  • Hi-Line Living: Volunteer of the Year

    Paul Dragu|Updated Nov 20, 2016

    Mandy Hansen didn't have plans to work with Special Olympic athletes. Her volunteer position as the Local Program Coordinator of the Great Northern Area Special Olympics region started when she was asked to temporarily fill in for a friend who needed to take maternity leave. About nine years later, on Nov. 4, Hansen won a Distinguished Service Award for her volunteer work with Special Olympic athletes. "I'll be honest. I had no idea there's a volunteer of the year award,"...

    Paul Dragu|Updated Nov 18, 2016

    Tyler Harrison, born in 1995, received a three-year deferred imposition of sentence for the offense of obtaining unauthorized control over stolen property, a felony. The sentence, which is pursuant to a plea deal, can be erased from Harrison's record if he abides by its conditions.

  • Our View: County needs to change fair manager position

    Updated Nov 18, 2016

    For the third time in less than three years, the Great Northern Fairgrounds is without a manager. Tim Solomon resigned in 2015 after 12 years in the position, amidst the board redesigning the fairgrounds manager job description. Since then, the board has hired two fairgrounds managers, both of whom have since resigned — one who resigned after the fair board rescinded its firing him in an unannounced meeting the week before. While the county looks at who will take the place of Bob Horne, who submitted in an email his r...

  • Voters decide they would rather watch Trump on TV

    Updated Nov 18, 2016

    “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.” — H.L. Mencken My most recent one-to-one conversation with Hillary Clinton took place in October 1991, and I’ve been laughing at myself ever since. It was an epochal day in Arkansas life. Only that morning, the Arkansas Gazette — the oldest newspaper west of the Mississippi, and one of the best — had ceased publication. Many friends had lost their livelihoods. We ran into the Clintons at a barbecue outside War Memoria...

  • It's a little early to fail at Christmas

    Updated Nov 18, 2016

    I tried the holiday self-improved-shopper route this year, but it’s not even Thanksgiving yet and I’ve already managed to ruin Christmas. In my defense, though, I had help. I simply set things in motion, and they snowballed into ruination. In fact, the thing that I set into motion was my mom, the strongest force of nature known to mankind, a thing that cannot be controlled or contained, so I don’t know how I expected a positive outcome. And yes, for the record, I am saying that my mom stole Christmas. In a normal Chris...

    MATT VOLZ Associated Press HELENA — Gov.

  • Out Our Way:

    Updated Nov 18, 2016

    Mark 10:1-12 Out our way, one of the most frustrating things is to drive down one of the dirt roads by the cow pasture and discover cows out on the road. In most cases what we discover is that someone didn't latch the gate properly so some of the cows just wandered out. I don't imagine anyone left the gate open on purpose, but sometimes when folks get lazy, are in a hurry, are frustrated, or just don't care, the gate isn't closed properly, and then we have cows on the road....

  • Pastor's Corner: Remember the Big Jake Principle

    Updated Nov 18, 2016

    2 Timothy 4:7 — “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” If the Christian life is a race, have you ever felt like quitting? I recently taught a class on the second book that the apostle Paul wrote to Timothy. The author of the study guide, Matt Proctor, says that every time he reads the above verse he thinks of “Jake.” Jake was a teammate of the author’s when they were in high school. Matt ran long distance; Jake threw the shot put. Everyone called him Big Jake because he was, quite fra...

  • Practical Pastoring: Ordination Book Five

    Updated Nov 18, 2016

    I remember parts of my ordination ceremony 20 years ago. Pastor Dan, brothers in the Lord, local pastors, elders of the Ark Church, and members of the congregation attended the ceremony. The impact of the laying on of hands and separating one for service in the kingdom is significant. The ordination confirms that you and others have heard the Lord and obeyed Him. Not everyone will be happy that you are being set in as a pastor. Carnal Christians and those with their own agenda may boycott, protest, or attempt to draw...

  • Hello God, it's me, Mara

    Updated Nov 18, 2016

    You know, Lord, many years ago Billy Graham wrote a story about a pig which went something like this: A farmer brought a pig into the house, gave the pig a bath, polished his hooves and even put some sweet smelling Chanel No. 5 on him. Things were looking good, so the old farmer put a ribbon around his neck, and put the piggy in the living room. The pig looked fine. He made a nice companionable pet — for a few minutes. But, as soon as the door was opened, the pig left the living room and jumped into the first mud puddle that...

  • Nationals hit the road for tough Frontier games

    Chris Peterson|Updated Nov 18, 2016

    The Glacier Nationals got a break in the schedule last weekend, playing just one game. Now, after seven days off, Glacier is ready to get back on the ice and hopefully back in the win column. The Nationals, who are part of the North Tier 3 Hockey League, will take part in Frontier Division play this weekend, travelling first to take on the Great Falls Americans in Great Falls tonight, followed by a road game against Helena Saturday. As much as the Nationals have struggled to...

  • Area gridders earn Northern C accolades

    Chris Peterson|Updated Nov 18, 2016

    As far as conferences go in 8-Man football, there may be none more difficult than the Northern C and this past season, was no different. The 10-team league, which welcomed in Hays-Lodge Pole this season, has had a good postseason run the past few years, but with Belt’s loss in the state semifinals last week, it will be the first time in a few years that the Northern C is not part of the state title game. That means, that the time for postseason awards is here as the N...

  • Time for a Brawl in Missoula

    George Ferguson|Updated Nov 18, 2016

    For the second straight season, the stakes in the Brawl of the Wild are familiar. The Montana Grizzlies are fighting tooth and nail for a shot at the FCS playoffs. The Montana State Bobcats are fighting for pride. And while both the No. 22 Grizzlies (6-4, 3-4) and the un-ranked Bobcats (3-7, 1-6) have had what many would term, disappointing seasons to this point, Saturday's showdown, which is the 116th meeting between the two bitter rivals, will be no less special, and no less...

  • Cat-Griz Game Day Feature: He is the heart of the Bobcats

    George Ferguson|Updated Nov 16, 2016

    Chad Newell is not just a good running back, he's a throwback to the days before college football teams were running spread offenses, before they were throwing it 50 times a game, and well before the days of all these crazy offensive schemes you see today. But, that doesn't mean Newell doesn't fit into today's college football landscape. No, Newell, the Montana State Bobcat senior has fit in better than anyone thought he would. Despite being a record-setting running back at...

  • Cat-Griz Game Day Feature: Kidder exemplifies the #37 tradition

    George Ferguson|Updated Nov 16, 2016

    When then graduated defensive Zach Wagenmann, Montana's all-time sack leader, told Caleb Kidder, a junior to be at the time, that he was going to wear the famed No. 37 jersey for the final two years of his career as a Grizzly, Kidder was stunned, and didn't know what to say. "I was shocked. I was pretty surprised," Kidder said. "I didn't see it coming because we hang out on a regular basis since he's been back. It's pretty awesome." Kidder may have been stunned and lost for wo...
