The Hill County commissioners met Thursday morning and discussed what to do if they received funding from the planning portion of a federal grant, for which the commission is working on applying.

When you wrestle for the Montana State University-Northern Lights, and head coach Tyson Thivierge, your senior night is always going to be memorable. But for two of Northern's four seniors who were honored before Thursday night's home finale, it will be a night inside the Armory Gymnasium they'll never, ever forget.

Yes, 40 years is a long time to hold a grudge, but I think it’s safe to say, now, that my whole brain can let the resentment go, thanks to some German researchers and a small herd of horses. In 1979 an art teacher named Betty Edwards wrote a book called “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain” that quickly became a bestseller. Because I was a young artist with some talent I was given a copy. Because I was a bit of a nerdy studier, I devoured the book — the first two chapter...
Editor, I always thought I was very lucky anytime I was around Roger Martens. I felt that he was amazingly cool and a wonderful presence. I never saw him when he wasn’t in a good mood. Also, I always thought Roger was the coolest looking guy I ever saw. I can’t say just how much he meant to me or just how much I liked him, but I would say, anybody who had a connection with Marty should consider themselves very lucky. B. Mollberg Kalispell...
You know, Lord, it’s fascinating when friends share a picture of sunsets, sunrises, and intriguing cloud shapes that they have seen and enjoyed, especially when they entitle it, “View from a front porch rocking chair.” Sharing the photos with a friend, she wondered if the world would be different if every one of us gazed at the lovely evening skies. Now that is a thought, right, Lord? How many of us have seen a shooting star? A few friends have. One gal mentioned that maybe we could have world peace if every one of us would...
Out our way, the use of cell phones can be limited. I was kidding Charlie about being glad Doc could not be wired from a phone — when his cell phone went off. Big Mike was calling about a missing bull. But where we were in Tiger Ridge did not allow for a clear call, so we had to ride up various ridges until Charlie could get a signal. Now here I am in the city, and while I can usually get a signal, the WiFi is spotty. My laptop went haywire again and I am not sure this will even get through because of it. There are times I r...

The Montana State University-Northern men's and women's basketball teams went down to the wire with the University of Providence Argos two weeks ago in Great Falls. So Thursday night must have felt like Deja Vu. For the Northern men however, the tables were turned from an overtime victory over the Argos back on Jan. 8, as Providence edged the Lights 79-78 Thursday night inside the McLaughlin Center. Northern senior Caulin Bakalarski, who made a game-winning 3-pointer the last...
