Dear Editor, I want to address something that is very personal to me, the American family farm. I grew up on a malt barley farm in Fairfield that has been in my family since the early 1950s and is still worked by my father today. I, like so many others on the Hi-Line and in Montana, cherish the memories and values we learned while living on the family farm. Driving grain trucks, setting dams, moving sprinklers and delivering lunches during harvest are all jobs many Montana farm families can relate to. One of the biggest...
Editor, It’s ironic, but does anyone see it? First, the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, letting states ban abortion, then the Supreme Court rules against the EPA fixing the climate crisis. The first was supposedly “pro-life,” but the second will kill people on an enormous scale. Supreme Court conservatives claim they care deeply about human life, but the ruling against the EPA proves they only pretend. According to the overwhelming majority of the world’s climate scientists, we had a very narrow window to prevent...
I don’t think I’ve been a particular target of the Fates or anything specifically paranoid like that, I’m just saying that they’ve been busy this month testing my human endurance, with casualties and costs still rising.

I sharpened my kitchen knives, which means — contrary to that old adage that you cut yourself worse with a dull knife — I’ve cut my...
Hurricane Estelle blew in lugging a heavy cloud blanket behind her until the sky looked like cry me a river. Day after day after day, darkness reigned and time warped, smudged and dripped down the mountain walls like Dali-esque clocks. If one took the sky and flattened it out like a topographical map, it would be criss-crossed by rivers cascading off the edges in waterfalls. (Flat sky, flat earth, what’s the difference!) Under cover of day as dark as nightfall, somebody sneake...
Argument is a way for people with differing perspectives on an issue, abortion, for example, to test and reshape each other's ideas and, sometimes, even reason out a new idea together. Unfortunately, not much reasoning together happens when everybody insists on the kind of high minded principles that inspire Facebook memes and protest signs, such as Life Begins at Conception versus My Body, My Choice. Arguments on the order of--Abortion is always wrong-- based on grand...

Nothing helps a football team win more than, perhaps, a great offensive line. Especially in the Frontier Conference, where the running game is so prevalent, offensive lineman are always at a premium. And there's some good ones returning to the Frontier this fall. Up front, the Carroll College Fighting Saints are always good, and they have a pair of First-Team All-Conference linemen coming back in Hunter Mecham and Andrew Carter, both of whom earned top honors a season ago....
