There is growing concern about driving under the influence of cannabis (DUIC), especially as more states consider changing laws regarding cannabis possession and use. A key question regarding the legalization of cannabis for recreational or medical purposes is its potential impact on public health issues. Specifically, there is considerable uncertainty and debate about the impact of cannabis and its legalization on traffic safety. Among the general population, one study indicated that 36 percent of the population perceive no risk associated...

One of the givens of human life is change. We experience it from the very beginning of life, at conception in our mother's womb. It never ceases, we keep changing, and we see it in everything around us. When someone asks me, "How is everything in Musselshell?" I often answer, "Same as always." Then I realize I have just told a lie. I don't make a list of changes, so they are not on the tip of my tongue, but change is always taking place. I know of one exception to this, and that is God. We are told in scripture that He never changes. Hebrew...
I just love it when my Heavenly Father chooses to surprise me! He did that last week when I had a couple of errands to run in Roundup. I needed to go the bank and post office and decided to go on Friday to miss the week-end crowds. As I drove into town on Friday afternoon, there was a big commotion down by the IGA store so I pulled over near the curb by the courthouse. First thought that came to mind was an accident as there was police presence and lots of people gathered. As I looked further, I saw a PARADE with floats, police protection, the...
I have been sprinkling Hollyhock seeds along pur walking trails in batr dots that the lawn mowers do not go. Hopefully,these will attract Butterflies,Hummingbirds and Bees next year. We need to get together a work team to clean up these trails as they have been neglected. Right now,they are a embarrassment and a mess ! We have very little in this town as entertainment so it would be worthwhile to care for what we have. Nancy Kemler Roundup In the paper of 9/11/2019 there were a couple of great columns both with the gospel as the subject. The...
It doesn't seem possible that 2020 is just around the corner. "What is the problem with that?", you might ask. Well just when you thought the sage grouse would follow the spotted owl into oblivion, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) plans to review the sage grouse status in 2020 to determine whether it should be listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). I just heard on the Montana radio news the Montana Sage Grouse group will shortly present an update on the status of sage grouse in Montana to the legislature. According to the...
Rural Montana is facing some pressing challenges. We must provide quality medical care for an aging population, so our seniors can enjoy healthy, vibrant lives in the communities they’ve always called home. And we need to create more jobs for the next generation of rural Montanans so they have the opportunity to live in our great state. These two objectives both require enhancements to our health care system, but we need to implement these enhancements in a way that will not jeopardize access to healthcare for people who live and work in r...
Across Montana, thousands of students are headed back to school to begin a new year of learning and growth. Unfortunately, many students in rural Montana remain at risk of falling behind due to the lack of broadband access in their communities. Broadband internet has become indispensable both in the classroom and at home for students to become prepared to compete in the 21st Century economy and complete and submit their assignments. A top priority of the Montana Rural Education Association is to ensure our rural schools and communities are in...

I attended a city council meeting last week where about 20 concerned citizens were present. The main topic of discussion was Roundup’s water and what is being done to improve the quality. Below and over the weeks to come this newspaper will cover this topic, beginning with the origins of the Central Montana Regional Water Authority (CMRWA). The information was pulled from the CMRWA website. The Publisher History The Central Montana Regional Authority (CMRWA) was officially organized in September 2004, but it was actually a project that was c...
Our previous CMR Community Working Group meeting told the collaborative and compelling story surrounding the response to the Lodgepole Complex fires of 2017. This story exemplifies the efforts of everyone who calls this region their home, the land where they have lived and worked sometimes for generations. There are many more stories just like this one waiting to be told by every member of this proud community. On October 1st the Charles M. Russel Community Working Group is holding a meeting and workshop hosted by MSU Professor Suzi Taylor on...
The past is no longer prologue on many campuses. The American Council of Trustees and Alumni — a nonprofit that supports an increase of college-level civic education — has released a new survey to support that idea. It reveals the “alarming” things that supposedly well-educated millennials actually believe, primarily due to faulty academics. The new poll of 1,002 college graduates finds that 26% of them say Brett M. Kavanaugh is the chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, while 14% of respondents selected Antonin Scalia, who died in 2016. F...

Tucker Homestead There is little pictorial evidence to display this week, because traces of the two homesteads have all but vanished, but the stories are interesting and enlightening, and we feel close to them, because we are physically near them; both intersected our little corner of Musselshell County. From Ohio, William Tucker was awarded his first homestead in South Dakota, but when minerals were discovered on it, the government promptly reneged, confiscated it, and sent the Tuckers packing....
From MSU News Service BOZEMAN — A continuously growing student program in Montana State University’s College of Agriculture is seeking donations of steers, feed or financial support for the 2019-20 academic year.

(Lewistown, MT) – Montana State Parks (stateparks.mt.gov) is moving forward with the installation of eight new campsites to the existing campground at Ackley Lake State Park. The project will also include the installation of fire rings and picnic tables for each site. The additional sites will provide increased opportunity for overnight camping at the park. During the peak season, the campground frequently exceeds capacity forcing visitors into overflow camping without fire rings or picnic tables. The campground expansion is made possible t...
