The Hill County Courthouse's west doors, which have been blocked off for the past few months, may be fixed in the next few weeks, a project that has taken a substantial amount of time primarily for logistical reasons. Hill County Commissioner Jake Strissel said the doors were heavily damaged earlier in the winter when someone delivering packages pulled on the locked doors too hard, thinking they were stuck, which bent the hinges and caused enough damage that they needed to be...
It seems that the risk of minor flooding from Lodge Creek moving into Hill and Blaine counties is low, as the National Weather Service was poised this morning to update their advisory in the area. The Weather Service Monday extended an advisory they had put out about flooding, the result of snow melt in Canada north this part of Montana, but this morning the service said they have no more concerns about increased flooding. National Weather Service Great Falls Meteorologist...
Editor, Montana families deserve the financial freedom that comes from good health and a hard day’s work. It is only fair. Under Gianforte’s government the uninsured rate has increased by 127,000 Montanans of all ages. His approach to Medicaid redetermination has failed. We all will pay for Gianforte’s comedy of errors, but wait, there is nothing funny about human suffering. Or so most of us believe. As a matter of fact, the Governor is hurting defenseless children, making it harder to work for their parents, and furth...
The legislative session in Montana is a full-contact sport. Bills get introduced that stoke controversy and debate. My bill (SB 442) was no different to begin with, but we ended up with a bill Montanans could be proud of. Thousands of Montanans were able to convince 130 of 150 legislators to vote for SB 442. It was popular because Montanans were able to put aside long-standing disagreements and work with their neighbors to help craft a bill that invests in every single one of us. As legislators get ready to override Gov....
I had a discouraging day yesterday. I don’t expect anyone to keep track — heck, I can’t keep track half the time. But I got another rejection of my book from another editor with another publishing house. I’ve read the stories of how long it has taken well-known authors to sell their first novel. A publisher has to put a lot of money into a new book, and the odds are slim that a writer’s first book will ever earn that money back. Publishers know this and so they are understan...
You shouldn’t need the arm strength of a gorilla to open a can of tuna. We live in a country where marketers insist opening cans is easy. And it is easy, if you define hard as easy. Maybe the American packaging industry wants to suss out foreign spies who grew up with jars. On my part, I’m just about ready to donate my cans to the local ballpark so I can see flying fish. Right now, the only thing I can see is a metal cylinder I’ve kicked around my kitchen. My walls have dents in them, but as far as I know, the fish are okay....

For the third straight year, Selection Sunday was a big day in Bozeman. That's because the Montana State men's basketball team was a part of of the festivities yet again.

The Bobcats will play fellow No. 16 Grambling State, with the winner advancing to the First Round of Midwes...
The season is less than a month from being over, but, Montana State University-Northern men's basketball coach is now hot on the recruiting trail. And he recently announced his first signing of the class of 2024-25. MSU-N head coach Shawn Huse announced last week the signing of 6-7 Forward, Ashton Taylor-Franklyn. A senior this past season at Ischool Academy in Lewisville, Texas, he averaged 10.5 points per game and eight rebounds per game, connecting on 63 percent of his...
