Roundup, Montana – Roundup Memorial Healthcare will sponsor a Health Fair on September 14, 2019 at Roundup City Park. Free laboratory screening tests will be offered at the Health Fair from 10am until 1pm. A significant feature of this year’s laboratory screening choices is providing glycohemoglobin (Hemoglobin A1c) FREE OF CHARGE. Most health fairs nationwide apply fees for Glycohemoglobin testing because of its “higher-than-average” test cost! Screening tests provided at the Health Fair will be: Total Cholesterol, Glucose, and Glycohe...
One of the most recognizable voices in country music is coming back to Roundup on August 11th at 6pm at the Outdoor Stage in City Park. Lacy J. Dalton has a special fondness for Montana and Roundup in particular. “Every time I have been here, it’s rained, and I’m going to do a whole show this time, that’s for sure”, she told the guys at 99.9 fm in Roundup recently. “I love Roundup. The people have been so good to me and Dale Poune, and we can’t wait to get back”. Lacy J. has had many hits over...
Signup opens today for the Market Facilitation Program (MFP), a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) program to assist farmers who continue to suffer from damages because of unjustified trade retaliation from foreign nations.

MFP payments will be made to producers of certain non-specialty and specialty crops as well as dairy and hog producers....

A good portion of our state’s history is recorded in the homesteads, ranch and farm buildings raised on the blood, sweat, and tears of early residents. When artist, Jane Stanfel, moved to the Roundup area in 2002, she noticed quickly that this tablet is being erased by weather, fire, neglect, and later development. Just as swiftly she resolved to do her part for preservation and commenced what she titled her Ghost Ranch series of oil paintings of homesteads, abandoned ranches, and the people and their work from those times. To accompany t...

The hysterical reaction by the left to the appointment of William Perry Pendley to serve as director of the BLM deserves a response. The chief accusation against Pendley is that he will sell federal public land to “special interest allies.” He can’t. The director of BLM has absolutely no authority to unilaterally sell the land under his jurisdiction. The Federal Land Policy Management Act of 1976 specifically prohibits the BLM from selling land, with very narrow exceptions. If William Perry Pendley wanted to sell BLM lands, it would liter...

Senate Majority Leader Fred Thomas (R-Stevensville) As the Districting and Apportionment Commission begins their work, I am encouraged by the leadership of the Commission’s presiding officer – Sheila Stearns. After speaking with her early on, I believe the Montana Supreme Court did a fine job in selecting her for this important role. The Commission’s work is more critical than ever. They will be tasked with drawing constitutional districts that are compact, contiguous, and as equal as practicable. In this spirit, Senate Republicans voted to su...
The “hook” of the story intrigued me: “This hasn’t happened in all of modern history...” An email from “The Crux” last month blared, “Global population growth to virtually stop by 2100.” According to a Pew Research Center analysis, “the world’s [human] population is expected to virtually stop growing by the end of this century, due in large part to falling global fertility rates.” This isn’t a new story (e.g., Ben J. Wattenberg’s 2005 book, Fewer), but it’s worth identifying the reasons for this momentous, unprecedented development. Pr...

The cool wet spring delayed planting, deck and patio installations and other outdoor projects. Fortunately, there is still time to complete much of your outdoor work. Many gardeners missed or limited spring planting due to the weather. You can still add vegetables to your garden, mixed borders and containers. Just check the seed packets for the number of days from planting to harvest. Then calculate the number of days left in the growing season and plant those veggies that have enough time to reach maturity before the first fall frost. Leaf...

Marshall Swearingen, MSU News Service BOZEMAN — When 7 miles of outdated guardrail are replaced along Highway 191 in Gallatin Canyon this summer, the system will meet the same safety standards as other new roadside barriers in Montana. What makes the $1.7 million project different is that Montana State University students produced the drawings and other specifications needed to make it a reality. In what's called the Design Unit at MSU, civil engineering undergraduates work alongside Montana Department of Transportation staff to get hands-on e...

By Jessica Chasmar - The Washington Times - Friday, August 2, 2019 A Manhattan art gallery owner said he suffered a broken cheekbone Tuesday after he was attacked by a group of teens because he was wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat. Jahangir Turan, the owner of the David Parker Gallery, told police that he was walking down Canal Street near Greene Street about 6:50 p.m. Tuesday when he came across a group of 15 to 18 people. Mr. Turan said he was wearing the pro-President Trump hat that he purchased at Trump Tower earlier that day. “One...
To begin, Hall was not the first landowner; it was a Mr. Tupper of Chicago, reportedly a Mafia figure seeking to elude the FBI. If this is true, he was successful, and, along with a ranch, he also managed to find a much younger bride, a local schoolteacher. Even today, standing on a wind-whipped hill in the midst of a summer day, one feels lonely out there – imagine a winter night! – and it's an unlikely place for a woman alone. Therefore, in 1938 the widow Tupper sold the ranch, and Cha...
By Jennifer Harper - The Washington Times - Saturday, August 3, 2019 Scientists from the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science predict that warmer winters in the Chesapeake Bay will likely lead to longer and more productive seasons for Maryland’s famous and beloved blue crabs. Winters will be up to 50% shorter by 2100, and overwinter survival of the blue crab will increase by at least 20% compared to current conditions. “Blue crabs are a climate change winner in the bay. As the bay gets warmer they will do better because the...
