My great-uncle John never buttered his bread. “I don’t have time for butter!” he insisted. I never knew how much time butter took, but apparently it was more than Uncle John could spare. Time passes so often without notice. A day seems to pass in the time it takes to butter a piece of bread.

For an alarming moment reading the Friday editorial in Havre Daily News on Montana politicians bashing the president during the Ukraine crisis, I imagined the United States already at war with Russia. It is true that in times of war American politicians are expected to follow the leader, whether in the case of WWII (with rare exceptions like Montana’s Jeanette Rankin), or our more recent crusade to rid the world of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

After the 2020-21 Montana State University-Northern wrestling season was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the team's seniors were offered the chance to return and compete for one last year. With an opportunity to wrestle for another year, seniors Chase Short, Isaac Bartel and Nick Kunz jumped at the chance.
