Reports have indicated that up to 85% of junior high and high school kids in Broadus have tri...

Editor’s Note: The following is a continuation of last week’s article, which dealt with the public meeting in Broadus regarding the FWP purchase of the Brewer Ranch, in NE Powder River County. The sale was met with heavy resistance from locals, but went through anyway. Rancher-outfitter John Stuver stated that it would be an “error to purchase this property. It is a fragile land. If there is an increase of hunting you’re going to eradicate the wildlife,” he said. His outfitting partner Rick Gatlin said that 38 percent of the land in Montana...

Dear Dori, My daughter has been coming home asking to take a college class. She is still in high school. Can she do that? What if she isn’t academically ready?
