I'll just get this out of the way right now. The Montana Grizzlies aren't going to beat the South Dakota State Jackrabbits this Saturday in Brookings, South Dakota. Period. And thus, a weird, wacky and truly disappointing Grizzly football season will come to an end as a result of a beatdown at the hands of the defending FCS champions - in what was a rematch from the 2024 title game. In the immortal words of Forrest Gump: "That's all I have to say about that." However, rest...

Tom Lutey Montana Free Press That mythical December character bearing gifts, could it be the Congressional Lame Duck? Irrigators along Montana’s Milk River hope it’s so. With weeks left in the congressional term, farmers along the Milk River are hopeful federal lawmakers will deliver at least some of the more than $300 million promised earlier in the year for the Milk River Irrigation Project, which delivers water to 18,000 people spread across 350-miles of the Montana Hi-line. The project’s plumbing rerouting water from...

Press release MISSOULA —As families gather to celebrate the holiday season, not everyone has enough food to put on the table. With food insecurity a persistent challenge across Montana, hunger-relief advocates are eagerly anticipating a critical new resource coming next year. In April 2024, Montana Food Bank Network (MFBN) launched its $15 million Campaign for Bigger Impact to advance its mission of ending hunger in Montana. The focal point of the campaign is a transformational new facility and distribution center at 5780 A...
Montana Actor’s Theatre is bringing to the stage a production that has been a Christmas staple since the film version was released in 1965, “The Sound of Music.” The play is based on the true story of the Austrian family the von Trapps: how a young governess, Maria, handles watching over the seven children of the widower Capt. Georg von Trapp, how Maria and he fall in love and are married, and their escape in 1938 from the Nazis during the Anschluss, the German annexation of Austria. The musical, with music and lyrics by le...
How quickly the articles disappeared about inflation and the cost of food. It’s close to a “Three Stooges” episode watching the elbowing and hair-pulling for the “scoop” on who the next Washington, DC Cabinet nominee will be in the next Administration. There’s some good news. Montana ranks 30th out of the 50 states in the cost of Thanksgiving Dinner for 10 guests this year according to the American Farm Bureau. $61.50 is the total estimated cost in Montana for a Thanksgiving dinner for 10 or approximately $6.15 per guest....
In the third week in my new casa just up the road a ways from my old casa, I am making home. In ways this is like baking a cake. It is not a one-step process. It is not a box mix. The moving van (non-existent) does not pull up, put boxes in marked rooms, and roll on down the highway while I make the bed and go to sleep. Oh, if only it were so simple. Bit by bit though, this cake batter of a home is coming together. While there is still a lot to do, let’s call this a complicate...
In this month's installment of Pony Posts, I would like to touch base on a few areas that Havre Public Schools is excelling in. First, a report came out at the end of November from the Office of Public Instruction that talks about declining enrollment across our state. The state is using a six-year trend to examine enrollment throughout the state. In the past six years student enrollment across the state has dropped from 148,198 students to 145, 650 students. These figures...
It is an unusual living situation, in many ways. My husband, Peter, and I spend almost half the year down in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. We had a terrible experience in another town (an absentee American owner with a filthy rental) and we came running back to San Miguel, desperate to find a place to stay — any place that was clean and halfway affordable. And that is how Jorge found us. “I have an apartment on Loreto that is available for the month,” he wrote, in respo...
The first step to fixing a problem is to recognize it exists. That’s a life lesson most of us have learned that also applies to the political world. Regretfully, Montana faces a steadfast denial by the 2023 GOP legislative super majority and the governor that they created a gigantic homeowners’ property tax disaster. So many Montanans remember late 2023 when they got their shocking tax notices. It was headline news all over the state. A politically slanted interim committee, created by the 2023 legislature, is about to pas...
John 8:7 'Let him who is without sin cast the first stone' Out our way the test that matters for a cowhand is not what he says he can do, but what he does. There is a reason I am the designated "dust eater" at the round ups and when we move the herds to summer or winter pasture. I can talk the talk but not really walk the walk. ("or ride with pride") Granted, Doc's outstanding klutziness and jackhammer gait, are factors - but even on smooth riding Babe, you could tell my...
This past Sunday, did you light a candle on an Advent wreath? If you did, what was it called? Some churches might have called it Love, or Peace. At First Lutheran, we lit the candle of Hope. No matter the order, all Advent wreaths I've ever met have had a candle of Hope. Hope. NOT optimism. In day-to-day conversation, we might use hope and optimism as synonyms, like one farmer saying, "I'm hopeful we'll get a lot of moisture soon," and his buddy replying, "Yeah, I'm...
You know, Lord, a friend shared that she had read about slowing down time - and that so much has changed since the electric clock was invented in the 1840s! That was most interesting to watch or think about how we today keep time, no matter where we go or what we do, it seems like most folks, especial the younger ones, all know about smart watches, smart phones, and laptops. Chuckle chuckle! Seems like the entire pace of life seems faster now - even our leisurely walking has...
Partings do come, as loved ones leave, many hearts are broken. When loved ones go, its lonely here - many words unspoken. We want to remember dear ones - the bond that we did share, But the pain in our hearts and minds, it is so hard to bear. May the winds of love blow softly and whisper so you'll hear. We will always love and miss you, and wish that you were here. The memory gates will never close, the days that used to be How rich in kindness, love and care, how dear you...
