MATT VOLZ Associated Press HELENA — The upcoming session of the Montana Legislature will focus on tightening the state budget, and there will not be much money available for new initiatives, the incoming leaders of Republican legislative majority said Monday. Republicans elected Sen. Scott Sales of Bozeman to be Senate president for the session that begins in January. Sales, a former speaker of the House, said he does not expect to take up controversial bills like those that marked the 2015 session, such as legislation to e...

Who was the biggest loser in this election? The media. Even though millions of Americans believe it was actually American citizens who lost the most in this election, it’s really the national media that lost credibility. Reporters whose names were revealed by Wikileaks might as well change their occupations to “pundit,” “columnist” or “propagandist” because they will never again be known as unbiased reporters. Wikileaks proved through leaked emails what conservatives have known and liberals have denied for decades: our...
They still don’t get what the Trump win was all about. All those people protesting and calling their fellow citizens racists, sexists and xenophobes don’t have a clue why Hillary really lost. “It’s a bit silly to protest nearly 60 million Americans who exercised their constitutional right by voting for a candidate the protesters opposed. The fact is, there are dozens of sound reasons why millions voted for Trump.” “You raise a fair point. It’s very difficult for either party to hold the White House for more than two term...
It’s all over. So why are people still arguing about something Donald Trump said three weeks ago? Why are protestors milling around the streets of our cities holding up misspelled signs and promising revolution? The argument ended early Wednesday morning when the votes were counted. Trump won. It was shocking, amazing, impressive, historic — all that and more. The billionaire with no ideology except egoism, the ex-Democrat no one thought had a chance, turned everything upside down and made fools, losers or incompetents out...
Editor, I just wanted to let the public know how the police department handles abandoned animals. Our neighbor moved out of town this summer and her cat was left behind. The cat has been trying to find food and shelter for the entire summer and now we are coming into winter. I have two cats and have cat doors into our garage and then into the house. This animal has been coming into my house and bothering my cats, eating their food and making itself at home. I was able to obtain a live trap and trap the cat. When I called the...

KALISPELL (AP) — Mission Mountain Railroad and the BNSF Railway are going to work together to move gondolas full of a mineral used by mines to Fortine, Montana. The companies are looking for new customers from other countries as well as people living miles away from the tracks. Most of Mission Mountain’s freight business comes from a lumber producer. Railroad owner Watco Companies wants to diversify the freight traffic as the state’s timber industry shrinks. Transporting magnetite via Fortine is more direct than the previ...
BILLINGS (AP) — A Laurel man has been given a six-year deferred sentence for negligent arson for a February 2015 fire that caused around $6 million in damage to a business that manufactured fiberglass tanks for use in the oil fields. Kristopher Michael Harasymczuk, 31, also was sentenced Monday to complete 30 days of work for the Yellowstone County sheriff’s labor detail and pay $100 a month to Fiberglass Solutions during each month of his deferred sentence. The total restitution will be just more than $7,000. Court rec...

What are you serving for Thanksgiving dinner? Do you have room for a delicious new side dish? Today's recipe is styled after my favorite sweet potato casserole, but it isn't as sugary and uses carrots as the star attraction instead of sweet potatoes. I like how easy this casserole comes together. Don't let the total cooking time fool you. This is super-easy. For more than half the time, the carrots are either cooking on the stovetop or baking in the oven, so you are free to...
Editor’s note: The computer program provided by the Montana state government to print media reports on court actions does not always list all fines assessed.

The Montana State University-Northern volleyball team was much-improved in 2016. And though the Skylights' season ended with a loss to UGF in the first round of the Frontier Conference Tournament, Northern got some outstanding postseason recognition. The Frontier released its 2016 postseason honors Monday, and many Skylights made the list. Freshman Timi Severson was one of two Skylights to be named First-Team All-Conference, but she was also named the Frontier Freshman of the...
Losing is hard. Rebuilding is hard. And while patience may be a virtue, patience is pretty nonexistent in the world of college football. And yet, following last Saturday’s season finale between the Montana State University-Northern Lights and the College of Idaho Yotes, patience is something everybody needs to have when it comes to Lights’ football. Yes, I write about the Lights every day, so I’m well aware of the numbers. I know exactly how many games they haven’t won, an...
