Specifically, we served together in leadership at the Office of Public Instruction and now serve as chair and vice-chair of the Montana Board of Public Education. I...
Dear Editor, District Court Judge Katherine Bidegaray is the right choice to be the next justice on the Montana Supreme Court. Having appeared in front of her in court and gotten to know her over the years, I have seen her be impartial, fair, and respectful to each party in all cases she has. She was born and raised on a Richland County farm and ranch, and she knows the importance of preparation, hard work, and self-discipline. Judge Bidegaray cares deeply about the state of Montana, the rule of law and fundamental fairness, and the...
CI-126 Will Put More Power In The Hands Of “We the People.” When something is no longer working for the benefit of our state and country, “we the people” have a duty to lawfully and peacefully work to reform our government. Not long ago, Montana had a proud tradition of being a purple state. We valued the character and competence of a person running for office, over their party label. A person may be a Republican or Democrat because that’s the political philosophy they generally agreed with, but both the candidate and voters cared more abou...
For Christians, forgiveness and letting go of resentment and anger toward someone who has wronged is central to the Lord’s Prayer. In the Islamic tradition, the Prophet Muhammad said, “Whoever forgives a Muslim, Allah will forgive him.” The holiest day in Judaism, the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur, is a time for seeking forgiveness. Yom Kippur will begin at sunset on Oct. 11 and will end with the night of Oct. 12. This year in Montana, Oct. 11 is the day by which all ballots will be mailed to voters on the absentee list, and the bulk of votin...

I was elected seven times and served more than 30 years as a Justice of the Peace in Richland County before my retirement in 2016. During my long career on the bench, I worked with both of the district court judges who are now running for a seat on the Montana Supreme Court. They are Judge Katherine Bidegaray of Sidney and Judge Dan Wilson of Kalispell. I got to know Judge Bidegaray very well in the nearly 15 years we spent working in the same judicial district. I also got to know Judge Dan Wilson very well over the six years that he served as...
Dear Editor, Montanans cannot afford to continue Elsie Arntzen’s bumbling leadership of the Montana Office of Public Instruction by voting in her deputy superintendent. Remember, auditors of THEIR OPI found that Elsie and her staff were unable to account for $ 67.5 million dollars of federal funding. In addition, the current leaders at OPI have supported “school choice” which means your tax dollars will go to private schools not toward providing your children a quality education we all expect from Montana schools. It does not make sense to ta...

For Breuer and other members of REAL Montana Class VI, this was the first of ten seminars in their two-year educational program.

He agreed, with the goal of furthering his leadership skills and...
Each fall, just a few weeks after the Richland County Fair & Rodeo wraps, the Richland County Rodeo Club starts knocking on doors, asking for the community’s support for the Montana High School Rodeo in Sidney; and boy, does Richland County show up.

Sidney’s event ran Aug. 30-31, with Kraken Oil & Gas, Tri-County Implement, the Cattle-Ac, Clark & Associates-Denver Gilbert, Dawson County Rodeo Club, Glendive Liv...
For generations, hunting season has been an all-hands-on-deck event for the Eskridge family. Donn Eskridge grew up hunting pheasant, duck, fur, and deer in his home state of Iowa. His wife, Vicki (Reimers), grew up hunting elk, deer, rabbits, and upland birds with her family in the mountains of Wyoming. After meeting and marrying in Montana, they packed up our brothers, John Baker, Clayton Eskridge, and on all their adventures. Pheasant hunting in eastern Montana, deer and antelope hunting in th...
Destination: Northeast Montana (Region 6) A couple years of drought and the long winter in 2022-23 have reduced deer and elk populations. FWP adjusted license quotas in many districts as needed. The winter of 2023-24 was fairly mild, however, and habitat conditions in much of northeast Montana have improved considerably. Abundant spring and early summer rainfall earlier this year resulted in good recovery of range plants. Elk Surveys in the Missouri River Breaks showed elk numbers about 56 percent below long-term averages and population at 41...
BILLINGS – Every year, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks staff find big game animal carcasses dumped on public and private land. Carcass dumping is illegal and can spread disease. This hunting season, protect our herds and make sure you have a plan to properly dispose of animal carcasses. Under Montana state statute, dumping carcasses on public and private land without the owner’s consent is considered littering and can result in fines not exceeding $500. Conviction of littering while hunting can also result in the suspension of hunting and fis...
