"It'll never be better," Ruth said, before explaining how she and her husband are learning to live without Jesse. The Dannelses say they wouldn't have strength without support from their community and their faith. Things are most difficult early mornings and late nights, Ruth said, with Bob slightly nodding in agreement. "We wait for him to come home late at night," Bob added, slightly tilting his head down. The Dannelses talked Wednesday afternoon in their Chinook home about...

The nasty name-calling has lowered the level of public discourse. We can blame Donald Trump, but many others have lowered themselves to his level. Laurel —That’s why it’s great to live on the Hi-Line. It’s hard to imagine a race with sharper ideological differences than they have in District 28, Havre’s seat in the Montana House. Republican Stephanie Hes...
I had heard about it, yes, but I did not want to actually hear it, you know, with my ears — or worse, see it with my eyes at the same time my ears were hearing it. I am, of course, talking about the news clip of presidential candidate Donald Trump calling fellow Republican Ted Cruz the P-word during a presidential rally. Not that any of the P-words bother me in normal circumstances. Technically, I am a P-word. Also, I’m not running for president. Language like that from a possible future dignitary and I’m thinking, “Real...

Two minutes: That's about how long it took Heidi Nystrom to notice a newborn calf stuck in its sack, realize no one else saw the situation, and run to the barn to save the calf. Nystrom was drinking a cup of coffee at the main house when she saw the problem on the video feed from a system of cow cameras installed earlier this year by Triangle Communications. "I'm waiting, I'm calling, panicking," Nystrom said. Then she saw steam in the corner of one of the camera's views. Her...

Jesus went into a house but the crowds that followed him were so great neither he nor the disciple could even find the time or freedom to eat. Now when his family and those with whom he had grown up heard about this, they tried to come and take him away, for they believed he must be deranged. - The Rev. John Bruington's paraphrase of Mark 3:20-21 Out our way, talk is cheap and actions speak louder than words. Goliath and Babe both think they have a smooth gait, but the truth...
