Amid the blessing of pending rain and gusts of wind, the decision to move the local Day of Prayer from the Courthouse lawn to the warm and ever-welcoming River's Bend Assisted Living Center was a wise one. About 50 people joined in prayer, worship and fellowship as the intentions for peace and answers across our nation were offered. Pr. Orvin Solberg shared, "Our heavenly Father is not caught unaware. Through prayer, we are able to tap into his wisdom, strength, protection and peace. He stands r...
On Saturday, April 27th, the Senior Citizens stirred up eight flavors of soup that pleased the guests. The crowd flow into the Center was constant, as though they called ahead to be assured there would be seating. An array of delicious desserts also met with the approval of those attending.

Thanks to the generosity of the community, the Seniors are one step closer to...

The two of us are from different political parties, don’t always agree on legislation and actually ran a spirited campaign against one another several years ago. Having said that, we are not enemies. In fact, it’s just the opposite. We are friends that actually get along and work together as much as possible for the betterment of the Hi-Line and those who live and work here. One legislative proposal we both were pleased to enthusiastically support, along with 86% of our House and Senate colleagues, was Senate Bill 442, sponsored by our fel...
Following an aborted hitch-hiking trip to Alaska that ended with a night in jail in Eureka, I found myself in Livingston waiting for a ride to Cooke City where I had work. It was hours before dawn and there was no traffic. I curled up next to my backpack and closed my eyes. The sound of tires crunching gravel woke me with a start. A Livingston police cruiser had stopped just feet away, and a cop, holding the passenger door open, said get in. He drove me a few miles south of town, told me to get...
I may not be alone in saying that this is my favorite time of year in the state of Montana; which is odd for me being that I have always been a fan of the fall season nearly everywhere I have lived.

I have had a change of heart since moving here in 2012. Most of the winters here have been brutal. And though the lack of humidity here is...

Last year I wrote about how much poultry was shipped out of Phillips County. There was an active movement in the early 1920s to develop the poultry industry in the county. In mid-May, 1923, three community poultry housing demonstrations were held. They were put on by the county agent and Miss Harriette Cushman, poultry specialist from Montana State College. The old poultry houses were torn down and remodeled on the H. J. Rocek farm at Black Coulee and the Mac Schoop farm at South Wagner. A new house was built on the J. N. Mangis farm. The...
