Winning the big payout in any lottery is rare because the odds are astronomically against that happening, but that holds true for a lot of things. Because the lottery folks are in the business of making money, they take paying it out very seriously. In the U.K., people who play the British National Lottery have about a 1-in-45 million chance of winning the scratch ticket’s big payout, which is significantly better than the 1-in-292.2 million odds of winning the U.S. Powerball....
At the start of the legislative session, I delivered my fourth and final State of the State address. I shared my optimism that in Montana we can still be a shining example of how our political system is supposed to work and that as elected leaders we should base our decisions not only on today’s needs, but with an eye toward improving the Montana our kids and grandkids — future legislators and governors — will inherit. That optimism was proven out in the 66th Montana Legislative Session. Nearly every proposal I asked the l...
A half-century ago the power in Montana politics was the Montana Power Company. Created to provide electricity for the operations of the Anaconda Copper Company, “the terrible twins” dominated Montana both economically and politically for most of the last century. Through their organizations they recruited legislative candidates from both parties, kept track of legislative votes and selectively informed Montanans by the newspapers they controlled. Much of the old order changed with the adoption of Montana’s 1972 Const...

It will also be the final home meet for 12 seniors and is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. While the Havre athletes are...

Out our way, we know that working cattle from horseback has its potential dangers. Wise cowhands remind me that if I am going to push cows in the Tiger Ridge, it is not a question of if I will get hurt but when. Indeed, even my doctor — a fellow horseman — laughed the second time I came to him with sprained ribs. He knew it would happen because it happens all the time. My pard, Charlie, also knew this, and indeed a few years back was so badly hurt they took him to the ER in town. He ended up in a wheelchair, and died not tha...

It was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress, and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. The National Day of Prayer has great significance for us as a nation as it enables us to recall and to teach the way in which our founding fathers sought the wisdom of God when faced with critical decisions. It stands as a call for us to humbly come before God,...
You know, Lord, it’s a glorious bright sunny morning that dawned a few hours ago. We just heard about a test so let’s see how the Sunshine Test works? It probably works best after a bit of rain for then the whole scene from the window looks scrubbed and clean. It’s lovely out there as the evergreens trees almost sparkle; why, even the few clouds that are sailing above look fluffy and white and freshly washed. The sun shines brightly through the windows, but — oops! Those windows just barely pass the test and here we had jus...

If we give up when snow is deep, we’ll miss rest of the year. Can’t let the pains of one season steal memories that are dear. Remembering you who’ve gone away, far off to silent land, Somehow, some day we’ll understand, though we don’t clasp your hand. You were my North, South, East and West, my noon, my talk, my song; My working week, my Sunday rest; my Love you’re missed! You’re gone! Recalling flowers at our feet and birds singing above; Our prairie walks in the Springtime below God’s splendid love. We play and smile...
