JACI WEBB Laurel Outlook Editor Then-U.S. Senator Jon Tester woke up early one Sunday morning last fall to watch his favorite news program, CBS News Sunday Morning. He had managed to tune out most of the negative commercials that seemed to get more personal as the election cycle wore on, and Tester thought he would catch the news, but political ads popped up. One of the most offensive to him was the commercial accusing Tester of voting against support for white American...
From the MSU News Service BOZEMAN — For more than 40 years, an area of Cretaceous rock exposures in northwest Montana, often called “Egg Mountain,” has been the site of exciting fossil discoveries, including ones by paleontologists from Montana State University’s Museum of the Rockies as well as a Rudyard science teacher. Now, it has been named an International Geoheritage Site. The designation identifies such sites “as being of the highest scientific value. They are sites that served to develop the science of geology,...
Press release The Havre High School speech and debate team fielded possibly its smallest-ever team to go to Class A Eastern Divisionals in East Helena last Saturday, but still saw the best divisional results it has seen in years.

Saturday morning at 9:30, an hour before opening, the parking lot was already full as skiers and shredders eagerly anticipated their first runs on the new snowfall at Bear Paw. They were not disappointed. The entire mountain was covered with up to 18 inches of new powder on top of an already deep base. Whereas the bowls and Four Souls have consistently good conditions, it is not always the case with the Face. Wind or sun or warm weather can make for challenging conditions or...

Poor thing. She’s elderly, has hip pain, a neurological disease and dementia, which is also neurological, I’m told. Who knows what goes on in a dog’s brain. As if the above were not enough, Dude thinks I’m hers. I wonder who I was in her past life, or who she thinks I was. She is a large dog. In size, comparable to a Labrador or German Shepard. This gal is long-bodied and blonde. Perhaps blondes do have more fun. She would be happy if she could sit in my lap all day. I shudd...
Indigenous Nations have always known this day would come. Tribes have endured centuries of brutal physical and political onslaughts in order to fight for our right to exist. Now, our right to live in our own country is being questioned. Trump issued a birthright citizenship executive order within the first days of his administration that has opened the door for the deportation of immigrants. It didn’t take them long to include Native American citizenship in this conversation. It is Trump’s opinion that Native Americans sho...
Montana has historically played an important part in US energy transitions throughout its one hundred thirty-five-year history. We have a unique opportunity to continue to play an important part in the current quest for energy independence … but only if we look forward. Butte, America, became a virtual metropolis overnight because of electrification of the country. The copper ore in the “richest hill on earth” was critical to the modernization of America and the world. The industrial use of electrical energy was vital befor...
Matthew 7:15 'By their fruits you will know them' Out our way, in the heart of what we all (including Native people) call "Indian Country"; we are surrounded by reservations. The Chippewa-Cree, the Gros Ventre, Assiniboine, Black Feet and the various branches of the Sioux (Dakota, Lakota, Takota, and Nakota). Now, as it happens, I am friends with folks from various cultures and have 4 of the most beautiful "granddaughters" who "adopted"me as "Poppa" John. Although it is not a...
For more than half a century since the adoption of the Montana Constitution, candidates for judicial office have run as nonpartisans. The Montana Legislature is considering legislation, SB 42, that would upend that practice and require that judicial candidates run as a member of a political party. It also would allow political parties to endorse and contribute to judicial candidates. We discourage the Legislature from adopting this dramatic change to the election of judges thereby requiring them to run for office as any other...
This Saturday, February 1, is the third holiest (or most smelly, depending on your sensibilities) day of the year for First Lutheran Church: The 91st Annual Norwegian Lutefisk and Swedish Meatball Dinner. In honor of this feast for the senses, I offer you some Proverbs, with a few changes if we imagine that Solomon the Wise was a lutefisk-lover from north-central Montana. Proverbs 20:3 - "A child who loves wisdom makes a parent glad, but to keep company with prostitutes is to...
You know, Lord, a friend shared about seeing goodness of folks while out shopping. If we're paying attention, we might also see a 'helping hand'. Last week, a short elderly lady, tried to reach a box of pasta off the top shelf in the grocery store; no way could she reach it. A lad near her, turned, asked if she needed help. She smiled, pointed to a certain 'box' - he grabbed it, handed it to her; she thanked him. He actually looked a bit surprised to hear her say, 'THANK YOU!'...
