The Powder River County Sheriff’s Office has undergone a few changes over the last few weeks. Officers now sport body cameras, which time has become an integral part of the American law enforcement officer’s kit. Body cameras, when used properly, have been used to keep officers safe from prosecution when there are claims of abuse or illegal arrest, and they’ve also been used to keep the public safe, as footage of an improper stop or arrest may be seen in court. The cameras have not been without controversy – body camera video footage has spa...

The Broadus Hawk Wrestlers competed in Hardin over the weekend. Coach Frankie Schoonover took 10 matmen to the meet, which also happened to be the final test for the Hawks before Divisional Tournaments. "We had a good weekend," Schoonover said of Hardin. "It was an opportunity for us to fine tune our skillset before tournaments, and though the matches are tough, it's not our toughest tournament, which means guys were able to build some confidence. That being said, there's still some really...
Boys The Broadus Hawk boys team traveled to Ekalaka last Tuesday. In their previous meeting here in Broadus, Ekalaka's star player, 6'4" Mick O' Connor, was out for the game. O' Connor was back in action on Tuesday, and he made sure his presence was known against the Hawks, accounting for 26 points, 13 rebounds, and 5 blocks. Between O' Connor's presense, and the Hawk's lack of good shooting (26% from the field), Ekalaka was able to pull away early and stay ahead throughout the game, eventually...

Courtesy of Shaylee Ragar and Tim Pierce, UM Legislative News Service, University of Montana School of Journalism HELENA — Lawmakers in Helena are beginning discussions on how to build and maintain the state’s infrastructure, including roads, bridges, wastewater systems and state buildings.

In 2017, legislators voted to end the session without funding public works projects. Some legislators thought Democratic Gov. Ste...

We will include snippets from that time period over the next few weeks. January 21, 1949 Three Blizzards Since Christmas Holidays Are Responsible for Hardest Winter Since Heavy Snows of 1935-1936 Winter The much-a...

The state budget (HB 2) is in its early stages of development. The six subcommittees are hearing presentations from the various agencies they oversee, as well as public...
