I have often referred to the spring graduation ceremony as our “Super Bowl.” It is the main event that transpires after thirteen years of education filled with adversity and celebration as our youth make the difficult transition to adulthood. Thirteen years is a long time considering many youth struggle to wait thirteen seconds. In a society so focused on “immediate gratification,” it is easy to lose sight of the ultimate goal. The educational and often over-looked social tribulations students experience in school help to guide them on their n...

Much of Eastern Montana was bathed in bountiful moisture on May 6th and 7th, as a storm covered a large portion of the area. Broadus officially received 2.62” at the courthouse. The storm dropped much needed moisture on the area after an exceptionally dry and windy April. In the month of April, Broadus received 0.44” of moisture, spread out throughout the month – only two days had over a tenth of an inch, and that was quickly blown away into the atmosphere by high winds. When looking at wind data, the stations with the most accessible data are...

An outbreak of gastrointestinal (GI) illness occurred in Montana in the spring of 2023, when 51 people got sick after eating raw or only partially cooked morels at a restaurant. Three hospitalizations and two deaths were associated with this outbreak. Those who became...

Last month we learned that Lanette was able to procure the use of a typewriter thanks to the local schoolteacher who purchased one. Lanette willingly instructed the schoolteacher on how to use it in exchange for use of the typewriter. That way she started to type out the lyrics she had been recording from Mr. Fordwick’s songs. Her proposed manuscript to a publisher will be more official typewritten than by hand. Lanette also spoke of meeting Thad Clay at a dance, visiting her usuals on her routes, and getting ready for Ada’s wedding in Apr...
