Friends of local motorcycle enthusiast and 40-year U.S. Army veteran Bill Arvin, who died in October of last year, will be holding a memorial ride in town Saturday in his name, a ride that will raise money for K9 Care of Montana. Ron Fanning, a lifelong friend of Arvin, said they served in the military together for many years and he was a genuine person who knew many people in the local community, a good motorcycle mechanic and a good man. “We were battle buddies in Iraq,” Fanning said. “… And I’ve known him since I was 12...
The Hill County Commission voted for a resolution to put a 3 percent tax on recreational and medical marijuana on the ballot for the 2022 general election at their weekly business meeting Thursday. The tax, which would take effect 90 days after the election should voters approve it, would impose a 3 percent sales tax on products sold by medical and recreational dispensaries in Hill County, what Hill County Commissioner Jake Strissel referred to as a “sin tax.” Of the money generated from the tax 50 percent would be ret...

Dear Editor: Talk is cheap, but prescription medicines are not. Millions of people can’t afford to keep paying what drug corporations charge for basic medicines like insulin or asthma inhalers, much less specialty cancer drugs or Alzheimer’s pills. Pharmaceutical companies are price gouging people who depend on life-saving medications simply because they can. Patients in the United States are paying twice what people in other nations pay for the same drugs. For over a decade, politicians have promised to lower drug prices and...
I don’t know about you, but I never can tell when I’m going to have a revelation. Like last weekend, I went with a friend to a quiet gem of a lake in central Montana and — boom — there it was a profound moment. I know what you’re thinking, water tends to inspire such things, and this water was clear, warm, glass smooth in a mountain setting, blah, blah, blah. It couldn’t have been more picturesque, but, no. I didn’t even touch the water. I was in a long-sleeved shirt, jeans...
Rain fell all night long. The ground was soggy, spongy. Flowers hung their heads from weight of water. The morning sky looked like moldy cottage cheese. Around noon, the sun broke through with promise. Every morning I take a small basket out to my mango tree and fill it with what wants to be picked. Today I put another quart of mango pieces in my wee fridge-freezer. It is jam-packed, literally, since I made two batches of freezer jam and the remainder of the space is...

Dylan Wampler is already a two-time NAIA Honorable Mention All-American and has twice been named All Frontier Conference for the Lights. Now entering his final...
Out our way, working with livestock is often a "contact sport." I have been kicked, stomped, bitten, and tossed more than once. I expect most folks who deal with critters can say the same. Sometimes it came without warning - but generally I simply was paying attention to the signs. I was once on a friend's ranch up in the Bear Paws just off the Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation and we were standing around chatting when a young calf came wandering by. My friend got the idea it wou...
Last week I had the opportunity to serve as the cafeteria supervisor at our Kids Camp at Glacier Bible Camp in Hungry Horse, Montana. We served 600 children and staff three meals a day all week long. For each meal I supervised a staff of about 20 people, many of them teenagers. As we "worked our tails off" every meal: serving the food to the children; helping them get their trays to their tables; cleaning up so many spills; washing the tables after each group came and went; he...
You know, Lord, sometimes charity does not involve money/cash. More or less, it helps if a person is in a giving mood to give many different things, maybe like clothes, blankets, even art, a stove, maybe even an automobile (we've even seen that happen - how special, right?); or how about some stocks or bonds? Recently someone even gave some real estate ('twas out of state, but we learned about it!) and then there is giving of our time. Probably the most important part of...
