Lauren Bruner Story by Erica Dodd Lauren Mareth Bruner was born on March 3, 2003. Lauren admires her Jr High teacher Mrs. Bedford, because she always uses her time to help other people, and has helped Lauren multiple times in the past when she was feeling down. Her favorite childhood memory is of her and her cousins drinking smoothies at their grandmother's house. Three words that can describe Lauren are caring, organized, and impatient. Lauren isn't quite sure what she is going to do after she...

The Republican party fell far short in stopping the communist take-over of all the levers of federal governmental power. Senator Steve Daines was the most obvious legislator to turn tail and give in to Washington D.C's disruptions. Here is Senator Daines's statement after changing his mind not to support President Trump. "Today is a sad day for our country. The destruction and violence we saw at our Capitol today is an assault on our democracy, our Constitution and the rule of law, and must not be tolerated. As Americans, we believe in the...
Taking the concept that 'All politics are local.' The best ideas and solutions are to be found locally. I believe Musselshell County is ready for a tea-party type movement. This group should focus itself on the goings-on of state government. Over time this group could coordinate with other chapters around the state as they spring up. Taking an active part and genuinely being a watchdog of the legislature, all statewide offices, and the lower level bureaucracies will ensure that Montana does not suffer the collapse of self-government that is...
Riverside FAS This letter is to express my concern regarding the proposed Riverside Fishing Access Site (FAS) being considered by Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks (FWP) and Musselshell County. Since there seems to be some confusion among several County residents I have already spoken to, this proposed FAS is not the old Riverside Hall (Stage Stop Café) property. The proposed FAS includes all of the former Chuck and Irene Carson property and the former Minnie Greenhouse property. When I first learned about a year ago that these properties were po...
The coup against President Trump continues. Will it be over after January 20, 2021? What happened a few days ago in Washington D.C. is a sampling of how angry Americans are with both parties who are corrupt to say the least. The Biden administration will be full of holes, weakness and lies. In 1988 he was forced out of Presidential run because of lying and plagiarism. He is a bum! And a member of the Deep state. You can hear a TOTALITARIANISM in his voice as he puffs out his old mans chest. He said, to Trump supporters, "Don't you dare etc."...
Todd O’Hair, President & CEO, Montana Chamber of Commerce Montana, along with the rest of the US, has suffered through almost an entire year filled with the devastating COVID-19 pandemic. The impact on our health can be quantified by infection rates, the number of hospitalizations, and COVID-19 related deaths. Quantifying the effects on our economy is much more difficult. While vaccines offer hope to the end of the pandemic, the gravity of the economic fallout is yet to be determined. On his second day in office, Governor Gianforte took an impo...
On January 7, the day after rioters entered the US Capitol and put hundreds of politicians to flight in support of Donald Trump's election fraud claims, Wisconsins's State Assembly passed a resolution. The money line: "[P]olitical violence in any form has no place in the American system of government and should never be tolerated." If the Assembly (and other government bodies passing such resolutions) had followed up by dissolving themselves and sending their members home for good, I might believe they mean what they're saying. Otherwise, no di...
In the course of discussing the recent election results with several friends, I urged them to get involved in local politics where you have the opportunity to make your voice heard, but their reply was that they are tired of meetings and hate them. Thinking more about this topic, I decided that I hate meetings too, but there comes a time that we are going to have to give up some of the pleasures of life if we are going to retake our country. Back in the thirties (I think, maybe a little earlier) there was a communist/socialist named Sol...

HELENA—Winter is the best time to test your home for radon according to Paul Tschida, radon specialist for the Montana Department of Environmental Quality’s Radon Control Program. “Testing for radon when your doors and windows are closed typically provides the best results to determine ‘worst-case’ radon levels in your home,” said Tschida. “That’s why January is National Radon Action Month, during which the program encourages testing.” If test results are elevated, mitigation is recommended. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas t...

The Roundup Panthers started their Covid season at home against Columbus Friday, January 8 and then traveled to Malta on Saturday, January 9. This year's Panther team is a very young team with a lot of promise. Young teams have to learn how to play with varsity intensity mentally and physically for 32 minutes. 2021 Panthers will be a team to be reckoned with once they get a handle of varsity action. Friday, the Panthers got off to a rough start and spotted the Cougars a big lead. Throughout the...
Winnett, Mont. –– The Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) recently issued a new load posting for the MacDonald Creek Bridge in Winnett, in Petroleum County. The posting is part of a multi-year effort to update load ratings and postings on Montana bridges as mandated by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The FHWA mandate is in response to changes in the trucking industry over the last decade.
