  • Statement From Nicole Borner

    Oct 7, 2020

    I learned last Wednesday my opponent opted to back out of the debate scheduled for last Friday night, claiming a conspiracy existed that would somehow make the debate unfair. I am disheartened by this attack upon the credibility of the citizens who volunteered their time to help organize the event. Despite deliberate lies, innuendos and attacks on my character and integrity, I have refused to engage in the petty politics and character assassination that has been regularly implemented by my opponent’s camp. Instead, I have done what you e...

  • Letters to the Editor

    Oct 7, 2020

    Dear Robert Pancratz, I was disappointed that you chose to forfeit the commissioner debate. I had been looking forward to hearing you, and I was open to voting for you in the coming election. I hoped you might be a good addition to the commissioner panel. Cancelling on the debate tells me more about you than perhaps I would have learned from you in person at the debate. How can we expect you to represent us if you can be so easily swayed to step out of a debate? Now more than ever, we need a commissioner who will stand up to scrutiny. We need...

"After careful consideration and counsel from individuals whose judgment I respect, unfortunately I must decline participating in the upcoming debate. I believe the debate was set up with the best of intentions, and I have no reason to question the integrity of the committee members preparing the questions. However, I still have concerns that the event may not be structured to be fair...

  • 2020 Flu Season: Two Reasons to get Vaccinated

    Oct 7, 2020

    If an apple a day can keep the doctor away, what will a flu vaccine get you? The answer may be better health today and improved odds of maintaining your brain power in the future. The risks posed by the flu are pretty self-evident for older adults. Last year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that 35.5 million people in the U.S. contracted the flu, resulting in 34,200 deaths. Of those fatalities, about 75% were among people over age 65. While we’re waiting on the COVID-19 vaccine… And the ongoing COVID-19 pan...

  • FWP Seeking Comment on Proposed Musselshell River Rehabilitation WorkFeedback Fish & Wildlife - Region 5

    Oct 7, 2020

    BILLINGS – Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is asking for public comment on a proposal to reconnect a channel of the Musselshell River southwest of Melstone that was cut off by flooding. Flood waters broke through the riverbank in 2018 and cut off the 1.5-mile loop in the river, leaving irrigation systems and homes without water and drying up wildlife habitat. The proposed work would add rock and vegetation to the breeched riverbank to divert water back into the channel, lengthening the river by more than a mile and decreasing the speed and s...

    Oct 7, 2020

    Citizens of Musselshell County As many of you know- there was supposed to be a County Commissioner candidate debate last Friday. Mr Pancratz took advise from someone and backed out, so the debate was cancelled. I was looking forward to hearing both Mr Pancratz and Ms Borner speak and debate. I did read Mr Pancratz’s article on the front page of the RRT. Since I don’t know him otherwise- I have not formed any opinion- good or bad about him. I can say, however, if he wins the election- the list of community concerns he mentioned in the beg...

    Dave Ponte|Oct 7, 2020

    Question: What is your plan for Musselshell County? My plan is a strong resilient future for Musselshell County. We are a historic boom-bust coal and agricultural community. I work to make sure we are expanding our tax base, so I focus on one of the fundamentals of economic development; beautification and livability. The basis of economic development is to attract entrepreneurs who want to build their business here, parents who want to raise their children in a safe community and people who want to retire and enjoy the small town life. Again,...
