It's been an emotionally complicated week for many in the region in the wake of the tragic Amtrak derailment near Joplin last Saturday, with the community feeling a mix of shock at what happened, sadness for those three who lost their lives and pride in their community's response. Indeed, people from across the region pitched in, helping those caught in the crash, the first responders who tended to them, and the workers who repaired the tracks in the aftermath, in a...

Magnets are all fun and sciency until the earth gets knocked off its access. I don’t have to tell you that magnetic north is different from geographic or true north. We all know Santa’s North Pole stays put right where the giant candy cane was anchored into the permafrost back when he and his merry band of elves started that gift-giving franchise. But magnetic north — to where the arrowy thing in your compass is wont to point — just takes up residence wherever it feels like. We’ve been able to google that informati...
Watching Arizona’s freshman Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema trying to figure out how to vote on President Biden’s budget plan reconciliation bill reminds me of a Montana situation almost 44 years ago with freshman Sen. Paul Hatfield. In both cases, there was an important upcoming vote in which every vote counted. Both Hatfield and Sinema had let themselves become essentially the final necessary vote, breaking a political rule to never let yourself be the final vote because of the disproportionate blame that could be laid at...
In the 1920s, Adolph Hitler published his book titled “Main Kampf.” He advocated for big lies as he advised leaders who needed to lie to the public to tell only big lies. He assured his readers that people would easily see through small lies and reject them. He also convincingly wrote that the public would be in awe of big lies, accept them and act accordingly. For example, utilizing his philosophy, Hitler convinced many Germans that they were a super race destined to conquer and rule other nations. The big lie phi...

Even though they are 0-4 to start the season, the Montana State University-Northern football team has made strides the past few weeks. Last week, they nearly won their first Frontier Conference game in several years but the Lights gave up a go-ahead touchdown to Rocky Mountain College in the final minutes. As the Lights host Montana Tech University this Saturday at Tilleman Field, MSU-N head coach Andrew Rolin knows his team will need to play their best to push through for a w...

"We expect it to be another tough match after our experience seeing them here," HHS head coach Stephanie Huse said. "They look a lot like what our team looks...
The Montana Grizzlies had a pretty cool run of big, FCS playoff games under the lights, and on the ESPN networks. No one, especially around the Hi-Line, will ever forget the infamous 2009 night game against Appalachian State. Yes, there's no doubt, ESPN and nigh games, even if Montana head coach Bobby Hauck hates them, have been really good to the Grizzlies. There is one exception to that though - and that's the lights of Roos Field in Cheney, Washington. Those lights,...

Out our way, technology may come slow, but it does come. You learn to be patient and to never assume what now is be all that there ever will be. Years ago, I served on a national church committee that took me all over the USA. I was in Atlanta and had gone into a Krispy Kreme, a national chain I had heard about but had never seen. As I was standing there a beautiful blonde came up beside me and started commenting on the display. I was both startled and flattered by her...

You know, Lord, big, little, old or young, sometimes we get frightened right out of our socks and we want our mama. We always felt safe when we could snuggle in mama's arms. Watching tiny "Tatiana" struggling to walk, a counter blocking her view; we smiled as she turned and ran as best as she could, back into the safety of her mama's arms. Another little girl was "lost" - her mama was at work, but she knew that Nana lived up the hill from her, so, slipping out of her house,...
Over the past few years, the Montana State University-Northern football program has dealt with much adversity. While the Lights have competed hard, they have not moved up the Frontier Conference standings. But through thick and thin, senior defensive end Joe Fehr has been a mainstay in the program. Even though he did not get to win as much as he would have liked, he is proud of himself for sticking through the adversity. "I stuck it out for five years. Not a lot of guys can...
