After their regular business meeting Thursday, members of the Hill County Commission said they wanted to give the community an update on their property taxes, which may require a second bill to go out to make up for a recent loss in court to the state. Last month, the Montana Supreme Court ruled that Montana counties had to follow the order of the Montana Department of Revenue to collect 95 mills worth of property taxes for education equity after many, including Hill County,...

Interesting how we carve time to suit particular purposes. I won’t look it up, but thinking about it, I’d not be surprised that our universal way of dividing our days started with the Industrial Revolution, as a way of getting the workers to be where and when the bosses wanted them to be. That is as political as I am willing to be this morning. My day began yesterday, actually. It rained yesterday, so that jiggered up walk times with Lola, but we managed to wriggle them int...
As we close out National Native American Heritage Month, I would like to introduce myself and my new role as the Montana Department of Labor and Industry’s (DLI) first tribal liaison. My name is Donnie Wetzel Jr. I come from the Blackfeet Nation on my father’s side and Missoula/Bitterroot as a seventh-generation Montanan on my mother’s side, and it is an honor to serve Montana in this role. Over the last month, I’ve received an abundance of information about this work and the limitless possibilities it can bring to our you...
The Montana Supreme Court’s recent order upholding the Montana Department of Revenue’s calculation of the 95 school equalization mills provided a protective shield for residential property taxpayers and students educated in Montana’s public schools. The court’s decision respected and preserved bipartisan decisions made by the 2023 Legislature estimating revenues and appropriating funds to fund Montana’s public schools. Some county officials erroneously asserted that levying 77.89 instead of 95 school equalization mills wou...

Romans 12: 1- 8 Out our way, the spring and fall roundups are a big deal. Of course it's nothing like the old days, when trail drives went clear cross country and lasted for weeks. For us it is within the confines of a large fenced area and likely takes less than a day. Even so, the process of moving the cattle remains the same and even when four-wheelers often replace cow ponies in the process, the herders pretty much have the same job as their predecessor The top hand(s)...
(Revelation 13:11-14:10) Are we living in the end times? People have been asking me that recently. Some ask me about the mark of the beast. Many people have speculated on the meaning of the mark of the beast in Revelation 13, but however it might be fulfilled, it could "symbolize all our allegiances to the gods of this world or all the emperors who try to usurp God's place." These chapters in The Revelation stir us Christians - who can face life realistically because we know t...
You know, Lord, it was most interesting to recently read a devotional about never being forgotten. The gal wrote how her kids wanted her to start playing the piano again; she mentioned that she had not played the piano for two decades. She was surprised, when she sat at the piano, that she even remembered, then feeling brave, she played seven different scales that she'd learned by heart, years ago. She mentioned that those years of practicing so long ago, had imprinted the...

The Montana Grizzlies are in the midst of an FCS revival. And the Montana State Bobcats just finished a season that may have ended in heartbreak, but was still another ultra-successful one regardless. And while we’ve always liked to think the Griz and Cats are big-time college football programs without all the baggage that comes with being bigtime, we’ve all been very naive about that. In hindsight, both programs have had plenty of problems over the years, and right now, the...
