Morris were hung on the wall across the hall from the County Superintendents Office on the main floor of the Blaine County courthouse. Jude Sheppard, the former Director of the Blaine County Museum, explained, "We had a gift from Chuck and Miriam Palm plus another private grant to purchase some of Morris' post cards that became available. With part of the gift we had some images Morris took enlarged for hanging...
Hello Harlem! I hope you, your family and friends all enjoyed a very happy new year. For many of us, the celebration of the new year includes making resolutions for the upcoming year. This tradition stretches back over 4,000 years when the ancient Babylonians made promises for the upcoming year to their gods for health, a good harvest and peaceful times. Through the centuries, these resolutions often had a religious significance. New year’s resolutions today are a mostly secular practice. Instead of making promises to the gods, most people make...
Thousands of million-dollar homes are benefiting from tax provisions aimed to boost farms and ranches. Montana’s property tax system is a complicated thing, involving mind-boggling math and a bewildering array of rules aimed at fairly dividing the bill for public services like schools and police departments between hundreds of thousands of properties. It’s a tricky task, of course, to agree on what exactly fair means when it comes to taxes — and a trickier one for lawmakers to write a tax code that implements a fair framework without looph...

Q: I always feel kind of depressed after Christmas, and I've never been able to figure out why. It usually takes weeks and weeks for me to begin feeling normal. Why is this? A: I’m not a psychologist, of course—but I’ve noticed that some people do tend to feel somewhat “down in the dumps” after they’ve been very busy. It’s not just physical exhaustion (although that may be part of it); often it’s emotional exhaustion as well. I often think of Elijah in the Old Testament. He was one of God’s greatest prophets and a man of deep faith, and he had...

In recent interviews, legislative leaders predicted a vigorous debate over keeping the Medicaid expansion program, which pays the medical bills of more than...
The Beeters, Wildcats, and Thunderbirds grapplers opened the weekend on Thursday in Chester - and closed it on Saturday in Cut Bank.

MONTANA - Grizzly bears in the lower 48 states will continue to be protected under the Endangered Species Act. The US Fish and Wildlife Service has officially denied petitions to remove these protections, citing the need for the population to recover further. The Center for Biological Diversity noted that grizzly bear numbers around Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks have improved since their protection began in 1975. However, the bears still face threats from isolation and human-caused deaths. Andrea Zaccardi, legal director of the...
