  • Looking out my Backdoor: Making my Retreat Center in the kitchen

    Sondra Ashton|Updated Feb 2, 2024

    Life is tough. At times, life is tougher. I’m on the periphery of that tough life but I feel it just the same. Baby Marley is still in the hospital in Billings. She’s not out of the woods, but slowly on the right path, healing from RSV and pneumonia and detoxing from the drug that kept her paralyzed during the worst of her personal storm. Mom and Dad still camp out in her room. Meanwhile, back home in Glendive, Grandma Dee and Grandpa Chris and Uncle Tyler are taking care...

  • Get to know your judges

    Updated Feb 2, 2024

    As you learn about all the candidates for various offices this year, the most important ones are the ones that most Montanans know the least about. The politicians you need to do the most research on are not the would-be congressmen, governors, or even legislators. It’s the judges. Although they claim to be above the political fray, judges in Montana are in fact politicians. From the district courts to the state Supreme Court, they’re elected. They have to run campaigns, raise money, and their fate is ultimately decided...

  • Setting the record straight

    Updated Feb 2, 2024

    Plain and simple — people get sick. Right now, more than 250,000 predominantly low-income Montanans get help with health care through Medicaid — a state-federal partnership. Montana has overall and primary responsibility, while the Feds pick up most of the costs, averaging 80% (of total Medicaid spending). In 2022, the federal government provided $1.8 billion to cover health care for Medicaid-eligible Montanans who live in every county across the Big Sky. Remarkably, two-thirds of Medicaid recipients live in our rural...

  • Out Our Way: If

    Updated Feb 2, 2024

    1 Chronicles 7:14 "If My people who are called by My Name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven,forgive their sin, and heal their land." Out our way, it is calving season. And new life begins again.

    Updated Feb 2, 2024

    That special time of year has come once again ... it's the weekend of the 90th Annual Norwegian Lutefisk and Swedish Meatball Dinner at First Lutheran Church! Some of the first white settlers to this area came from the frigid and fishy shores of Scandinavia, and they brought their religion, food preferences, and work ethic with them - and not much else! This annual dinner commemorates those Nordic ancestors who made this prairie their home, where they worshipped, worked, and...

    Updated Feb 2, 2024

    You know, Lord, 'twas fun checking February Calendar pages, seeing who had birthdays and who got married. We "knew" one child who'd been born on Valentine's Day! Neither of us knew anyone who claimed the eighth, 15th or 16th. But family and friends, loved ones, near and far were included! Alexia thought February was well-ordered, especially since she knew one guy in his late 90s. Her daughter peeked in - she'd been eavesdropping - she said, "Mommy, don't forget, we know a...

  • Grief Poem - Missing Them

    Updated Feb 2, 2024

    Just thinking, Lord, of some dear friends, who've simply gone ahead. Meaning family, neighbors and pals, they left us - joined the dead. We've fond memories of these dear ones and what they did while here; One Granddad did construction work; built 'much' within each year. A neighbor gal just loved to sew; she made most lovely quilts. Her garden too, a specialty, she never let it wilt. A Valley farm raised several kids; four kids just loved to sing! Played keyboard or stringed...

  • Lights cage Bears, Skylights fall

    George Ferguson|Updated Feb 2, 2024

    Needing a win in the worst way, the Montana State University-Northern Lights turned to their home crowd and the friendly confines of the Armory Gymnasium Thursday night. And it worked as the Lights toppled Rocky Mountain College, 87-83 to snap a four-game Frontier Conference losing streak. It was also Northern's second win over RMC this season. The Lights, though, had to come from behind to do it. Trailing 39-35 at halftime, Northern came out in the second half, outscoring...
