Emily Wang Fujiyama, Tara Copp and Lolita C. Baldor Associated Press BEIJING — China’s Foreign Ministry said today that a balloon, seen over locations including Montana, that the U.S. suspects of conducting surveillance was a civilian “airship” used for research, mainly meteorological purposes. The statement said the airship has limited steering capability and “deviated far from its planned course” because of winds. It said China regrets the unintended entry of the airship into U.S. airspace. The discovery further str...

I recently recognized the fact that I’ve been working my way through the five stages of greed. All I can say is that not all of life’s progress is in a positive direction. I’d like to blame my office’s personal benefactor, the cookie lady, who is, after all, a sweet little old cookie pusher. So I do. She has grandma-style old-fashioned manners, which mean she has her own wiliness. It’s like that social media challenge “How do you tell me (something), without actually te...
We finished Week Four of the 68th legislative session last week. For breakfast one morning last week, we were hosted by 4-H members from most of the counties throughout Montana. My home county sponsored me, and I also got to say hello to Chouteau County 4-H’ers as they sponsored Rep. Paul Tuss. Additionally, the School for the Deaf and Blind from Great Falls performed a song for us using American Sign Language. It was a very impressive program to have on the floor of the Senate. I just looked at the proposed constitutional a...
On a cold winter morning in the town of Clancy, state legislators gathered to make sausage. Clancy has two bars, two churches, a school and a post office. It’s the kind of place that lends itself to community sausage making. There is an old expression that you don’t want to see two things being made: sausage and laws. But when the Maureen and Mike Mansfield Center brought together a bipartisan group of legislators, we learned that saying sells both short. We were called together to learn, both literally and figuratively, how...
My Grandma came to live with us when I was four so that my Dad didn’t have to farm me and my sister out to relatives. Grandma was a good cook and taught me the learn-it-by-doing-it method. She told me that she had to bake bread every day raising her own seven children and she didn’t intend to bake another loaf of bread. Funny, she made bread rolls every Sunday and the pies, cakes, cinnamon rolls, cookies that rolled out of her oven were bountiful and delicious. There were thi...

Winter is a hard time on the Hi-Line - especially in the Season of the "Alberta clippers," the Arctic winds that remind us there is nothing between is and the North Pole but a barbed wire fence ... and someone left the gate open. Although God has blessed the Hi-Line with warm "chinook" winds that give us numerous faux-springs during the harshest winter months, sometimes the chinooks don't come for and there are only the winter storms. The good news is that because of the...
