The Piper Cub is finally finished. Two years ago, the wrecked airplane from a shop in South Dakota came to Roundup Airport in pieces. Jake Barthule, Kelly Gebhardt, and Clint Worman worked two years, for four to five days a week, to bring the little cub back to prime condition. The plane has special modifications that the owner wanted, so it is more than just the standard cub. It has been test flown, and is ready for the customer to pick up. According to the guys, “The airport is coming back...

HELENA, Mont. – Governor Greg Gianforte blasted the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) in a letter for mismanagement and an unwillingness to aggressively fight fires on federal land. "The State of Montana is committed, and will continue, to show up and fight fire aggressively and safely within its wildfire protection," the governor wrote. "It is my expectation that the USFS meet that same commitment within its jurisdiction and responsibility as well. However, as we discussed, I have concerns about several fires this season where USFS is not being...

By: Youth C.A.R.E.S In the bloom of youth, so bright and free, We dream of futures yet to be, But shadows lurk, and dangers call, Threatening to make our spirits fall. Amidst the allure of drugs and drink, We face the perils that make us shrink, But in our hearts, a fire burns, A desire to learn, to grow, and to yearn. We stand together, hand in hand, Against the tides of substance's demand, With courage and resolve, we take a stand, To protect our dreams and our land. We seek the warmth of friendship's embrace, And the guidance of those who...

Dr. Bushman usually sees 45-50 each day he is in Roundup, two days a week. The balance of his time is spent in his office...

Teddy Roosevelt on immigration and being an American "In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American ... There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but...
Minnesota governor Tim Walz is a progressive Liberal extremist who is obsessed with the Californian dream that is every American's nightmare. Like Presidential progressive candidate Kamala Harris he will never tell us the truth about anything or important events. Should this extremist far left twosome get inside the White House it will also end the Democrat party. The Democrats will never regain their normalcy. Either will the United States of America. From now until November 5 take a good look at the state of California. Is this what you...
Turn off the politicians and listen to yourself By Roger Koopman I wonder if it ever dawns on all those well-paid, city-bred consultants who come in to run most of Montana’s major campaigns, that nobody is listening anymore? Oh, sure. There are the political junkies, left and right, who thrive on the junk food of campaign advertising, doused with the vinegar of vitriol. But for most folks, the noise of the election season has reached a decibel level that so numbs the ears, that the messages are no longer getting through. We just want to be...
On June 1st of this year, I came back to the Montana Petroleum Association (MPA) as the interim Executive Director. BLM and their new bonding rules have serious implications and consequences for Montana’s oil and gas businesses. On June 6th the Montana Wildlife Federation published a statewide opinion piece praising the BLM for new bonding rules. On June 13th BLM director Stone-Manning was grilled by the US Senate Energy Committee. Montana Senator Steve Daines asked her if she had spoken to Montana oil producers. She had not but agreed to a...
It’s ironic that the very groups who vilify rich, out-of-staters are the same ones backing rich out-of-state big city organizations who are trying to get us to amend our constitution. What’s it to them? Montanans worked hard to frame our constitution and won’t change it for irrelevant nonsense. We don’t need single party ballots. We wouldn’t be “divided” if we weren’t being enflamed by these hateful campaign ads and “sensational” newscasts shoving hateful things in our faces. And that sounds like they’re working toward...
Proponents of CI-128 frame the initiative as the only way to protect abortion rights. But let’s be clear: Montanans already have strong protections for abortion under our state constitution. Since the Armstrong v. State case in 1999, Montana’s Supreme Court held that the state Constitution protects a woman’s right to an abortion before fetal viability, based on the privacy clause. And despite recent legislative efforts to impose restrictions—such as banning abortions after 20 weeks—Montana courts have consistently struck down all...
HELENA, Mont. – Governor Greg Gianforte issued the following statement in response to rulings from the Montana Supreme Court that included the halting of state laws banning taxpayer-funded abortions. "For nearly 50 years through the Hyde Amendment, Congress has banned the use of federal taxpayer dollars for elective abortions, a position supported by an overwhelming majority of Americans. I signed these bills into law to enact the same commonsense protections for Montana taxpayers, preventing taxpayer dollars from paying for elective...
