As it works to create one of the largest nature reserves in the United States, American Prairie has reached a new milestone with its latest land acquisition in north-central Montana. The nonprofit now has more than a half-million acres of private and public land leases it manages after buying 51,731 acres in Phillips County, the second-largest purchase in American Prairie’s 23-year history, the group announced in a press release. American Prairie announced its latest land acquisition on Wednesday, Dec. 4, a parcel at the base of the Little Rocky Mountains in north-central Montana's Phillips County. The property contains a critical corridor for wildlife migration, according to Alison Fox, CEO of American Prairie, including water frontage on the Missouri River, as well significant portions of Siparyann, Duval and Antelope creeks, and the southern half of the Bull Creek watershed. The land also includes ponds and reservoirs, and a high percentage of intact shortgrass prairie that provides habitat for deer, antelope and grassland birds. “This is outstanding habitat for wildlife and we’re thrilled at the prospect of helping to provide safe passage for more animals between areas that are already federally protected,” Fox said in a statement. The land – composed of 2,557 deeded acres and 49,174 leased acres – is situated in the foothills of the Little Rocky Mountains. It is north of the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge, the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument is to the east, and it is located just one mile off Highway 191. This map shows American Prairie's land holdings as of October 2023. It is also close to American Prairie’s Mars Vista unit, allowing for the expansion of that property, which is home to the organization’s Antelope Creek Campground. This latest land purchase brings American Prairie’s total habitat base to 527,068 acres, which is comprised of 140,552 deeded acres and 386,516 leased public acres. American Prairie intends to share public access details, as it has done in the past, once the organization familiarizes itself with the property. "Providing public access is a cornerstone of the nonprofit’s mission and the majority of its private lands are open to the public for recreation," the group said. American Prairie’s lodging facilities include Antelope Creek campground, Buffalo Camp and the Myers Family Huts. “Not only does the addition of this property grow our overall footprint and our Mars Vista unit, it also means American Prairie will help steward an important area connecting the CMR and the Monument,” Fox said in a statement. As part of the land acquisition, American Prairie will be co-lessees on the Bureau of Land Management acres associated with this property and share the grazing privileges with two other entities. American Prairie currently leases out hundreds of thousands of acres – across 10 of its 12 management units – to more than a dozen local livestock producers who run approximately 9,000 head of cattle, the group said. “We look forward to working with our co-lessees to continue stewardship of this remarkable public resource,” Fox said. The group's presence in Montana has drawn fire from local and state officials who fear the loss of family ranches in the region. American Prairie's stocking of bison has also placed it in government officials' crosshairs as they've strived to impede the animals from grazing on leased federal lands.

Misconception 1: "Trump 2.0" will be an exact replica of Donald Trump.During the 37 th Awit Awards at the Music Museum last December 4, Parokya ni Edgar was conferred the Gawad ng Musikang Pilipino Award. Guitarist Gab Chee Kee first spoke thanking people followed by drummer Dindin Moreno who came on “in case (Gab) forgot to mention other people.” In Moreno’s short spiel, he recounted how Parokya ni Edgar was nominated for several awards during the 1996 edition held at the AFP Theater inside Camp Aguinaldo. But the band did not win anything. Two women behind them consoled them, “Huwag kayong susuko. Mananalo rin kayo.” Moreno offered the same advice to today’s young bands – “huwag kayong susuko.” I had left the Music Museum by the time Parokya ni Edgar received the deserved award. Learning about it, my heart swelled with pride. In the early 1990s, after the Eraserheads led the alternative band explosion in the country, every record company was in search of the next big thing. I was working for Universal Records at that time handling the company’s jazz and classical labels. It was rather surprising that my old boss, Ramon Chuaying, hired someone who loved rock music and all its sub-genres to handle jazz and classical music The manager who previously handled the position was asked to do something else. Chuaying had a radical idea – what if we hired someone who didn’t appreciate the music to market and sell it? If it didn’t work, then it was worth a try. If it did, then Chuaying was a genius. Me? I wanted to show the disbelievers that it would work. Of course, it was a gamble but I turned sales around by approaching jazz and classical as if I were promoting pop acts. Anyways, sales jumped when I took over. By late 1993, the person in charge of getting bands could not get anyone. My Ateneo batchmate and Cubao neighbor, Dominic Gamboa of the reggae band Tropical Depression, gave me a demo tape (recorded at Stephen Lu’s Loudhouse Productions), but UR bosses supposed that the only reggae people listened to is from Bob Marley and the Wailers. Much to my disappointment, they gave the thumbs down. Then Je Bautista, one year ahead of me at the Ateneo, bassist for Betrayed, fellow Rush and baseball fan, called me at home, and invited me to watch his band, “Put3ska.” “Ska sila,” Je said over the phone like magic words. We were both weaned on 2-Tone ska; that is all I needed to hear. So I went down to Malabon, loath as I was to go there. When I saw them, I was entranced. “Game,” I said to Je. Except my bosses were not impressed. “No one in the Philippines likes Mexican music,” was their reason. Sic, right? When we missed out on Color It Red, I was now upset. I was such a fan of the band. So I asked permission to sign some bands. After all, I was the one in the band scene. There were initially two bands I targeted from a list of seven bands. The first was Datu’s Tribe, followed by Parokya ni Edgar. Then came Fatal Posporos, Indio I, Sugar Hiccup, Sonnet 58, and Keltscross. Datu’s was easy to sign. The problem came after the first two songs they recorded, one of which was “Sarsa Platoon.” My bosses and the other manager look on with disdain. “No one listens to hard rock,” my boss yelled at me. “But we just sold 30,000 cds of Bon Jovi’s ‘Slippery When Wet.’” That’s different. I was rebutted, they are international stars. UR was willing to cut their early losses and run. For me to get Datu’s Tribe back on track, WLS and Triggerman. I called up Triggerman and placed the phone next to the speaker for him to listen to “Sarsa Platoon.” “Oo, pare,” enthused Milo (aka Triggerman), “Dalhin mo sila sa acoustic live show sa Sunday. Tugtog sila.” I called up their manager, Patrick Reidenbach, my Ateneo classmate who also owned Club Dredd, and informed him about the developments. When we performed on WLS that Sunday, the station was bombarded with calls about their upcoming recordings. I got a message on my pager about this live stunt as “preempting any marketing plans.” I was incensed. The chip on my shoulder was back. Anyways, Datu’s Tribe’s debut album went gold (20,000 units sold; we actually sold 22,000) as we proved their music – and Filipino hard rock would sell. And that was the first time Filipino hard rock sold that many units. Then came Paroka ni Edgar. Having struck out on Tropical Depression and Put3ska, Reidenbach called me at home (via the telephone because we never called them landlines back in the day). “Ricky,” Pat said, “Come over to Dredd because we have this band from Ateneo playing. And (our classmate) Ricky Santillan was managing them.” Ricky was invited by Patrick to have a look-see at the band at Dredd. “Maybe you can manage them so no one screws them over,” Ricky recalled Pat telling him. Those were the days when they covered Hagibis’ “Katawan” and dressed in dusters (Chito wearing a blue floral duster to go with boots). When I reunited with my old classmates, Ricky handed me his calling card which had the nickname “Rastaman”. Like me, we had gone into advertising. Tokayo stayed in the game when I got tired of clients calling me at home or paging me at midnight. When I saw them at Dredd, I fell in love with the band from the get-go. I saw them a few more times – not just at Dredd, but also 70s Bistro, at some shows in Ateneo and UP, that confirmed what I first felt. These guys had songs that would have crowds singing along as well as playable on radio, and they had magnetism and engaged the crowd. Plus, they kept the crowd in stitches. That is always a plus in my book. There was some affinity as well. Gab’s mom, Ching, was my English and homeroom teacher during fourth-year high school Ateneo. Mam Chee Kee was instrumental in getting me to take writing seriously. I remember that day when I brought Bella Tan for that Club Dredd audition. We left the office at Grace Park early to have an early dinner at her Talayan Village residence then got to Dredd (in her white Mercedes Benz) at exactly 6pm. Dredd opened early specifically for us. Just for the audition. Besides, the crowds did not arrive until past 8pm. It was just Bella, Ricky, my cousin John who lived with us then and asked if he could attend, and me. The band of course. They sang two songs – “Pangarap Ko Sa Buhay” – and Bella began giggling. That’s a good sign, I mused. By “Chikinini”, she was up and applauding. The third song that Tokayo and I lined up was “Nakaw ang Wallet Ko” but we never got there. The audition was over. Bella met with all and agreed to sign them. A day later, Bella met us managers at the office to discuss “the new signing”. While I was excited, my heart sank when the collective agreed to record only one song for a compilation. At that point, Datu’s Tribe hadn’t finished recording their debut, and we had nothing to show. I couldn’t hold back and reasoned that they had enough strong material for two whole albums. I pushed my luck, “If you don’t believe in them, I will take them to BMG.” “You can’t do that,” blurted out one manager. “I can,” I shot back. “We haven’t signed them anyways.” But I got what I wanted – a full album. I sat down with Santillan and the band to tell them what transpired. About two months later, now with other labels sniffing around Parokya’s shows, we signed the band. At the same time, some naysayers thought that novelty bands were not going to sell. If you look at the photo during that contract signing from the standing left, it’s Gab Chee Kee, Vinci Montaner, Chito Miranda, UR’s Jesse Saclo, me in the middle wearing a t-shirt of alt band the Youth, Dindin Moreno, Buwi Meneses, and Darius Semana. Seated are Ricky Santillan and Bella Tan. I was pretty pleased with myself. I shook hands with Tokayo and said, “Now, we prove people wrong.” Except a few weeks later, Santillan came over to the office for one of those early creative meetings for the upcoming recording, to inform us that he was moving to Singapore to join Bates Advertising in Jakarta. Ricky and Bella asked if I wanted to manage the band. I thought about it for a good 30 minutes and then declined. I had just gotten married and was on the family way. We didn’t have any house helpers and the prospect of being away on gigs as well as out-of-town shows was going to be a problem. At that time, Robert Javier was recommended by Ito Rapadas to produce their debut album. When I declined, he recommended Richard Tan, who was his manager with the Youth. Then Khangkhungkherrnitz , the debut album, was a massive hit. Barely a year later, the sophomore release, Buruguduystunstugudunstuy followed; once more a massive hit album. And Parokya was like a runaway freight train scoring one hit song, one hit album after another. The success of Parokya ni Edgar and Datu’s Tribe opened the door for other bands to join Universal Records – Kamikazee, Orange & Lemons, Sponge Cola, Rivermaya (for one album), and some others. Parokya? They were doing quite nicely for themselves. I remember after one US tour, I had coffee with Dindin somewhere in Maginhawa Street (he had some CDs for me as pasalubong) and he told me that since graduation, he never had a corporate job since the band paid well. When I met up with the band during a show at the Metrotent in October 2019 for what would be my first ever Parokya ni Edgar article, Chito sat next to me and showed me their schedule for the next three months. They were playing like every two or three nights. “Wow,” was all I could say. As we reminisced about the good old days, Chito asked me on the side if I ever regretted not managing them. My answer was this, “No. Not at all. Not once. In fact, I have followed you guys from afar and have been very happy for the band’s success.” Chito gave me a fist bump and a bro hug. When they received their Awit Award, like a proud distant relative, I cheered them as always from afar. Their sustained success is well-deserved and a product of their hard work. And my mind raced back to those early days at Club Dredd along Edsa. Image credits: Rick OlivaresBiden pardons his son, then commutes single-day record 1,500 sentences. What's next?

Brazilian police formally accuse former President Bolsonaro and aides of alleged 2022 coup attemptColorado is gearing up for the rugged Big 12 schedule, but first the Buffaloes wrap up their nonconference slate with two more games, starting Friday night when they host South Dakota State in Boulder, Colo. Colorado (7-2) has won two straight after competing in the Maui Invitational, most recently a 72-55 win over in-state rival Colorado State. Now the focus turns to South Dakota State and shoring up issues before conference play. "Defensively, we're understanding what our jobs are. Now, we're not where we need to be for sure," coach Tad Boyle said. "But we're making strides in that area. And I think the guys are getting used to playing with each other, understanding each other." The Buffaloes lost a lot of talent from last year's NCAA Tournament team but boast some quality players. Andrej Jakimovski (13.0 points per game), Julian Hammond III (12.3 ppg) and Elijah Moore (12.0 ppg) lead the team in scoring. Sophomore big man Bangot Dak has shown he can be a force after scoring a career-high 16 points in the win over Colorado State. The Jackrabbits (8-4) are coming off a 77-63 loss at Nevada on Wednesday night and complete a two-game trip in Boulder. South Dakota State is led by senior center Oscar Cluff, who tops the team in scoring (17.3 points) and rebounding (11.0) but had a subpar night against Nevada when he scored a season-low six points while battling an ankle injury. "I wish he was feeling a little better," coach Eric Henderson said of Cluff. "He's going to be fine, but he's still nursing that ankle a little bit." Freshman Joe Sayler is second on the team in scoring at 12.8 ppg and has reached double figures in each of the last three games. Sophomore Kalen Garry is third on the Jackrabbits in scoring at 9.6 per contest, an average that has been hurt by his last three games when he has averaged just 5.3 points. --Field Level MediaTitle: Police Warning: Beware of Empty Packages Concealing Scams—Don't Fall for Prize Fraud Schemes
