  • Our View: Hi-Line darts and laurels

    Updated Mar 18, 2016

    Dart — Every four years, editorial writers decry the ugly state of politics claiming that it is worse than it ever has been. This year, it’s worse than it ever has been. The nasty name-calling has lowered the level of public discourse. We can blame Donald Trump, but many others have lowered themselves to his level. Laurel —That’s why it’s great to live on the Hi-Line. It’s hard to imagine a race with sharper ideological differences than they have in District 28, Havre’s seat in the Montana House. Republican Stephanie Hes...

  • View from the North 40: A P-word by another name

    Updated Mar 18, 2016

    I had heard about it, yes, but I did not want to actually hear it, you know, with my ears — or worse, see it with my eyes at the same time my ears were hearing it. I am, of course, talking about the news clip of presidential candidate Donald Trump calling fellow Republican Ted Cruz the P-word during a presidential rally. Not that any of the P-words bother me in normal circumstances. Technically, I am a P-word. Also, I’m not running for president. Language like that from a possible future dignitary and I’m thinking, “Real...

    Alice Miller|Updated Mar 18, 2016

    Two minutes: That's about how long it took Heidi Nystrom to notice a newborn calf stuck in its sack, realize no one else saw the situation, and run to the barn to save the calf. Nystrom was drinking a cup of coffee at the main house when she saw the problem on the video feed from a system of cow cameras installed earlier this year by Triangle Communications. "I'm waiting, I'm calling, panicking," Nystrom said. Then she saw steam in the corner of one of the camera's views. Her...

    Updated Mar 18, 2016

    Jesus went into a house but the crowds that followed him were so great neither he nor the disciple could even find the time or freedom to eat.
