If only we could step back in time to talk to some of our favorite historical figures that we've loved reading so much about in school Last Thursday, the North Gym at Cascade Public Schools became a portal to history, a time machine if you will, full of characters from days gone by. It was the Second Annual Historical Wax Figure Museum, featuring Kourtney Holten's 4th grade class, and Amanda Brown's World History class. The students selected a character they wished to portray, did their...
The District Music Festival was a successful event this year! The Cascade High School Band students travelled to Great Falls last Thursday and Friday to participate in the annual District Music Festival. The Thursday events were made up of bands and choirs from our district. Our band performed 2 numbers for adjudication and one for sight reading. The students played very well and earned an excellent rating for their prepared pieces and a superior rating for sight reading. The adjudicators were...
This week is the eighteenth week of the 2023 Montana Legislature. As of last Friday, we have completed seventy-nine out of a possible ninety days. Depending on how things proceed, this could be the last week of the 2023 Legislative Session. As we approach the end of the session, the focus shifts from general bills to the state budget and bills which have a fiscal impact on state government. General bills are bills which are primarily policy oriented in nature. At this point, most of the general bills have passed through the legislative process...
Many years ago, I attended an event that was a failure. A sizeable number of people were involved but success or failure rested on the leadership of one individual. What followed was an utter abdication of responsibility. It was obvious no preparation had been made. The “leader” did nothing the occasion demanded. No one’s life was endangered but everyone’s time was wasted. Clearly the leader had little or no respect for those who made the effort to participate. When the Mountain Men headed out into the wilderness they carried with them almost...
HELENA – Congressman Matt Rosendale (MT-02) issued the following statement in response to the April 24 events at the Montana State Capitol: “I’ve participated in many spirited debates during my time in Montana’s state legislature — lively civil discourse is encouraged as we work to find the best policy solutions for Montanans, but there is no room in the public square for political violence. I’m thankful for our brave law enforcement officers who kept those involved safe, and I look forward to the Montana House of Representatives returning t...

I feel that many people like the idea of Jesus rising from the dead, because they have hope that the grave is not the end of ones being. They have the idea that everyone will benefit from the “gift of salvation” and receive a “get out of hell free card”. We have the right to think that way because as free moral agents, we can think what we want. We can act however we want, but consequences will be required. That is where things get a bit messy for us. Those who by faith believe that Jesus paid the penalty for their sins by his death can hav...
Mackenzie Stutzman lives a full life. An entrepreneurial furrier, she enjoys riding and training horses, snowmobiling, hiking, hunting, and fishing. Among all these interests, one sport rises above the rest: volleyball. Although she played volleyball and basketball from sixth grade onward, during her senior year Mackenzie coached volleyball for younger students on public and homeschool teams. In August, Mackenzie returns to the court as Montana Christian College’s volleyball coach. The intersection of sports and mentoring students is her p...
SPRINGS, COLORADO (March 2023) – Throughout history, Americans have lifted up fervent prayers to God on behalf of our nation. From the first gatherings of our Founding Fathers through every year’s Presidential Proclamation of the National Day of Prayer, our nation rallies around common needs and themes to draw into prayer. This year, the National Day of Prayer 2023 theme is, “Pray Fervently in Righteousness and Avail Much,” coming from the promise in scripture found in James 5:16b NKJV that says, “the effective fervent prayer of a righteous...
It was a full house at Wedsworth Hall Friday night as the community came out to support youth baseball and softball at the "Bingo for Baseball Night" fundraiser.

In response to this concern, FWP is embarking on research efforts to look into the declines and engage hunters about their attitudes on mule deer management and hunting. Mule deer numbers have typically been tracked over large areas using aerial surveys and declines can be attributed to several different things including winterkill, short-term habitat c...

Yep it’s often been a bit breezy, but according to John Melrude of Alma, Montana you ain’t seen nothing yet. John’s ‘Tale of A Windy Day.’ “Sure it’s windy today. Not too bad at that. Say, back in twenty-four there really as wind. Not a breeze just like now. I remember, spring of twenty-four it blowed so hard it started to lift rocks up off the ground. I was breakin’ a forty of prairie that was rocky, and I had a tough time. Had to keep my arm in front of my face. At that, I had black eyes from them danged rocks all spring.” Thomas Polly of B...
