    Lura Pitman|Feb 2, 2022

    Everyone from Roundup and the surrounding area understands the value of water. This is the life long struggle of local residents.

This all changed when Kelly received a call from the DEQ (Department of Environmental Quality). The caller inquired if Kelly offered his water for public use, and if so, was...

  • Letters to the Editor

    Feb 2, 2022

Our sons and daughters who wear U.S. military uniforms need not die for this BS!!

  • Democrats' Federal Election Takeover Bill Undermines What Montanans Want

    Feb 2, 2022

    If there’s one thing Montanans are about, it’s common sense. We work hard, play by the rules and don’t like when Washington elites impose laws that go against what works for Montana. That’s why I fought against President Biden and the Democrats’ attempt to pass their partisan bill to enact a federal takeover of elections every step of the way—because what they were trying to do didn’t make sense, and it’s not what Montanans wanted. In Montana, thanks to the leadership of Governor Greg Gianforte and Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen, the M...

  • Roundup Panthers

    Rick Griffith|Feb 2, 2022

    Friday evening (1/28) the Panthers hosted Huntley in a 4B District contest. The Red Devils jumped out to an early and big lead as they shot 63% from the field. The Panthers didn’t do a very good job of getting back in transition and allowed Huntley to get to the rim quite often. Late in the quarter Braedan, AJ, and Kylen strung together some made buckets and cut into the deficit to make the score 30-15. The Panthers didn’t shoot the ball very well all game but their defense improved mightily as they held Huntley to 23 points for the rest of...
