Truckloads of cattle being shipped are a common sight this time of year and on any given morning gas stations around the region are filled with numerous trucks ready to be loaded at one of the many operations around Blaine County. Ranchers look forward to seeing what their calves will weigh and what they will bring at market as many semi loads head to markets in Iowa and South Dakota where feedlots and feed are more readily available. These cattle are just a fraction of Blaine Counties...

WHAT IS GREENLIGHT A VET? America’s veterans are some of our nation’s bravest, hardest-working men and women. However, it’s hard to show them the appreciation they deserve when, back home and out of uniform, they’re more camouflaged than ever.

For many people, Thanksgiving is their favorite holiday because it stresses getting together and having a great meal. There is no gift buying and none of the religious overtones that come with Christmas, just a month away. No, Thanksgiving is simply a time to get together and watch some football and have that great meal. That is all different for people selling things. They have worked to the bones to make their stores and shops beautiful for buying those Christmas gifts for everyone and traditionally it all starts the day after Thanksgiving...

Q: I divorced my abusive husband after he got in trouble and ended up in prison, and I told him I never wanted to see him again. Now he claims he’s found God, and he says he wants to restart our relationship when he gets out in a few months. How do I know he isn’t just faking it? — L.McS A: You are wise to be cautious; not everyone who claims to be a follower of Jesus is actually committed to Him. Eleven of Jesus’ closest disciples truly believed in Him, but one — Judas — was only interested in himself and later betrayed Jesus. Don’t misun...

It was an up and down weekend for Montana football. Big Sandy lost to Bridger on Friday night leaving them out in the cold until next year. I think that next year will see great things from the Pioneers.

The score was 17 to 15 and one thing that made it easier for the Griz to win that game is that in about the first or second play of the game, the Arizona quarterback just blew up and was...
