Some folks have been surprised that the Ukrainian army has, thus far, successfully not only invaded Russia but has managed to hold onto a chunk of territory since August 6th. The lack of coordinated response by the Russian military doesn’t, however, come as a big surprise to political scientists. Putin is a dictator, the leader of an authoritarian system. Leaders who create such a system usually don’t do very well when faced with change. When Russia invaded Ukraine in February of 2022 and fai...
Rodney George Boboth, 71, was born June 20, 1953, in Conrad, Montana. He died August 16, 2024, at his home in Craig, Montana. Rod was the second of three children born to Bob & Peggy (Orcutt) Boboth.

Rather, every Christian should give generously and joyously and not grudgingly or under compulsion. Although, this writer thinks 10 percent is a...
You may have wondered what has happened to Dave Carroll and Mountaintop Musings. I know that occasionally I miss a week due to the business of ministry and life. Sometimes I just forget, ok? I am human and subject to messing up. But most of you reading these columns can not possibly know that my family has suffered a great loss. On August 6, my son Jesse was found dead in his apartment in Denver, Colorado. He was getting ready for work and laid back on his bed and stepped into the presence of Jesus. It was and is a shock to our family and his...
Friday's Farmers Market was interrupted by a "Severe Thunderstorm Warning," sending all vendors scurrying inside the Wedsworth Hall for cover. The emergency alert came in at 5:15 from the National Weather Service, warning that destructive winds of 80 mph were possible, and asking people to take shelter in a sturdy building. The storm caused the power to go out throughout the town. But that did not deter those who had committed to having the Farmers Market, come what may! Vendors started posting...

Boom towns have come and gone in Montana. Most are forgotten and do not exist except in the annals of time and history and a few old photos. Ever been to Demersville, Montana??

It was the first incorporated town in Northwest Montana. The once vibrant boomtown has long been reassigned to the history books. It was located near what’s now the city of Kalispell. Dillon Tabish wrote in a 2021 story for ...
