I love the Ig Nobel Prizes, which are a satiric spoof of the renowned Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences Nobel Prizes — but I watched the 30th First Annual Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony this week, and that’s one hour and 16 minutes of my life that I will never get back. This is the first time I have actually watched the awards ceremony, which was conducted entirely virtually rather than at the Sanders Theatre at Harvard University. Actual Nobel prize winners hand out the awards, whi...
I am supporting Mike Cooney for Governor. It was not a difficult decision to make. I’ve known Mike for decades. We worked together when I served as Republican president of the Montana Senate and as Montana’s secretary of state. Over many years I have seen firsthand Mike’s ability to bring people together for positive purposes. For our entire careers, Mike and I played on different teams, and we didn’t see eye-to-eye on many issues, but we always retained a good working relationship. In theses turbulent times that is certain...

In a football season that has been anything but normal, in the Northern C of 8-Man, it's still been eerily like business as usual in one way. The league is still really, really good. There are just two weeks left before the MHSA playoffs begin, which means this weekend in the Northern C is a big one because of seeding games for the upcoming playoffs. Fort Benton, ranked No. 1 in the state, has already taken the top spot in the Northern C, but tonight, the Longhorns will play...

Out our way, the trail to better pasture often seems to take forever, and few there are willingly take it. The cattle get used to the pasture they are in and though the grass is rapidly dwindling and the reservoir is going dry, they are reluctant to leave it. Yet leave it they must if they are to survive and prosper. And sometimes the trail is hard and foreboding. I recall moving a herd in the fall and while Charlie pushed the main herd ahead, he left the “good old boys club” — the bulls — to me. These big fellows were re...
Last week in his letter to the community, Dr. Kevin Harada, chief medical officer at Northern Montana Hospital, said this: “in this pandemic, the degree of respect we have for each other will be defined by our actions and how we choose to support and protect our neighbors.” Amen! Humanity to survive must overcome the addictive power of divisiveness, where I am right and I am going to prove how wrong you are. The reality is that we will not always get our way so we must learn to let go of our biases and be open to the exp...
Many of the ideas and scriptures for this article are from the devotional “God Wants You To Win!” by world champion calf roper Jeff Copenhaver. Psalm 34:8 Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him. The faithfulness of God continues to amaze me. When we look back on our lives and see the times that God has protected us, led us, fed us and loved us, it is amazing that He would care so much for each of us. At one point in his life Jeff had made rodeo his whole life and his god. Perhaps there...
You know, Lord, fall is certainly in the air - just enough to make our blood strum; so, we know that it is time to tidy up for the coming winter. Town or country, cabin or mansion, postage-stamp garden or farm. Reading from Eccl 3:1-11a, we discover that: 1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: 2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a...
