"Montana has the sixth fastest wage growth in the nation over the past decade, and we must build on this trend by continuing to create...

As per usual, the 2020 Frontier Conference men's basketball season began last month. Now however, league play is here to stay, and it will be an exciting race to March Madness. Providence was picked to win the league this year, and so far, the Argos look every bit the part. Still, defending Frontier stars Carroll College and Lewis-Clark State aren't ready to give up the crown either, and MSU-Northern and Rocky Mountain College have the talent to do damage, too. Also, in an...
For the last several years, it would be hard to argue that the Frontier Conference hasn't been the absolute toughest conference in all of NAIA women's basketball, culminating with Montana Western's 2019 NAIA national championship last March in Billings. And through the first three months of NAIA basketball this season, it would be hard to argue that anything has changed. In other words, the Frontier is still really good. Yet there have been some surprises, and that's going to...

A federal judge ruled that a group suing to overturn a Montana executive order requiring disclosure of contributions to dark money groups has to fix their lawsuit or it will be permanently dismissed. Judge Charles Lovell dismissed Illinois Opportunity Project’s lawsuit challenging a 2018 executive order by Gov. Steve Bullock and gave it to Jan. 21, to refile the lawsuit or will be dismissed permanently. “Today’s decision is another chapter in Montana’s proud, successful history of standing up to out-of-state dark money g...
A Maryland woman has proven that, when it comes to Christmas gifts, it’s not the giving that counts — it’s the giving, then taking it back and then cashing it in for $50,000 that really counts. Unified Payments International reported Dec. 27 that Deirdre Stokes of Maryland bought some scratch-off lottery tickets as Christmas presents and the one that she bought her husband was a $50,000 winner. She said she only buys tickets around Christmastime to give as little gifts for f...
You know, Lord, reading an article titled "REFLECTIONS," a challenge was given: "If you were another person, would you like to be a friend of yourself?" What a good New Year's Resolution that would be for every one of us to make, right? But - like it or not, that is a hard saying. That challenge calls for some inner inspection. Does our Christian walk go with our talk? We know that we should pray our walk would show. A person has to live with himself and in so doing, it's up t...
This article is scheduled to appear on January 3, so my “Happy New Year!” wishes are a couple days late, but they come from the heart, nonetheless. It’s transition time. As the adage goes, “out with the old, in with the new!” The 2019 calendar is cluttered with last year’s appointments and notes about various activities. As I quickly flip through those pages, I’m reminded of the many wonderful things that occurred over the past 12 months. For example, some new pastors arrived in our community and are plugging in and blessi...
They've gone ahead still missed a lot, their pictures on the wall. A friend shared 'bout her broken heart, some things still make her bawl. Their life was oh, so beautiful, his death a silent grief. She knows he's in God's "garden" now, in sunshine and at peace. She misses him so very much, but knows God's plan is best. God granted him so many years, then gently bid him rest. When we don't know what we're to do[1], we turn our eyes to YOU. This Grief Road's hard, You'll give...
