Cory Canfield moved with his family to Roundup two years ago, this July 1st to start the Roundup Collision Center. His timing was impeccable, as it was right after the massive hail storm in Roundup. He came a few weekends before with his daughter Ivy, to work on windshields. Not without difficulty, in the midst of moving here, coming down on the weekends to start business, his internet and business phone wasn't yet connected and his cell phone crashed. All his bids had to be hand written. The...
Thank you to 1st Security Bank for their $800 and the Roundup Record Tribune for their $500 donations for our Main Street Flag Project. The Roundup Chamber of Commerce and these donating members were so enthusiastic about the flags; they want to fund additional flags to continue up Main Street. We will order additional flags as soon as we find better quality holders. The Committee is in the process of replacing the flag "holders" as they have been consistently breaking. (Not the quality as...

4 This began as a pretty great year for me. I was having a lot of trouble reading, especially Hebrew and Greek which use dots as vowels. I had to squint a lot and could only read for about 15 minutes. So, in early March I had those cataracts removed and could read for as long as I wanted. Even see all the tiny dots for vowels!! Then, without warning, in late March, I was hit with a severe back pain that has incapacitated me for 3 months now. It is gradually subsiding, but how long O Lord? Anyway, what has that to do with 2020? I didn’t know...
Margaret Thatcher's quote on ....Consensus. "The process of abandoning all beliefs ,principles,values,and policies in search of something in which no one believes,but to which no one objects;the process of avoiding the very issues that have to be solved,merely because you cannot get agreement on the way ahead.What great cause would have been fought and won under this banner,"...."I stand for consensu." In other words,stop allowing others to guide you in life,stop allowing a political virus to install fear in your daily activities and stop...
By Michael Vondra Work to Achieve Your Financial Independence Over the past few months, just about everyone has felt the loss of some type of freedom, whether it’s being able to travel, engage in social gatherings or participate in other activities we previously took for granted. Still, as we prepare to observe Independence Day, it’s comforting to realize all the freedoms we still have in this country. And taking the right steps can also help you achieve your financial independence. Here are some moves to consider: • Build an emergency fund....
The CSKT Compact that was approved by the 2015 Mt Legislature has become the most divisive issue that I have seen in my six decades of involvement. A Hearing was held by the US Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on S 3019, CSKT on 6-24-20. Well, it was more of a sales pitch than a hearing, as no opposing views were allowed. The 1400 page bill violates Mt’s Constitution and infringes on Water and Property Rights. Senator Daines, the prime sponsor, has been unwilling to host any public hearings in Montana so the people could weigh in. M...
By Peter J. Pitts As the COVID-19 pandemic rages on, all eyes are on the United States for smart strategies, treatments and a cure. The good news: Our biopharmaceutical companies have been working around the clock to deliver help as quickly as possible. Yet, some lawmakers are pushing for a bill that could stifle the desire to invest in lifesaving innovation. Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA) have been racing to pass their sweeping Prescription Drug Pricing Reduction Act. The measure would effectively impose price controls...
In the first American Revolution Americans roughly divided in three equal groups, Loyalists favored England, Patriots the Colonists, and another third too apathetic to help either side. The Patriots won because the apathetic third would not stand with the Loyalist but also would not support them. In that revolution the enemy, England, was largely overseas. As a young man I wondered which side I’d have supported as a colonist in 1776. Would I have been at Valley Forge with George Washington during the devastatingly cold winter of 1777? Would I...
As the country celebrates its birth as a nation, one of the most patriotic things Montanans can do is stand up and be counted--in the 2020 Census. Or, more accurately, go online and be counted. Or mail in the census form. Or chat with a census worker. Every 10 years, the country counts how many people live in the United States of America. The stakes are large. Results of the census determine how much money Montana gets from the federal government. That’s about $2 billion a year now. The equation is simple. The more people counted by the c...

HELENA, MT—In April, Montana State Fund (MSF), the state’s largest workers’ compensation insurance company, announced a program to allow policyholders impacted by COVID-19 the flexibility to defer premium payments on their workers’ compensation insurance without cancellation of their policy. On Tuesday, MSF announced an extension of the deferral through September 30, 2020. No policy cancellations will occur during this period unless requested by the policyholder. The intent of the deferral is to give Montana businesses the flexibility to fit...
Cleanse the toxins out of your body with the help of fresh vegetables. Cabbage, broccoli, and brussels sprouts are a few of nature’s detoxifiers. You can add variety to your garden and diet by including green, red or Savoy cabbage. It’s fun and easy to grow in the garden or a container and can be used in a variety of healthful dishes. There is still time to add cabbage to your garden. Cabbage grows best in cooler temperatures. Those in the northern half of the country can plant seeds directly in the garden in early July for a fall harvest. Tho...
(Helena, Mont.)—At a hearing this afternoon Senator Steve Daines presented his Montana Water Rights Protection Act to the members of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee. The legislation, which is co-sponsored by Senator Jon Tester, will define the federally reserved water rights of the Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes and settle the legal claims of the Tribes against the federal government. The Montana Water Rights Protection Act marks a historic move towards settling the century-long dispute by providing protections for existing water use...
BOISE, ID – The arrival of vacation season and increasing wildfire activity with hot, dry summer weather in the West is prompting the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to ask the public to help prevent wildland fires, the majority of which are caused by people. The Southwest and Alaska are currently experiencing fire activity, with numerous large wildfires occurring, and other states may experience significant wildfire activity over the next few months. “Every year, human-caused wildfires comprise approximately 87 percent of all wildfire ign...

Discussing these gentlemen in chronological order gives some important snapshots of the tribe beginning with a little before their occupation of the Reservation we know until the present day. The first of these, remembered in Jane's recent painting done for this article, is Plenty-Coups, whose name all of us have seen on road signs around Billings, but what have we learned about this remarkable leader of the Mountain Crow and one of the worthiest Native Americans in the annals of the United...
