    Aug 19, 2020

    We, Bryan Adolph, Mike Kilby, Larry Lekse and Sue Olson, former commissioners have read Adam Carlson’s articles and take issue with many of the things he has said. He does not seem to have a clear understanding of the role of the employees and the duties and responsibilities of the county commissioners. Mr. Carlson is wrong on almost every point in his opinion article that we must respond and correct the record. The past commissioners and Amy Angel worked together for many years trying to be fiscally responsible to the taxpayers of M...

We and the past commissioners worked hard to ensure that we never raised any unnecessary taxes or spent on unnecessary expenses. The article states that A...

    I would like to add the rest of the story to what Adam Carlson wrote about me when I attended the Republican Central Committee meeting. When asked how each of us would fund county roads Mr. Carlson was correct when I said the commissioners could raise the mills and I also said this would take a vote of the people who live out side the city of Roundup and the town of Melstone. This had been tried once and the voters had said no to the increase. I also said the County has almost 1 million dollars in cash in Federal Mineral Leasing revenue. This...

  • Extreme Kathleen's agenda of job loss and stagnation

    Aug 19, 2020

    As our economy begins to recover from the devastation caused by COVID-19, it is more important than ever that our lone representative in Congress be someone that stands for policies that will grow our economy and create jobs.

Matt Rosendale has a strong business background and a proven record of supporting pro-business policies as State Auditor and a member of the legislature. From providing tax relief, to rolling b...

  • Tomato Troubles

    Melinda Myers|Aug 19, 2020

    You waited all season for that first red ripe tomato only to discover less-than-perfect fruit. Don't worry, you can still have a great harvest and improve things for next season. Blossom end rot is a common problem on the first set of fruit. The bottom of the tomato turns black. This is not caused by a disease but is the result of a calcium deficiency in the developing fruit. This deficiency is usually caused by fluctuations in water uptake by the plant. Fluctuating soil moisture, damage to the roots, excessive nitrogen fertilizer and high...
