    Patrick Johnston|Updated Sep 14, 2023

    Editor’s note: This version corrects the quote of Hill County Park Board member Pam Wilson on Beaver Creek Park usage fees.

When I called, the Montana Revenue said it was the school district’s tax levy for the next three years. This year, that school tax levy was done, but the district wanted to retain that levy, this t...

  • The Postscript: Up north with Mom and Dad

    Carrie Classon|Updated Sep 12, 2023

    I’m staying “up north” with Mom and Dad, and that is always good. My mom and dad have built a life that is pretty much exactly the way they like it. They have rituals and habits they do almost without thinking. But the amazing thing — to me — is that just about every one of these daily routines ends up giving them a healthier and much happier life. At this point, my dad would snort, and my mom would say I was making them sound like saints, and they’d both shake their heads...
