  • Understanding Terrorism

    Tom Fidel, Lavina High School Class of 1988 When: Sunday, April 5, 2020, from 9 am to 1 pm Where: The Lavina School Gym Most of us believe that because we live in Montana we will never be involved in a terrorist incident. Yet less than 25 years ago, a major domestic terrorist event occurred right here in Musselshell County. Four members of an anti-government group called the Montana Freemen, armed with semi-automatic handguns and assault style rifles, approached the court house in Roundup. Subsequently, there was an 81-day standoff near Jordan...

  • Pastor's Corner

    Mar 4, 2020

    Another Miracle Sunday School is not nearly as novel as it once was. For many of us, it was our first glance into God's dealing with people in specific situations and showing His power and love for His followers, often through miracles. We learned stories that are the classics of scripture. Because we call them stories, some people have viewed them as a story in which could or could not be considered authentic. In some people's eyes, they became fictional stories, maybe with a spiritual application, but can not be factual. Efforts to rewrite...

Communist are good at sanitizing issues and situations. Look at Bernie Sanders who calls himself a “Socialist” instead of the Communist that he is. Nancy Kemler Roundup...

  • The Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame Debacle Continues

    Mar 4, 2020

    The MCHF Board has wasted nearly $1 million and no one has been held to account. The only way to resolve the malfeasance and waste is for a Reorganization of MCHF. For three years I have requested a Membership Meeting for that purpose, however the board will not allow that to happen. I was shocked as I attended the MCHF Annual Meeting, Feb 8th, to again request a Membership Meeting. The board was aware of my intentions, lo and behold, a fifteen minute business meeting was conducted, then it was abruptly adjourned. No Public Comment was...

  • Trump Trade Winning Streak a Huge Boost for Montana Ag

    Mar 4, 2020

    America is on a trade winning streak. Over the past five months, President Trump closed the deal on major trade agreements with our four largest trading partners – Canada, Mexico, Japan and China. These four countries alone make up half of America’s total trade, at nearly $2 trillion. Since last fall, I’ve had the privilege of standing with President Trump at the White House on three separate occasions to celebrate these historic trade victories. Through my membership on the U.S. Senate Finance Committee, which has jurisdiction over trade...

  • None Dare Call It Spying

    Mar 4, 2020

    By Commissioner Roger Koopman At our last work session, I was taken to the woodshed by my colleagues on the Public Service Commission. Yup. A good, old-fashioned tongue lashing – led by that paragon of professionalism, Randy Pinocci. Okay. I obviously had it coming. From Pinocci’s perspective, the extensive hacking of my PSC e-mail account, which led to 39 of my messages being dumped onto the internet, was entirely my fault. I had committed the ultimate sin. I was speaking and writing openly about the work of the Public Service Commission, hop...

  • Caucus States Inhibit "Drive by" Voting

    Harold Pease PhD|Mar 4, 2020

    Voters might be confused by the difference between a caucus and a primary, each state offering one or the other to find the right contenders for the general election in November. We treat both. In a caucus state such as Utah there is protection from the “drive-by” voter. Neighbors gather and select from themselves those who have earned their respect. These spend whatever time is necessary at candidate activities, visiting with candidates and reading their literature to decipher between the candidates before voting. Citizens accept that all vot...

  • Create Your Own Low Maintenance Relaxation Garden

    Melinda Myers|Mar 4, 2020

    Create an outdoor space to relax and recharge. Transform a corner of your landscape, deck or balcony into your own escape from everyday deadlines and stress. Use decorative fencing, sheer curtains or plantings to define the space and create a bit of privacy. An outdoor carpet, steppers or groundcover can also help define the space and create added comfort. Provide a bit of protection from the blazing hot sun with a shade tree, pergola, umbrella or retractable awning. Deciduous trees and vines add shade during hot summer months, but let the...

  • The Variable Fortunes of Ranching

    Larry and Jane Stanfel|Mar 4, 2020

    Do you know any cattle ranch tales that begin with a ship disaster? No? Just read on. When the gold rush was on, Alvin A. Ellis and his wife, Lynthia, traveled from Ohio to California to join in the search. Whether they struck it rich is not known, but their devious route back to Ohio made them passengers on a sidewheel steamer named the "Central America."
