Editor, As we are falling into the full swing of autumn, hunters around the state are gearing up for the opening of deer and elk season. Before the season opens on Oct. 22, it’s a great time to celebrate the protections that Montana’s constitution provides for hunters. Article 10, Section Seven of the Constitution protects Montanan Harvest Heritage. This section holds that hunting, fishing and harvesting wildlife is a way of life in Montana. Harvesting wildlife is something that’s always been done here, and the const...
Editor, For the last 50 years, Montana’s constitution has protected some of the most basic and widely undisputed rights of Montanans. Here we have the right to live our lives without the government dictating how we should go about doing so and to thrive on our land. Few states feel the need to protect the privacy of their citizens, but Montana is an exception. Through the decades, Montanans have benefited countless times from Article II, Section X of our constitution, with protections for online data, health care d...

Saturday Oct. 8, my family took in the Northern football game. It was a special day as we have a grandson playing on the team and two of our daughters were there to cheer on the team, as well. Our ties...
I love Little Free Libraries. If you don’t have these in your neighborhood, they are little boxes that look like tiny houses — not much larger than a big birdhouse — with a glass door on the front and books inside. People leave books they have read and pick up books they want to read and, somehow, the whole thing seems to work out pretty well most of the time. During the pandemic, I noticed that some little libraries went empty. The regular libraries were closed, and peopl...
