Some of our readers have likely already noticed that there has not been a VanDykes sales flyer in every weekly issue like there normally is. I spoke to Jerry Rangitsch, manager at VanDykes grocery. He explained that the corporate board is pairing down the printed sales flyer. They are doing three weekly sales flyers a month, of which one will be a two week flyer. While this is inconvenient for many of our readers, the store is offering the ads online, and they can be found at...
Due to much controversy over the interest of local water in last weeks publication, many locals have sought to do something to help the situation and to take action on behalf of Gebhardt's and the community good. One such person is Karen Varney. Karen sought out the DEQ independently as a water hauler from the water source, and is happy to share with the community the positive response.

On January 31, 2022 I had a meeting with county commissioners regarding dumping and hoarding in Roundup and county. Many locals beside myself have voiced concerns over dumping, debris and filth littering our community. This does not include local businesses that must have a large inventory or large equipment stored on their business premises. Our local small business owners do a fantastic job keeping their area neat and tidy. They have community pride. The state of Montana does have laws against hoarders and dumping. One law is called The...
Biden’s record the past year has been that of total failure. In mere weeks we went from energy independence and an energy exporter to energy dependence on others. With 9.6% inflation in 11 months, Americans lost 10% of the value of their money and inflation is now at a 40 year high. It is increasingly difficult to avoid the thought that the Democrats seek to destroy the economy and bring us into the Great Reset and world government. Our supply chain is falling apart and empty shelves prove it. Odds are, even the most incompetent person in g...

Property owners have several decisions to make when it comes to estate planning, and one of those is whether to give property to heirs before or after death. Montana State University Extension has released a new MontGuide that gives information on how to approach that choice. According to university educators across Montana, it is important to consider the income tax consequences of the timing of gifts to family members because the state eliminated the state inheritance tax in 2001. Now the federal estate tax only impacts individuals with estat...

Governor Greg Gianforte today visited Diehl Ranch Co. in East Helena to discuss the impact of pro-growth, pro-jobs policies on the state's agriculture industry. "For too long, Montana producers have had to pay taxes on equipment that sits around for most of the year, and it just doesn't make any sense," Gov. Gianforte said. "To protect the bottom lines of our hardworking ag families, we tripled the business equipment tax exemption, allowing producers to grow their operations and create more good-paying Montana jobs." After hearing from...
