Roasts and hams certainly may get a lot of fanfare for holiday dining, but chicken is a versatile food that is mild enough to be molded into whatever flavor profile cooks desire. Chicken also can be dressed up so it easily competes with other protein sources for top billing on holiday tables. Easily cooked on the stovetop in a flash, this recipe for "Almond Chicken With Peaches and Roquefort" from "125 Best Chicken Recipes" (Robert Rose) by Rose Murray can be customized and multiplied depending...
Senate Bill 379 is a bill that is anti-jobs and anti-economic development. For a legislature supposedly focused on the Governor’s rightful concerns for entrepreneurship, it’s a real step backward. Higher electricity bills will harm efforts to attract businesses to Montana. I support helping Colstrip, but not at the expense of every other business in Montana. I have been part of the Billings’ business community for more than 40 years and have served a half dozen Governors, both Republicans and Democrats. In the early ’80s, I was Montana...

Dear Editor, The subject of gun control seems to be everywhere these days. Even my hometown newspaper. Guns are evil. We must choose between guns and our children’s safety. Really? Here is another man’s opinion. The anti-gun argument often fails to recognize any benefits of “civilian” ownership of firearms. In our daily lives we routinely make decisions using a cost /benefit analysis. If I want to drive to Bozeman for a day of shopping, I understand there is some risk associated with a hundred mile round trip in a car. So I weigh that against...
Dear Editor, This is from a horseman: I am really glad to see fourty-four farms in Texas have partnered with Walmart to procure Angus based cattle for Walmart to process and package their own line of meat in their black plastic tray. So they don’t have to rely on four major packing houses - some issues in the beef business are self inflicted. And some are totally not fair. But consumers get to vote on whether they like beef every single day. Cattlemen should jump in and try to figure out how to cooperate with the complete supply chain in o...
Dear Editor, Mr. Johnson, you are to be commended for your concern of deaths of children by guns. The abortion industry has killed millions of babies in the womb and without guns. Those babies need defending. They have had their lives taken with funding from the U.S. government. Murder with a gun is illegal and comes with an arrest, etc. Not so, with all of those baby deaths. Guns are not ‘treasures’, they are one of our freedoms. Arcylle Shaw Cardwell, Montana...
Just when it seemed like the snowpack was on the right track to rebound from the dry December and January, March yielded substantially different weather patterns than the cold and wet conditions experienced during February. Snowpack percentages on March 1 were at a high point for the year, boosted by well above normal snowfall leading to near to above normal snowpack for almost all Montana river basins. “Unfortunately, March weather started off on the opposite trajectory. Warm, dry air spilled into the state during the first week of the m...
The spring black bear hunting season starts April 15. Hunters need to be aware that black bears must be presented for in-person inspection and tagging within 10 days of harvest. The hide and skull must be presented in a condition that allows full inspection and tooth collection (i.e. unfrozen). For local tagging information, contact the Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks office nearest you. Three Black Bear Management Units have quotas and mandatory 48-hour reporting: Units 510, 520, and 700. When the quota is reached or approached in each of...
Montana’s spring male turkey season opened April 10. Turkey hunters can purchase a turkey license for a general area at FWP offices, license providers or online. The application deadline for western Montana’s spring gobbler season permits has passed. The 2021 spring turkey season regulations, with details on turkey hunting in the general area, are available at FWP offices, license providers and online at fwp.mt.gov. Hunters should remember that when transporting a spring turkey in the state on Montana, one leg and foot must be naturally att...
When spring is in the air, snowmelt creates high water in our streams and rivers. You might want to get out there in your boat, but high water can be deadly when conditions are too extreme for safe boating. Although it can be hard to put safety ahead of adventure when you’ve spent hours planning a boating trip, sometimes the only safe choice is to stay off the water. If you do go, make sure you stay safe by wearing a well-fitted personal flotation device (PFD) or life jacket when on and around the water. Even if you are only near a rapidly f...
