O’Donnell got her team off to a great start with a first inning homer which brought Warfield in from second base. In the course of the game, Smi...
Take a picnic and hike to the top of a buffalo jump for impressive views of the Madison River Valley. Situated on the edge of a broad valley carved by the Madison River, this high limestone cliff was used by Native Americans for 2,000 years - ending as recently as 200 years ago. Native people stampeded vast herds of bison off this massive semicircular cliff, using them for food, clothing, shelter and provisions. "Runners," highly skilled young men trained for speed and endurance, wore buffalo,...
Wildlife officials shot and killed a grizzly bear early Friday morning less than two miles from Ovando, where a woman was killed in a grizzly bear attack early Tuesday morning. The bear was killed at the scene of a second chicken coop raid that was very similar in nature to the one that happened in Ovando the night of the fatal attack. Given the proximity to Tuesday’s attack, the evidence found at the scenes and the fact another chicken coop was raided, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks officials believe this is the same bear but confirming DNA a...

After months of soaring highs, the price of lumber in the U.S. is finally coming down. Lumber prices plummeted more than 40 percent in June to $710 per thousand board feet. According to CNBC, this marks the largest monthly drop in lumber prices on record. The price of wood has fallen drastically since hitting all-time highs in early May, and experts predict that this downward trend will continue throughout the back half of the year. “I would not be surprised at all if we see the price continue to trail lower than $600 or below toward the y...

This edition of the paper contained the second of a two-part Ledger interview with Harrison area rancher and Montana State Legislator Karl Ohs. Following are brief excerpts from that article. The FBI was looking for Montana State Legislator Karl Ohs. The name of the Harrison area rancher was on a short list of legislators that the Freemen on the “Justus Township” ranch said they felt they could trust. A long-time friend and ranch employee was the father of a young woman at the Freemen ranch. Ohs was prepared to offer his services as a med...

While not of the gun-slinging Wild West lore, there is a battle being waged in Montana. The future of the Smith River and the health of the surrounding water quality and habitat is at stake. If Montanans lose, the casualty will be the natural resources that set Montana apart. In April, Montana green-lighted construction of the Black Butte copper mine north of White Sulphur Springs. This location is troublesome as it is adjacent to and directly underneath Sheep Creek, the most important tributary for the Smith. Construction and mining will drag...

The Montana Healthcare Foundation released a new report that shows that Montana’s Medicaid expansion program has supported significant improvements in the state’s behavioral health system, increasing its capacity to prevent and treat mental illness and substance use disorders. Moreover, with Medicaid expansion now providing a consistent payment source for substance use disorder treatment services, Montana’s budget for preventing harmful drug and alcohol use has doubled between 2016 and 2020. “Medicaid expansion is fueling an expansion of Mont...
State and local public health officials are reminding Montanans to take steps to avoid mosquito bites and prevent infection from West Nile Virus (WNV). In Montana, WNV season usually begins in July and ends in October, as this is when the mosquitoes responsible for it emerge. “As we head into West Nile Virus season all Montanans are encouraged to take the necessary precautions,” Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) epidemiologist Erika Baldry said. “There was only one case in 2020, and we want to keep it that way.
