Specialists and health professionals agree the only way for Montana to deal with the statewide suicide crisis is to work together in a joint community effort. In Montana suicide is still running rampant. The latest data available, from 2017, showed Montana had the highest rate of suicide per capita in the nation, 28.9 per 100,000 residents, just ahead of Alaska, which had 27 per 100,000 residents. A recent study done by Seniorliving.org — online at https://www.seniorliving.org — said that in 2018 Montana had a rate of 29....

"My motto is, when I am reviewing my lines, learning what my character is doing, is saying, 'If I don't believe myself, if I don't believe what I'm saying, if I don't believe what I am doing and if I'm not authentic, then how can I expect an audience person to believe me?' That is what I work for is authenticity and making it real," local thespian Pam Veis said. An acclaimed local actress and director and a major player in Fort Peck Summer Theatre, Veis, originally from...

Out our way, you can ride for miles over some beautiful country and just enjoy the scenery — but suddenly realize you have no idea where you are or how to get home. Years ago, out in the EmpireRanch in Wyoming, my friend and mentor Elsie told me to get in the habit of checking your back trail. The scenery doesn’t always look the same coming the other way. That ridge you rode over heading east looks totally different heading west. So she taught me to check my back trail so I could find my way home again. As I have dis...
Jesus says, “I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life.” As I write this, I am still struggling to work through my own grief and anger after three more mass shootings this week in Gilroy, California; El Paso, Texas; and Dayton, Ohio. I have attended that very same festival in Gilroy and I was born in Dayton. It hits close to home, literally. Even as a pastor, it is my gut instinct to respond to a week like this by turning off the news, changing the station on the radio, throwing aside the newspaper, and staying off social med...
You know, Lord, now and then things just happen that are very pleasing to the eyes — well, maybe pleasing to all of our senses. One can’t help but pause and simply stand in wonderment about Your creation. It really is a shame we don’t notice the happenings daily, or even hourly, but we don’t. We take things for granted, as though they were our due, and are there, specifically for our well-being. Lately, several such days and special events passed before us; let’s call them actions or special delights that we can take pleasure...
Professional skateboarder Mitchell “Mitchie” Brusco, 22, competing Saturday in Skateboard Big Air at the X Games Minneapolis 2019, became the first skateboarder in history of the world to land a 1260 in the competition. That’s a spin of 3.5 rotations. Did anyone imagine such a thing could be done in the beginning? Skateboarding is relatively new in the history of sports. Sure the wheel has been around literally for ages, but it wasn’t until the 1940s that someone yanked...
