Since September of 1985, for thirty-five years, the Lazy JC Hardware store in Melstone has been in continuous ownership by the Coles family. This September is the End of an Era. The small-town store has been sold, and the new owner will be changing the name to The Melstone Mercantile. When Ben and Anne Coles bought the antique hardware store in 1985, the young couple already had six children ages 13 to 3, in tow. They pulled into the yard the last day of that September, and took over the store...

Dear Editor, First, I wish to thank you for the series of articles on County government. It’s informative to read the spectrum of events, perspectives, and opinions. It seems to me that from the time we moved here, 2002, there frequently has been confusion about what, in most places, is a simple process, county government. A mystery early in our experience, as I recall, was the disappearance of a quarter of a million dollars reserved for a truck of some sort, and no one had a clue about the fate of that fortune; POOF! It’s gone! Wonder whe...

So many politicians go to Washington and are happy to go along to get along—as long as they can continue to cash in at the taxpayer’s expense. That is not Matt Rosendale. You see, Matt is a businessman, not a career politician. That’s why as state auditor, he cut the operating expenses of his own agency by 23%, and refused a taxpayer-funded pay raise every single year. Matt Rosendale believes in the founders’ vision of citizen service, that’s why he wants to send career politicians packing by instituting term limits for members of Congress....
The Montana Contractors’ Association has announced it is adamantly opposed to Initiative 190, the legalization of recreational marijuana. “Contractors preach safety in every aspect of our work,” said MCA President Bob Warren. “The results that have played out in other states clearly show that safety and work ethic are compromised. We won’t stand for that.” Warren cites data from Smart Approaches to Marijuana: • A 2014 survey showed that 10% of Americans admit to having gone to work stoned. • Marijuana users have significantly lower levels of...
Not today for me. I’ve been feeling and seeing this as stated below for quite some time. Today I woke up and realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives are never going to be the same. I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life so filled with hate that they will agree with opinions that if they were in their right minds they would never express as their own. It's absolutely u...
Constitution Day, September 17, the day Americans celebrate the signing of the Constitution which was then sent to the states for ratification, is almost here. The numerous attacks on it, it’s founders, and the anarchy in our big cities today should give us cause to reflect upon what a gift it was/is to mankind. For nearly six thousand years of recorded history governments best described as regimental in nature have dominated man. Only for a few fleeting moments in the past has individual man had anything to say concerning the restrictions p...
