Next month, the Highland Cemetery will start the process of expanding to allow for more than 9,000 new graves, an expansion that will be primarily funded through a 15 percent rise in cemetery fees at the end of June of this year. Hill County Cemetery District Assistant Manager Perry Atchison said they are set to run out of room soon, with fewer than 1,000 graves sites still open, so they need to make more space. Atchison said the district already owns land west of the current...
Local legislators and officials seem to be welcoming the recent decision by a Lewis and Clark County district court judge to deny a request from Gov. Greg Gianforte to stay enforcement of a prior order directing him to allow lawmakers the chance to override his veto of a 2023 marijuana tax revenue bill. In a meeting of the Hill County Commission Thursday, Hill County Commissioner Jake Strissel, who’s been one of the bill’s biggest local advocates, said he’s been trying to make sure as many local legislators as possible are r...
ZEKE MILLER and SEUNG MIN KIM The Associated Press WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden delivered a defiant argument for a second term in his State of the Union speech Thursday night, lacing into GOP front-runner Donald Trump for espousing “resentment, revenge and retribution” and for jeopardizing freedom at home and abroad. Reveling in the political moment, Biden fired multiple broadsides at “my predecessor” without ever mentioning Trump by name — 13 times in all — raising his voice repeatedly as he worked to quell voter c...

To the editor: Help can’t wait when emergencies strike — not for the family displaced by a disaster, the patient in need of lifesaving blood or the deployed service member alerted to a family crisis at home. Every day, when our neighbors face emergencies like these, they rely on local volunteers, blood donors, financial supporters and community partners who deliver care and hope through Montana Red Cross. Last year alone, we helped more than 560 Montanans impacted by disaster by delivering food, shelter and clothing, and most...
“Have an exciting evening,” my daughter wished at me after a phone call over the weekend. “No! No! No!’ I cried vehemently. “Not an exciting evening, Never! Wish me a calm and peaceful and uneventful evening, please.” One never knows what energies one might release with a casual word or two. I’ve had enough excitement in other periods of my life. Today I sit in front of my blank page with absolutely nothing to say. Life is good. Quiet. No waves. No storm clouds. No drama. I g...
Hilary Clinton warned us in advance against Tucker Carlson’s Vladimir Putin interview. Deploying one of her favorite disparaging epithets, “useful idiot,” against the journalist, Clinton told us he was going to be manipulated by the wily autocrat. Sure enough, as soon as the interview actually posted, every media personality worth a Fox or MSNBC moment chimed in to let us know Carlson had merely channeled the Russian president’s Russian talking points. Next came days of satiri...

It’s the off-the-cuff speeches that take the most preparation. I’ve never been a great public speaker. Come to think of it, I haven’t even been a public speaker. The last time I addressed someone in public was when I asked what aisle had mayonnaise. But I am undeterred. Perhaps I mean undaunted. Or unhinged. Whatever. You get it. I want to be a good speaker. I have a lot of examples to look up to. Take Daniel Webster. I remember from school that, if nothing else, he was a great orator. He spoke against nullification and d...

Matthew 7:15 - "(Jesus said) beware of false prophets who will come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves." Out our way, the various rodeo events are always well received - and especially during the state fair. A friend of mine owns a ranch store downtown and rodeo season is always a profitable one for him. But it is also a time of some laughter. Along with the rodeo folks and the real-deal cowhands, ranchers and farmers who attend, we also get some...
"But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" - [Jesus of Nazareth] then said to the paralytic - "Stand up, take your bed, and go to your home. And he stood up and went to his home. When the crowds saw it, they were filled with awe, and they glorified God, who had given such authority to human beings." Authority, according to Britannica, is the power or right to direct or control someone or something. Have you ever held a position of...
You know, Lord, Sally Ann stopped by, mentioned that spring is just around the corner, but she was pretty sure that we still might get some snow showers. She loves snow scenes, all sorts of snow words, also watching neighbor guys and their kids, make snow angels and a snowman. She'd noticed a bunny, she called him a snow bunny, and watched how he hopped here and there, she didn't know where he hid out but the bunny didn't appear to be very cold! She remembered as a child, one...
