Many of the citizens of this county consider the article on this subject which was copied by the “Examiner” from the “Miles City American,” as derogatory to the traditions of Powder River County, but also to the brave and...

This legislative session the main school funding bill is House Bill 15 (HB 15). Currently, HB 15 passed a second reading in the House and is providing an inflationary increase of 2.7% for fiscal year 24 and a 3.0% increase for fiscal year 25. Since the State of Montana is sitting on a surplus of one-time money there are rumors of a bill coming that may seek additional money for schools. Grants and other one-time revenue are nice. However, schools cannot rely on these funds for operational expenses. As I discussed in a prior article, a recent...

The Lady Hawks played some of their finest basketball of the year over the weekend, as they sealed up a second place conference placing with a win against Wibaux on Friday, and played a strong game against Ekalaka on Saturday. The Wibaux Lady Longhorns played a flex offense against Broadus; the first time Broadus had seen that offense all season. That new look led Wibaux to take the lead early and maintain it into the second half, where adjustments made to the defense by Broadus Coach Ashley...
