  • The Past, Present, and Future of Musselshell Valley Equipment (MVE)

    Lura Pitman|Jan 22, 2020

    In 1946, Bill Funk's father Paul Funk began Roundup's Case Dealership, Musselshell Valley Equipment. Bill began working for his father as a young man in the dealership. For the first 20 years he worked in the shop doing repair under the direction of Tony Mang. Bill reminisced that he learned so much under the influence of Tony and others during his time doing mechanics. Bill took over the business and continues today, hopefully for many years to come, as Bill has no plans of retiring....

  • Pastor's Corner

    Jan 22, 2020

    The Great Exchange Life has its share of pitfalls and was it not for some of the warnings that exist, we would find ourselves in a lot more trouble. Flashing red lights, buzzers, signs, and people, to name a few. We often find warnings in the Bible. They are warnings sent by God through people that are called "prophets." Sometimes even God Himself intervenes in life situations to reveal a sign. Such is the case in Daniel, chapter 5. He manifested Himself at a big party in a palace in Babylon. He stretches His hand and writes a message to king...

  • Pastor's Corner

    Jan 22, 2020

    Are You Listening? I was brought up in church, but it was a church that did not believe that God spoke to people anymore. O, He spoke to the prophets, to Adam and Eve, to the disciples, but then the Bible was written so God had given us a love letter and didn’t need to speak to us anymore. When I first accepted Jesus into my life, I used to beg God to talk to me. But, I had been taught He wouldn’t. WRONG! God is speaking to us all the time – we just don’t listen! My words are based on John 10:3. Jesus, Who is God in the flesh, says “my she...

  • Our Socialist History of Collusion with Russia

    Harold Pease PhD|Jan 22, 2020

    Most understand that socialism conquered its first country, Russia, in 1917 under the leadership of Vladimir Lenin and has always been a revolutionary doctrine never content to allow any people to choose another way. Eighteen months later it was organized to do the same in America. Yes, colluding with Russia has been a part of our history for over 100 years but it has been the Socialists who colluded. We see three times in the 20th Century when its imprint was most evident: after World War I, after World War II and during theVietnam War. Space...

    A Montana Story"Hey teacher, where you going with those kids?" Those were the words yelled across the rippling waters of the Musselshell River in South Central Montana on a Spring Day in 1945, by a charismatic, young Air Force veteran, to an 18 year old angelic, blue-eyed blonde, as she led her students, lined up like ducklings behind her, on a field trip along the banks of the Musselshell. With those words, an epic, improbable-- and wholly Montana-- love story, began. A love story that came to...

    Melinda Myers|Jan 22, 2020

    It starts with one plant on a sunny windowsill then morphs into an impenetrable jungle. You may feel you need a machete to reach each individual plant to water and tend.

Group plants with similar light and watering needs to make maintenance easier for you and increase humidity levels – something tropical plants need to thrive. Set plants on attractive trays filled with pebbles to capture excess water. The pebbles elevate the containers a...

  • FWP Looks to Improve Customer Service with Two Changes to 2020 Licenses

    Jan 22, 2020

    Hunters and anglers can expect a few changes this year when they buy their 2020 licenses starting March 1. The most visible change Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks customers will see is a change to license paper. Starting this year, both licenses and carcass tags will be printed on normal-sized paper, and license buyers will be able to print them at home. For years, FWP licenses and tags have been produced on weather-resistant paper. However, this paper is not only expensive, but requires printing technology so outdated that it’s almost i...

  • Roundup Boys Basketball

    Rick Griffith|Jan 22, 2020

    The Panthers traveled to Forsyth last Thursday to challenge the Dogies in a non-conference game. Forsyth presents the same challenge we have faced most of the year and that is they had tremendous size. The one advantage the Panthers had was their depth and bench play. Both teams started the game slow offensively as the outside jumpers wouldn’t fall. The Panthers started in a man defense with an emphasis on keeping their big guards in front of them. The defense didn’t want their guards to get going downhill so to speak as they are difficult to...

However, we have been extremely gratified by the support we have received from grant awards and the community and former residents. We currently have funding in place for creation of the mold once Greg has completed the detail work and...

  • JOSEPHINE DOODY – THE CHEMICAL ENGINEER OF GLACIER NATIONAL PARK

    Jan 22, 2020

    Robin Hood is a legend; though people have repeated and invented tales of his exploits for centuries, there is no proof that the man existed. Josephine Doody is not a legend; though her original surname is unknown, her existence and death are documented, and her principal researcher has some confidence, not 100%, that he located her birth certificate. In 1988 John Fraley discovered her cabin, decaying in Glacier National Park, researched her as best he could, and distilled from his...
