This weekend, the Blue Ponies will end the season as they will compete in the Class AA-A State Meet in Butte.

"My expectations are for everybody to go and compete as hard as they can, whether it's to...

Jon Tester, D-Mont., and Jerry Moran, R-Kan., the chair and ranking member of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committe, respectively, held a press conference Thursday to talk about the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act of 2022. “This bill will address decades of inaction (and allow) the U...
The Hill County Commission spent a half-hour at their weekly business meeting Thursday discussing the procedural propriety of approving a $4.87 claim, which they denied at the recommendation of Hill County Auditor Kathy Olson and against the recommendation of Hill County Treasurer Sandy Brown and Hill County Clerk and Recorder Sue Armstrong. Before discussion began, Hill County Commissioner Diane McLean, reading from the relevant areas of Montana Code Annotated, said the commission can override Olson’s request with a m...

Out our way, hunting strays goes with the trade. Most calves stick close to Mama and the herd, but now and again a stray "dogie" wanders off and gets lost. This is especially true with open range cattle that populate the Beaver Creek area for a time each year. I was taking "Doc" to the Dumas homestead up in the Bear Paws which borders the Beaver Creek and the Rocky Boy's Indian/Chippewa Cree reservation. Various crews were working cattle and getting them out of the back...
OK, here is the deal. This Sunday provides us with options for our Sunday readings. Normally this is the Seventh Sunday in Easter and we would be using Acts 7:55-60, Revelations 22:12-14, 16-17, 20, and John 17:20-26 for our reading at Mass this weekend. Because Easter Sunday (being a moveable celebration) came as it did this year we will be using the readings for the Ascension of the Lord this Sunday for our readings at Mass: Acts 1:1-11, Hebrews 9:24-28; 10:19-23, and Luke...
You know, Lord, the melody of that old hymn, "For The Beauty Of The Earth," brought to mind "Care of the Earth" and "Stewardship" and Psalms 24:1: "The earth is the Lord's and everything in it." If we go to checking out the hymn itself, which was written by Folliott S, Pierpoint (1835-1917), one finds that there are two additional verses seldom printed in any hymnals - probably no wonder, as which song leader ever leads to sing all four - or for that matter, all seven verses...

by Emily Mayer Recently, I had the privilege of addressing Mrs. Lindsey Ratliff’s local history students. What a great bunch of future leaders! I was present to let the class know of job opportunities at the Clack Museum and Buffalo Jump, but that quickly turned into a great question and answer session about our rich local history. One student asked how I became a historian, and the best answer I could give her — or anyone else — is that it’s a calling. Much like those in the medical field or clergy will tell you, one gets an...
“4 New Body Parts Discovered in the Last 10 Years,” it’s the kind of headline you’d expect to read connected to an ongoing serial killer case or maybe it’s an episode name on “Criminal Minds” — but, no, that right there is science. What that SciShow YouTube video headline means is that doctors, scientists, researchers, they’re all still discovering new parts in the human body, our human bodies. Like humans don’t have an identity crisis already. A couple weeks ago I learned...
It is several weeks since the Department of Homeland Security’s admonishment, “If You See Something, Say Something” reached me on Facebook. I don’t remember the accompanying video, I probably didn’t watch it. I do remember the numerous outraged comments about government asking us to spy on each other. The outrage cheered me up: maybe the neighbors aren’t totally paranoid. Then came Homeland Security’s Disinformation Board scheme. The Disinformation Board idea sparked the s...
For the last 100 years the Montana Taxpayers Association has served as Montana’s most trusted resource for nonpartisan tax and government spending information. One of the promises of our mission is to encourage equitable solutions, in issues of taxation, that benefit all Montana taxpayers. As the executive director of MONTAX, I feel it is important to state that our organization believes that CI-121 — a constitutional initiative masquerading as a “cap on property taxes” — does NOT fit that mission. In fact, CI-121 would cre...

This weekend at the Class B-C State Track and Field Meet in Great Falls, several District 9C schools will represent the Hi-Line. Many schools and their athletes will look to end their seasons with a state title. After winning the state title last...
