With Christmas and New Year celebrations behind us, we are now entering the dark days. Days with long, black nights and the freeze of winter settled into the cold, hard ground. And days upon weeks upon months in which time stretches out before me like an endless frost-heave crack in a sidewalk, like a ragged black rut of the grind and the day-to-day toil of someone who doesn’t have another paid holiday away from work for five months. Yes, five months of inhumane treatment, caught in this nerd-infested hell-hole until the swee...
Dart — Montana prides itself in having a citizens’ government where everyday people make decisions that affect the common good. But for everyday people to be able to make decisions, they have to be trained in some of the complexities of local and state government.

Now, funding for the center has been dropped from the proposed state bud...

arkling record with just one blemish and a balanced team with a tenacious defense.

Now however, the Frontier Conference season is upon the Skylights (15-1), and things are going to get really interesting. The No. 15 Skylights begin league play tonight when the Montana Tech Orediggers (8-7) invade the Armory Gymnasium at 6. The home stand continues S...

“Preach the Gospel at all times but only use words when necessary” — St. Francis of Assisi Out our way, Hi-Line folks get the point of that beloved saint who is so often portrayed as holding a bird or other animal. Legend has it that animals just took to this man of God because the love of God so clearly shone in him they could just sense it. There may be something to that as I have noticed dogs, cats and small children seem to “read” people and know who is the good guy and who might be trouble. I would love to be such a lo...
