After decades on the job, Palace Bar Owner Jupe Compton is selling the business and retiring soon. Compton says leaving is bittersweet and he's enjoyed his time at the Palace immensely, but he's had a good run and it's time for the next generation to take over. "It's been quite a ride," he said.

Senators and representative, As we approach Christmas, we have one request to Montana’s federal delegation: please do everything in your power to stop the reckless taxing and spending proposal currently working its way through Congress. The biggest gift Montana could receive from Washington, D.C., this holiday season is a dose of common sense, not more federal taxes and debt. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has said it’s his goal to pass President Biden’s $2 trillion tax and spend bill before Christmas. Meanwhile, inflat...
As tragedy, after strife, after contention, after attack rolls through the news cycle, the one news byte that really hit home is this: North Americans are facing a maple syrup shortage of such dire proportions that Canada has had to tap its national emergency strategic stockpile of maple syrup to get us through these desperate times. I am not joking about this. I have been craving pancakes with maple syrup for more than two weeks now, and the thought of not having maple syrup...

It had been nearly a month since the last time the Montana State University-Northern wrestling team had competed at home at Armory Gymnasium.

As noted, the Lights put up a great fight. They trailed by as many as 10 points in the...
Out our way, winter can be a harsh time and both Doc and I tend to spend most of it indoors. We do not ride the trails and seldom chase the cattle. Instead he settles into hay and oats and I just settle. Then comes the spring and I head to the stable, do a few laps in the round pen on the lunge line, and then I get out the old saddle. I curry Doc and he seems to enjoy it, smooth out his blanket and then lift the saddle up and onto his back. I reach under for the cinch to pull...
In the last couple of years, many have felt as if they were suffocating and drowning under the weight of uncertainty and life's trials. God encourages us to look beyond our personal needs and focus on ministering to God and ministering to the needs of those around us. God's grace is understanding that by His divine power He has given us everything we need for a godly life (2 Peter 1:3). Grace has been working in your life through the good times and the difficult times. Grace...
You know, Lord, it's been a long time ago, but way back when, we viewed a beautiful painting done by William Hollman Hunt titled "The Light of the World." It pictures Jesus standing outside a cottage door, which is overgrown with dead weeds. The door has no latch. In one hand Jesus holds a lantern, bright with light. The other hand is knocking on the door. The painting clearly shows that we must answer the knock and open the door before we can know the abundance of God's love....
