Editor, If your candidate, or the candidates’ party, questions election integrity, including our local level officials, they are sending us voters a message. What that exact message’s is unclear, but it is meant to place doubt in our form of government. It might be “we know what happened last time, but we’re not telling” (wink-wink) or “don’t bother voting, it will be changed anyway,” or “if we lose it’s because we were cheated,” or whatever. After mentioning it, these candidates, all from the same party, (hint — they l...
A person’s life has its defining moments, some large and understandably life-changing like an illness or a loss or a great kindness from another person, but others are small, intimate, personal moments that can completely change a person’s mindset and the trajectory of their life, like kneeling down and being unable to get up again without groaning and the use of a prop. One of my favorite activities in the whole world is sitting. Have a seat, take a seat, pull up a chair and...

Out our way, everybody knows that if you are going to ride you are likely to get hurt now and then. I was fortunate when working cattle with Charlie up on the Tiger Ridge that I never had a "wreck." Doc, the only cowpony with four left hooves, stumbled and tripped up quite a bit, but never when we were actually working the herd. On private outings, however, that was a different story. More than once, I got "air time" as Doc stumbled, kicked out with a muscle cramp - if we call...
Human beings like to remember things ... special things. And they do so in remarkably creative ways. Americans are no different. In addition to building things, we also set aside certain days to remember someone or something that meant a lot to our collective experience as Americans. In November, we remember our veterans. And so we come to Memorial Day, a day to remember. Take a look at Joshua 4:4-7. It refers to a memorial. The people of Israel were on the final leg of their...
Another friend flew off last week, to be with You, dear Lord. When our turn comes, we'll fly off, too, NOT take our Bus or FORD. A split second, that's all it took, our loved one flew away. We weren't right there: a wink - a blink; they left without delay. First one they saw was You, dear Lord, You're right by Heaven's door! No thoughts about tomorrow there - they're with You ever more! While God makes us in Mamma's womb, we've not a clue 'bout birth! But once we're born,...
You know, Lord, family, friends and loved ones seem to be losing family, friends and loved ones, every week or every month. How great that remaining dear ones have a 'time' together, sharing special deeds and thoughts of those who've passed on. At one gathering, friends and family shared about their special "Ms. B."; what she'd meant to them, all she'd shared, quilts she'd made for family, friends and even several she'd sent to an orphanage. On and on they chatted when...

And just like that it’s over. Another year of area sports has come and gone. And first, while COVID-19 isn’t gone from our lives, let me just say, it was so refreshing to have as normal a sports year as we possibly could. For the most part, things began feeling like old times again. As for the year itself, it was another busy one on the Hi-Line, and for myself, Kason and Colin, it was a lot of fun to cover everything. The highlights of the last three seasons of sports in our a...
