The Hill County Commission granted a pair of funding requests to the Hill County Sheriff’s Office, both of which initially drew questions from some county officials. The first of these requests was for $13,850 for the department to buy 10 new computers, which Hill County Sheriff Jamie Ross, who was at Thursday’s meeting, said that is fewer than half of their inventory. Hill County Commissioner Diane McLean said based on what the commission has been shown these 10 computers would replace ones that are no longer fit for pur...

The solstice arrived with very negative temps giving off a vibe that said “first day of winter” — in a doom-filled sort of “Game of Thrones” way — more than “brighter days are coming, Polyanna,” and, with a current temp of minus 39 just days before Christmas, I keep thinking of some good friends of mine who, on Christmas Day, feed treats to all their animals. Big deal, right? This happens in households all over Santa Country, mine included. It’s one thing, though, to give a...
Last year, I realized I had come to dread Christmas obligations. I like to give to others. But when it becomes an obligation, trying to find that just right small gift for the families on the Rancho, seemed overwhelming. Years ago, my own children and I agreed to not give adult gifts, but to focus on their children. Last year I told my neighbors here at the Rancho, that instead of joining the usual gift exchange, I would give a gift to a family in the community who had...
In the early 1970s, frustrated with the corporate boot that dominated and bullied Montanans, the state’s people rose up. Led by ordinary citizens like Pastor George Harper of Helena, local historian and mother of six Louise Cross of Glendive, and League of Women Voters leader Dorothy Eck of Bozeman, they crafted what is now recognized as a world-renowned Constitution. Among many important motivations was their conviction that in order to free Montanans from corporate dominance at the expense of workers, farmers and o...
In all my 26 years as a legislator, I have never seen a legislative rules proposal as potentially devastating to Montana citizen-ratepayers as Republican state Senator Steve Fitzpatrick’s recent joint rule proposal. This rule would hamstring the Constitutional Office of the Consumer Counsel, which has worked for nearly 50 years to protect Montana consumers, especially in energy rate cases. If adopted as a joint rule, the Counsel would be forbidden from testimony for or against a bill unless allowed by an affirmative vote o...
'Glory to God in the highest. And on earth, peace and goodwill to all.' Out our way on the open prairie, away from the lights of town, you can often see the stars clearly on a moonless night. It is something many folks, especially in urban areas, have never really witnessed. For those of us who have been blessed to be out in "the Big Open" on a moonless night, it is an amazing sight. I have fond memories of camping and riding in isolated areas where such views were possible. A...
Merry Christmas (Please read John 1:1-18) Jesus the Word is the creator of everything; this is his world. This passage not only underscores Jesus' full ownership of all creation as his rightful possession but also serves as a foundation of his love and providential care for all he has made. Jesus, the creator of the world, was unwilling to leave his "very good" creation to the destructive powers of sin, but rather, he came to redeem his handiwork. The incarnation has profound...

Thank You, Lord, for the Christmas story in Luke, chapter two, where the angel said to the shepherds, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people."...

"We haven't been putting teams away like we should have." As a senior on the team, Walker has been a part of the Bears...

What a year it’s been. And, with the weather we’re experiencing right now, it’s going out with a bang — and not in a good way. However, as frightful as it may be out there, it’s still Christmas time, and I want to take a moment to not only wish all of you that read our paper a Merry Christmas, but, say thank you to the entire community. And by community, I mean anywhere and everywhere our paper reaches. And since this column is on the sports page, it of course, is about sports...
