A lot has changed in one year, and the Savage Hall Board cannot thank the community enough for the support to turn things around. A great deal of time has been spent on making much needed changes.

In the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic, staying active as an organization is difficult, but the McKenzie County Extension Office has implemented ways to keep the 4-H fair time experience alive. By implementing a virtual 4-H market animal sale and hoping for a 4-H Achievement Day at a later date, the McKenzie County Extension staff believe this will help provide a fun 4-H experience for 4-H members while still following CDC guidelines. Due to the 2020 McKenzie County Fair being canceled, there will be a virtual sale of the 4-H market animals...

The tragic drowning of a Great Falls man who was swimming in Belt Creek near the Sluice Boxes area on Wednesday is a good reminder for swimmers, boaters, floaters and anglers to use caution in and near the water. Water levels are higher and swifter in rivers throughout Montana due to spring runoff, and recreationists should be aware of extra risks that come with high flows. These conditions can change rapidly, creating new and hidden hazards for boaters. Water temperatures are also especially cold this time of year, which increases the risk of...
I’d like to thank the folks of Richland County for their support in my campaign for House District 35. We had many people reach out with offers to help campaign, and to host yard signs, and many others with prayers and well wishes. I’ve spoken with the incumbent and he wished me well, and I wish him well in his other endeavors. I’m grateful for the opportunity to bring real Conservatism back to Helena and to represent the needs of Richland County. Thank you for your support. Sincerely, Brandon Ler...
When it comes to reaching weight loss or muscle gain goals, the first step in most people’s plan is to address what they are doing from an exercise standpoint – sorting out what they can do to burn extra calories to lose a few pounds or what resistance training program they can follow to build muscle.

I often tell my clients that diet is at least 70% of the picture when it comes to reaching your fitness goals. Here are a few helpf...

My husband loves to spend time in the woods. He’ll travel several miles to reach our BLM ‘big timber’ country, where he enjoys the scenery, the hushed solitude of the forest, and the search for firewood. Logging puts him in a good mood as well, whether he fells standing dead trees or cuts up deadfall. He enjoys chopping trees into manageable pieces, loading the chunks on the pickup, and hauling them home for future winter use. When he takes a cruise in the side-by-side, he always carries a chainsaw, gas, oil, and assorted tools with him on th...
