I cheated death one day this week. Not in a dramatic or heroic fashion, naturally, but in that way in which you do something sketchy that the Universe normally tries to capitalize on. You walk out of the house wearing a pair of underwear of the likes your mother warned you about and you’re just asking to get into a car wreck. Or maybe that’s just me. Not that the unders in question were dirty, or ratty, or otherwise unsavory or even illicit, it’s just that, OK, they were...
At their weekly meeting Thursday the Hill County Commission announced the resignation of Hill County Park Board Member Nick Siebrasse’s whose letter to them indicated that he no longer felt comfortable being on the board as he felt he had conflicts of interest with regards to grazing on the park. The board, and its grazing committee, have been the subject of considerable controversy over their handling of a recent request made by members of the Kallenberger family who say the committee and board were not following proper p...

Chances are fair, some day soon you may be asked to sign an Open primaries, Final Four, Ranked Choice ballot initiative. When my curiosity about electoral reform sent me to the Ranked Choice Voting Montana website a few days ago, I knew about the recent call for a top two open primary from former Governor Marc Racicot and former Secretary of State Bob Brown, but I didn't realize the full package of Montana electoral reform might be in play in the near future. Even the Ranked Choice Voting Montana homepage-entirely devoted to...

A few weeks ago, I took several days of vacation so that I could drive down to Billings and attend the Divisional A Basketball Tournament. This event is a highlight of my year. I am an absolute Blue Ponies basketball fan! At that four-day event both the Blue Ponies boys and girls teams qualified to compete in the State A Basketball Tournament. I had been wrestling with the idea of whether or not to attend that event. When both teams qualified for state, my decision was just ab...
Out our way, sometimes you have to keep going even when you’re dog tired, worn out, and frustrated. It was late fall and time to move the herd down to winter pasture. It had been a wet summer for the Hi-Line and so the spring pasture still had some good grazing left, and the reservoir — though pretty far down, still had a good bit of water. Cattle, as it happens, don’t have calendars and though it was fall, the weather remained mild. They didn’t realize winter was only a few weeks off and thought it was still summer. So — as...
You know, Lord, today or maybe even this week, we might just feel like completing some winter projects or we might just pack them away for another day. The urge to clean and plant surges deep within us. No false sense of security here, we know the fickle weather of March as the new season struggles with spring birth pains. But how about taking a moment to check out a few words for a day brightener - especially as we think about Saint Patrick's Day and green things, right?...

Thank you all. Sunday the...
