commissions and town boards. Sometimes we cover murders, abuse, and horrific car crashes, and when we do our community journalists often exper...

  • Dahl business office makes changes

    Updated Oct 4, 2018

    Recent changes have been made to the business office at Dahl Memorial Healthcare. Patients will now be asked to register at the office window for lab services rather than in the lab. Registration will also include filling out a demographic sheet. Dayle Lovec, who previously worked at Holy Rosary Healthcare in Miles City, has played a large part in implementing the changes. Lovec stated that these changes will help avoid confusion or mistakes in the future. Along with the...
