It’s no secret that I love the English language, despite all its frustrating faults. You can really do some magical things with it. The versatility of English by sound alone is a real asset for the language. Compare the sounds of “The drip pooled in the sink, then trickled into the pipes” to “Water gushed from the faucet, showering the walls and flooding onto the floor.” Yeah, yeah, it’s not magic, but listen to the words, how sound adds meaning. In the first sentence th...
Editor, Putin invaded Ukraine because Ukraine was a democracy. He did it because he is terrified of Ukrainians exercising freedom of speech, press, religion, and association, electing leaders who defy him. If Russians saw Ukrainians freely expressing their thoughts and thriving, Putin knows, they might want the same thing for themselves. They might get rid of him. Putin is invading Ukraine for the same reason he intervened in the U.S. election in 2016, helping Trump get elected. He wants to own the leaders of other...
Montana Actors' Theatre will soon open their newest play "The Harvest," starring some of their most veteran actors and written by MAT Executive Director Jay Pyette. The play, set on a small Montana wheat farm, revolves around the family dynamics of six adult children who come together from across the U.S. to help with the harvest after their father becomes too sick to run the farm. "It's about this family coming to grips with, not just their relationship with each other and th...
Americans have a history of coming together — even if only briefly — during times of crisis. World War I, World War II, the terrorist attacks on Sept, 11, 2001, those times brought Americans together to oppose a common enemy. Republicans and Democrats in Congress alike supported presidents Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s call to protect Americans and the world in global wars, and the nation came together to stand against terrorism in September 2001. Another was when America joined allies from around the world...

Editor, Heroes, Joe Manchin, Liz Cheney, Kyrsten Sinema, Adam Kinzinger, in Montana, Republican legislators not signing on to audit our 2020 election, former Gov. Marc Racicot — heroes — the courage to do the right thing versus the easy thing. Mitch McConnell recently said his party shouldn’t run “goofballs” for office — neither party should; our country, our state, need fewer goofballs making laws. I’m a D-Lite; I met Marc Racicot in 1988, supported him for attorney general and drove him in the Bucking Horse Sale parade....
In Montana, cattle outnumber people by nearly three to one, so it’s no wonder that Montana beef plays such a large role in our rich legacy of agriculture and our economy. Montana ranchers take pride in producing the best cattle and highest-quality beef in the world. The last thing they should have to worry about is getting a fair price for their product. I’m hearing concerns from hardworking Montana cattle producers who are struggling to compete with the four biggest packers who currently dominate the market. These large pac...
Kirby William Gilge 44 Born: March 23, 1977, Bozeman, Montana Passed away: February 20, 2022, Great Falls, Montana The world has not been blessed with many people that were as kind as Kirby.

Out of our way, as every Montanan knows, even the fiercest arctic blasts of an Alberta Clipper has to give way to the gentle warm breeze of the Chinook winds. I recall the snow piled up 8 feet tall along the road on a dark winter day shrinking within days when the sun replaced the storm clouds and the Chinook winds began to blow. I have often used the analogy of those tough times in life we all face being like a Montana winter. Our world is devastated as the dark clouds roll...
As we "march into the month of March" or as we "spring into Spring," I have to admit that I so enjoy egg salad sandwiches! Why do I start this article off this way? Well, the month of March ushers in the Easter (Resurrection of Jesus Christ) season, starting with Ash Wednesday on March 2nd. Then, on Thursday, March 10th, our ministerial association's series of Lenten Luncheons begins – luncheons that always include - you guessed it - egg salad sandwiches. All of these luncheon...
You know, Lord, when looking out at the starry sky, a song comes to mind: "My Lord! What a Morning!"[1] (From Rev. 6:12-13: ... when the stars begin to fall). A glimpse of fallings stars is the Perseid Meteor shower, in early August (Hey! – it's still Feb.!) When we were kids out on the ranch, we'd locate the North Star with the help of the Big Dipper, among the host of twinkling stars. We just missed seeing the Southern Cross flying home from Australia one year. Both the N...
