We’ve read the reports of how joblessness is down, seen all the help wanted signs and listened to the ’70s generation talk about how “jobs were so scarce back in my day, there was 80 people applying for every job listed, and if you didn’t show up in a suit, carrying a 10-page resume, for a mechanic job you were culled at the door.” Maybe that last one is just my cross to bear, nevertheless, these days, plenty of job opportunities exist, and here are some of them: The Scott...

Last week, the Fort Benton Longhorns dominated the field at the District 9C track meet in order to wrap up a three-peat, after winning a third straight district championship.

Belt finished second with 86, followed by...
Out our way, one discovers a certain hierarchy when working cattle. The cows rule the calves, the bulls — in season — rule the cows and the smaller bulls, and the rancher rules them all.

We know that we are closer to the return of Jesus than we were yesterday. The Bible talks...
