Montana District Judge Jeffrey Sherlock in Helena reversed the decision that awarded the family of an 18-year-old Native American who died in the Hill County Detention Center six years ago $1.35 million. The judge said the hearings that led to the overturned decision were riddled with “serious procedural irregularities.” In his order document from Dec. 8, Sherlock explains the background of the case and details of the procedural errors that paved the way for his final decision. A.J. Longsoldier led Hays-Lodge Pole High Sch...

One of the most exciting aspects of playing in the North American Tier 3 Hockey League is that it allows players to show what they can do. And there is no better way for the Glacier Nationals and other players in the league to do that than the NA3HL Showcase this week in Minnesota. The Nationals, who play in the Frontier division, will be in Blaine, Minnesota with the other 31 teams in the league and over the next few days, they will take on Sugar Land, Texas, Cincinnati and...
California just made history by passing legislation to increase the amount of renewable resources powering that state to 50 percent by 2030. So why is NorthWestern Energy’s CEO Bob Rowe lamenting that America’s (EPA) Clean Power Plan is a “steep cliff?” It requires Montana to reduce CO2 levels from fossil fuel power generation 47 percent by 2030. NorthWestern already produces “nearly 60 percent” of its power from “carbon free” wind and hydroelectric generators. Therefore, it shouldn’t be difficult to reduce the remaining 40...
My daughter made arrangements to fly me to Montana so I could attend a family funeral last week. The previous week Dee Dee had undergone total knee replacement (it seems to run in the family).

Under the best of circumstances modern air travel is no fun. A straitjacket might be more comfortable than the crowded airplane seats which effectively immobilize one, but I’ve yet to try one. N...
