To the Editor, I write this letter in a small coffee shop just after touring an 800-year-old cathedral in Salamanca, Spain. As a study-abroad student almost 5,000 miles away from my home university of Montana State University, I reflect on my experience in higher education and the frightening reality that many students could face this fall. Right now, higher education in Montana is at risk of seeing major funding cuts if the 6-Mill Levy ballot initiative doesn’t pass in November. This levy has been providing funding for h...
To the Editor, Be it Flathead County or Gallatin Country, I have lived in this beautiful state for my entire life. Montana is my home. As a third-year student at Montana State University pursuing a degree in economics with an emphasis in community health, I reflect back to five years ago when I was 16 years old and my father unexpectedly lost his business. This was my family’s main source of livelihood and in the midst of financial strife, my parents broke the news that if I wanted to attend college, I would need to find a w...
Editor, Hello. I am currently a full-time student at Montana State University, where my father, aunt and two cousins attended university as well. Studying here has given me a sense of purpose and I have found a new home here in Bozeman; I owe my (sometimes stressful) life as a young adult seeking independence to this university. For context, as an out-of-state student, this opportunity to seek success in my fields of interest is a special one. That is not to say that the schools in Colorado are not wonderful in themselves...

Right now, somewhere in Montana, there are two families who may never meet — and yet will profoundly influence each other. Like many people these days, one needs a little extra help to get on their feet and may struggle to get by. The other has been fortunate enough to be able to provide for themselves and their future, and now they are eager to give back. As the president and CEO of Montana Community Foundation, I have the humbling job of interacting with both of these types of families firsthand. It reminds me that even t...

The battle between Chinook and Chester-Joplin-Inverness last Saturday wasn't quite as big as the so-called Hi-Line Bowl of 2015, however, it was another great chapter in the rivalry between the two schools. Back in 2015, the Beeters hosted the Hawks when both teams were undefeated and duked it out for the Northern C Championship. Chinook won that game and went on to win the state championship. This time, the two teams were meeting for the final Northern C playoff berth and,...

There was a time, and not so long ago, that literally no one, and I mean no one, could find a way to win inside Nelson Stadium at Carroll College. Yes, the Fighting Saints were that dominant, and especially at home. But as the old saying goes, nothing lasts forever and the Saints are once again struggling, and those struggles include playing at home. Just last week, the Saints were blown out by Rocky Mountain College in Helena, to fall to 2-5 on the season. And this fall,...
