Less than a week after he announced his candidacy Rep. Matt Rosendale, R-Mont., suspended his controversial race for U.S. Senate against primary opponent Tim Sheehy and general election opponent incumbent Jon Tester.

The big news 100 years ago was County Attorney Arthur Lamey’s efforts to close C. W. “Shorty” Young’s Montana Concert Hall, a.k.a. the Honky Tonk.

The Honky Tonk was located where the Safeway building is located, more recently the former location of IGA, with Crib Row being where the former Cenex building, now Red’s,...
Why do the little changes take up so much space? I should qualify that with an addition, “in my head?” Really, most changes hardly make a dent in my consciousness. Change is constant. My favorite bowl slips from my fingers and shatters on the tile floor. Blip — gone. The rubber tip on my cane wears out. I replace it. Lola The Dog celebrates her birthday (OK, I celebrate her birthday). I notice she has quite a few more white hairs. Change, like a river, always moving. Other...

"This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life.

Now the ditches from which the road bed was made run along on both sides. Some call it a barrow ditch but others insist it is a...
