  • Musselshell Amateur Radio Club (KF7ELT)

    Lura Pitman|Feb 16, 2022

    For those of you who may have noticed the event in the paper last week for the meeting of the Musselshell Amateur radio club, you will have noticed that it is Ham Radio that the group is meeting about, not a radio group for the music you hear in your car. I wanted to know more about the club, and what they do. Having no understanding of this technology, but just curiosity, I met with the current organizer, Keith Regli. Keith maintains the website www.kf7elt.org, and writes the newsletters. Ham...

  • Beware of Fraud Calls "Spoofed" as Local Businesses

    Feb 16, 2022

    Despite continued investment and efforts to fight illegal robocalls plaguing telephone customers, Mid-Rivers has been informed of recent scam calls in the area targeting the customers of local Electric Cooperatives. These calls show up on your caller ID as the reputable local business name. Scammers are “spoofing” the caller ID (sending through fake caller ID names and/or numbers) to look like names you recognize, hoping to increase the chances of getting you to answer. Scammers may pretend to be your power company, phone or Internet pro...

  • Pastor's Corner

    Feb 16, 2022

    Freedom Most everyone is aware that there are people in Canada fighting for their freedoms. Truckers have taken center stage, taking a stand against the government's mandates that are not in the people's best interest. So now, thousands of Canadians are willing to stand up to their government officials. Many don't know that on January 8, 2022, a new law known as C-4 went into effect in Canada.

  • Letters to the Editor

    Feb 16, 2022

    Joe Biden is writing checks without checking our national budget. Apparently he sees no reason for a budget. After all, the Chinese have paid his bills and bought all his houses. He hasn't any worries. The sad thing is these checks are not made out to the American people. He just signed a $30 million dollar check in the name of "Equity" to help Crackheads buy pipes and crack and methamphetamine drugs. This is of course what the state of California has wanted all along. He also is releasing between 100,000 to 200,000 illegals who jumped our sout...
