Editor's note: This version corrects misreporting that the Hill County sheriff position is up for election. That office is not up for election this year. An election year that was hotly contested before candidate filing even began is starting to see more people file to run for office on the state and federal level, although many declared candidates still have not filed and filings on the county level still are slim locally. No one had filed as a candidate for Montana governor...

Some would call it reliability. For instance, it’s nice to know that the newspaper will be delivered to your house the same time every day or...

Members of the board of directors have decli...
I want to start out by making it clear that I have nothing against cowboys. One of the new developments in my life is that I recently got a manager, Bob, to book performances of my writing.

He says he thinks of the folks he represents as family — which is something a lot of people say, but I get the feeling Bob actually means it. So, I was eager to keep Bob happy. But then he su...
