Editor’s note: This version corrects that the grant proposal is only in planning stages and still has to be presented to the Hill County Park Board for approval, that the committee does not spend anything as it is an advisory committee and that Lou Hagener is a community member who participated in Thursday’s meeting.

The first Earth Day on April 22, 1970, activated 20 million Americans from all walks of life and is widely credited with launching the modern environmental movement. The passage of the landmark Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act and many other groundbreaking environmental laws soon followed. Twenty years later, Earth Day went global, mobilizing 200 million people in more than 190 countries and lifting environmental issues onto the world stage. One example of this movement, Earth Day Network works year...
For the record, I don’t need anyone to applaud me or approve of the way I negotiate life for me to feel validated, but sometimes that kind of support makes me want to laugh like a jerk, “haaaa haaa hah!” while pointing my bust-a-cap fingers in that sort of “middle-aged white woman tryin’ a be all gansta” way. A clean house? Overrated. And now they’re also a waste of taxpayer dollars in Beaverton, Oregon, where a babysitter got several cops, including a canine unit, involve...

Farmer and businessman Bob Quinn said that in 1978, when he returned home from California to the family farm in Big Sandy with his with his wife and children, he simply intended to make a living on his family's farm.

Out our way, most folks who look like cowboys probably are. Even exceptions like me — an amateur greenhorn — have chaps that are discolored and scratched up from working cows in the thickets, boots well-broken-in from hours of riding and a battered old hat worn in wind, rain, snow and soaked with sweat. But now and then, one runs across a “dude” who wants to look the part but has never done it. A friend of mine in Great Falls owned a ranch store called the H Bar O — H-O — where he regularly helped outfit local ranchers and fa...
You know, Lord, comfort and safety, that’s our motto. It’s so easy to hide our heads in the sand, pretending there are no problems. We’re like everyone else, aren’t we, Lord, wanting to wash our hands of the whole affair. One chap with that attitude is written about in the Gospels. The scene, so long ago, was dramatized in the city of Jerusalem. We picture the event which unfolds involving Pontius Pilate, the governor (recorded in Matthew 27). Pilate, a procurator, was in the judgment hall of the palace. A crowd watched...
