    George Ferguson|Updated Sep 9, 2017

  • Letter to the Editor - Which is cheaper, disasters or fighting global warming

    Updated Sep 8, 2017

    Editor, For decades now, the world’s climate scientists have been insisting that global warming would increasingly cause extreme weather events — things like floods, flash droughts, fires and heat waves. Who could have imagined they would be right? Now that Hurricane Harvey has set a new record for rainfall in the United States, dropping more than 50 inches on Houston, and Montana is enduring an epic drought, with fires turning the air across the whole state into a health hazard, there is no longer any doubt. This summer is...

  • Letter to the Editor - Montanans helping Montanans with Red Cross

    Updated Sep 8, 2017

    Editor, When times are tough, Montanans rise to the challenge. That’s what we do. And that’s been the case during a difficult wildfire season that has touched all corners of our state. Neighbors have helped neighbors, donating hay, offering up a safe place to stay and a warm meal. They’ve also opened their pocketbooks, donating thousands to Montana Red Cross. This allowed us to provide food, shelter and comfort to those who have been forced to evacuate their homes, sometimes with little warning. We have opened 16 shelt...

  • View from the North 40: Just leave the prima donnas at home

    Pam Burke|Updated Sep 8, 2017

    All I’m saying is that it’s a good thing it’s not against the law — legally, biblically or otherwise — to covet thy neighbor’s horse, or I would’ve been busted last week — thrown in the hoosegow, tossed out the pearly gates or otherwise had my birthday taken away. I’d forgotten what it’s like to have broke horses around and, honestly, I’ve never had a really seasoned horse, so towing a couple of no-nonsense campaigners under less than ideal conditions was better than a box of...
