The last showing of “Annie” in Ekalaka occurred over twenty years ago when current Ekalaka Public Schools music teacher, Miss Whitney Hamblin, was a student/per...
With 10 days left of Montana’s 90-day legislative session, eyes turned Monday to House Bill 2, the state’s main budget bill. The Senate got its turn with HB 2 Monday, amending the bill eight times before advancing it on a 28-to-22 vote. But, in the House, the public gallery erupted in protest over Republican Speaker of the House Matt Regier’s decision to not allow Rep. Zooey Zephyr, D-Missoula, to speak on a bill for a third time. On Tuesday, leadership canceled the House Floor session and the Capitol was, at least partially, at a stand...

In these times of crazy inflation, everyone is looking to save a few bucks or find more efficient ways to do things. I love household hints, so I have compiled a few that tickled my funny bone even if they are not legitimate. (Disclaimer: Do not actually try these household hints at home—yours or anyone else’s!) 1. When you receive your bill at a restaurant table, fill in the blank for tip with the negative of the amount of the bill and put $0.00 on the total line. (Bonus tip: Do not plan to eat at this restaurant again.) 2. If you are cho...
You know, Lord, sometimes we need to stop and take a breath – like, WHOA; MAY is almost upon us –WOW! What do we expect with MAY? Well, a friend decided to share some thoughts about MAY - like about how their wild crabapple blossoms are about to open, they already know that they will be so lovely! That is enough joy for any month. The wealth of aroma drenches the air. Before the blooms come, one anticipates their color, their perfume, their wild-wood wonder. When the blossoms do show up, they bask in sunlight on days of earliest Spring. When th...
Where to start? It’s a rush to the end. Day 79 is in the books. It’s that point in the session when the can can’t be kicked down the road much longer. Typically there may be several bills that are similar in their mission to accomplish relatively similar outcomes. They all have a price tag, so the job becomes one of weeding out some or all, maybe parts of several bills becoming one. Just for fun, Friday evening, a couple of other reps and I, sat in on the Senate Finance and Claims Commi...
