One of the big stories this week is about how eight U.S. Marines outsmarted a government artificial intelligence system by employing classic stealth tactics usually seen in Saturday morning cartoons and campy comedy movies — the exact type of maneuvers that would never work in real life. Until they do. A page from an advance copy of the book “Four Battlegrounds: Power in the Age of Artificial Intelligence,” written by former Pentagon policy analyst and Army veter...
Montana is fortunate to be a state with farmers, ranchers and organizations dedicated to making quality food available to our communities. Unfortunately for many, local fresh food remains out of reach because of their income level. The Montana Farm to Food Bank program, House Bill 276, sponsored by Representative Marty Malone, R-Pray, aims to change that. Right now, state lawmakers have an opportunity to nourish families, boost rural economies and strengthen local food systems by supporting HB 276. Montana Farm to Food Bank...
Montanans respect “honest pay for honest work.” By putting these words into action, we can provide for ourselves and our families, while creating the opportunity for a better life today and tomorrow. Unfortunately, people aren’t always fairly compensated for their hard work. American Indians, for example, make around 77 cents for every dollar a white worker earns for substantially similar work. More disturbing, Native women are paid just half (51%) of what white men earn. White women also have a substantial pay gap, earning a...
Some days, it is a great comfort to me. Other days, a rather delightful joke, makes me chuckle at myself. I can still hear the laughter in my friend’s voice as he said to me, all those hundred years ago, “Tomorrow things will be different. They may not be better. They may not be worse. But they will be different.” I was a bit of a drama queen back then, a bit hooked on adrenaline. Even tragedy held excitement. I was prone to jump to conclusions, to make decisions and leap into...

Out our way, February is calving season. Soon the grasslands will be filled with the sounds of calves bawling and mama cows soothing with quiet and comforting lowing. Later, when the grazing lands are freer from the frost and ice, Charlie and I will start riding the area and get "acquainted." I have shared this before, but I am always amazed at how cattle - who are not the sharpest tool in the toolbox - have the ability and indeed the desire to not only look after their own...
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man/woman of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 One night a boy fell out of his bed. The next morning when he told his mother, she asked him how it happened. He answered, "I don't really know, but I expect I stayed to close to where I got in." There are many people who also stay too close to where they originally got in...
You know, Lord, that word "time" - now that is an appropriate word for another new decade which, more or less, has already begun, right? Checking out the dictionary, we view lists of numerous definitions. No matter what our status is or what our opinion of the word is, an equal amount the "time" is given to each one of us, every single day. People like to speak of time as "spending" it, as though there is an endless reserve of time; and some of us folks simply like to live...

The Havre High boys and girls basketball teams are back in action this Saturday as they will both play Lewistown. The games are designated home games for the Blue Ponies, but they will actually be played at the Metra in Billings.

The night will get started with the HHS boys basketball team playing the...
Against some of the top teams in the Frontier Conference, the Montana State University-Northern women’s basketball team had been knocking on the door. Time and time again, the Skylights were so close. They got there again Thursday night, only to have a former Hi-Line star shut that door in heart-breaking fashion. Box Elder’s Joelnell Momberg buried a 3-pointer with :10 left in the game, lifting her No. 15 Montana Western Bulldogs to a 49-47 win over the Skylights in the Arm...
Normally, comebacks take the course of a game, or at least a half. Not for the Montana State University-Northern men’s basketball team. Thursday night, the Lights erased an 11-0 deficit to start their game with a 15-0 run in a 70-58 win over the Montana Western Bulldogs inside the Armory Gymnasium. The victory avenged an earlier home loss to Western and improved Northern’s league record to 4-5. “Our team is improving so much and that’s been the goal all along,” Northern...
