Over the last 13 months since Lukas Seely first brought his comedic stylings to Malta, some things have changed for the Billings, Mont. native and somethings remain the same. Since he headlined the first ever Montarctica Live Comedy show last October, Seely has gotten a gig working for his favorite NFL football team – the San Francisco 49ers, where he gives pregame “comedic weather reports” to the team in which he jokes about their opposition – and was recently contacted by the booking agent fro...
At Tuesday night’s Malta City Council meeting, Malta Mayor Shyla Jones invited Phillips County Justice of the Peace Gayle Stahl to talk to the council about the possibility of Malta hiring a fulltime compliance officer who would enforce city ordinances. JOP Stahl, Mayor Jones and the council members talked about the possible compliance officer for 40 minutes before deciding that the council will continue to talk about the possibility of hiring a fulltime officer -- including discussions with P...
Bozeman businessman Greg Gianforte, who is considering a run as governor, returned to Phillips County last week making several stops in the area to talk with people about entrepreneurship and bringing jobs back to Montana via telecommunication. Gianforte’s first stop on his Phillips County visit was at the Great Northern Motel’s Lodge Room where he met with over 20 people after being invited to speak by the PhillCo Economic Growth Council. Prior to the event, Gianforte, a republican, told the...
I’m thankful for things both large and small -- the sun which warms me while I sit hunkered in the sagebrush waiting for that buck to show himself, and my family which keeps growing larger. I’m thankful for the birds I missed that will be there tomorrow and for the one I hit that will feed me tonight. I’m thankful to live in Montana where there remains country wild enough to swallow me up if I’m not careful, where the water and air are pure and sustain the wildest of life, and the climate...
Governor Steve Bullock says he will look favorably on Middle Eastern refugees settling in Montana unless there are concerns about them posing a threat to our safety. Other Governors have also made their opinions known regarding Middle Eastern refugees in their states. The reality, though, is that state Governors have little actual authority in terms of foreign refugees. This would be true even if the Governors were attempting to enforce laws on immigration enacted by their legislatures. We are one nation in terms of foreign policy, which...
NorthWestern Energy (NWE) recently forecast that federal efforts to stabilize our climate by reducing the amount of carbon pollution are bound to do significant and permanent damage to the Montana economy. In NWE’s scare story, the only way that Montana can meet its obligations under the EPA’s Clean Power Plan is to shut down all four of the Colstrip electrical generators by 2022, eliminate the coal mine that fuels them, abandon the high voltage Colstrip power line, and build expensive replacements for them all. To get these dire results, NWE h...
Between binge-writing stories, picking up and delivering the PCN on Mondays and Tuesdays, on Wednesday my brain is drained. Of course the weekend adds to the brain fatigue I feel on Wednesday. Not to joke about the medical condition but in my tired state of mind things get bipolar real fast. I have less control over my mind on Wednesday mornings. I can sing anything from love ballads to rap at any given moment. I can go from over the top excited to useless in minutes. Sometimes in my tired...

I hope all my readers had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! I know that I did! Jeannie Schroeder, Saige and Zoey Stordahl drove up from Billings to spend a few days with Grandma and Grandpa Stordahl and Rodney Stordahl.

2-14. We learned that not all insects fly. In one of our books we found two vertebrates (duck and frog) and one invertebrate (dragonfly). We talked about earthworms and spiders. Linden and I have a big spider in our porch. None of our earthworms wanted to come out. We looked for bugs. Andi found a wasp. Linden found a fly. We wrote what was the same about our bugs, and what was different. Andi found the wasp in the garbage can, so apparently wasps like garbage. The fly tried to escape. I think vertebrae are shaped like some kind of airplanes....
