George Barrett is no stranger to health struggles. He has been battling with continuous conditions since 1996 including cancer and strokes. Unexpectedly, he started having fainting spells five to six times a week. He worked with Brynn Bixby, PA-C at the Roundup Memorial Clinic to see if she had any thoughts. Brynn used her resources to refer George to the specialists. Trying whoever could get to the bottom of it. After no findings, Brynn took matters into her own hands. She decided to perform an ultrasound of his carotid artery in his neck....
Taking the Wheel of Change: December is Impaired Driving Prevention Month By: Angie Mozqueda Prevention Specialist for The Jody Alise Foundation and Youth C.A.R.E.S. As the sun sets over Montana's stunning landscapes, the roads become a canvas for both adventure and peril. Among the state’s youth, the thrill of independence often comes with a significant risk: impaired driving. In Montana, the statistics present a sobering reality. According to the Montana Department of Transportation, alcohol-related crashes are a leading cause of injury a...
The Below Letter to the Editor Describes Abuse of Power Against Montana Land Owner Dear Editor: Years ago, before most in this area understood who American Prairie Reserve (APR) was or what their nefarious goals were, APR was able to obtain a "Right of First Refusal" on a family ranch in southern Phillips County. Ranchers were suffering from low prices and drought and many were losing everything, and APR took advantage of that hardship. A Right of First Refusal (ROFR) gives the holder a right to match any legitimate offer should the owners...
The 4 December issue of RRT contained what I found dismal news about education in Montana; State Supt. Arntzen showed 44% of students proficient in reading and 39% in Mathematics! Good grief! (Does this explain why sometimes at IGA a clerk needs a calculator to compute the cost of two $0.98 bakery items?) In the same assessment framework that provided these test data, I wonder how Roundup fared and hope someone in our schools’ administration will put our town’s or county’s results in this column. It interested me that Supt. Arntzen’s response w...
Thanks so much for the explanation regarding the problem building, and I'm pleased to know there will be some external assistance with a civic improvement. What I still would like to know is just who were the visiting representatives of Kansas State University; were they undergraduate students? Other? What do they do/study there? Larry Stanfel-Roundup...
According to Chinese expert Gordon Change the drones flying over our country are too big and well organized not to be a foreign threat. He thinks that both Iran and China are involved in these drones flying over certain states. A Chinese national was caught flying a drone over a military base in California. This evil foreigner should be in a military prison not a civilian.And remember that China's Ki jingping allowed a deadly virus Wuhan flu [covid] past China's border to spread around the world.He flew a spy balloon across our country right...
A Series: Part 3 of 3: Navigating Freedom of Speech and Facebook’s Impact in Rural Montana Towns By: Angie Mozqueda Prevention Specialist Where do you draw the line between Freedom of speech and Freedom to harm? The distinction between freedom of speech, gossip, and truth often becomes obscured, creating a complex landscape for how residents view their neighbors, local law enforcement, and the information circulating within our community. This situation brings to light the ethical implications of rumor-mongering and the challenges it poses f...
By: Senator Greg Hertz In recent opinion pieces, Evan Barrett, a longtime Democratic consultant, and Mike Jopek, a former Democratic legislator, have repeatedly provided their "simple solution" to our high property taxes in Montana: just lower the residential property tax rate to 0.76%. If it truly was that simple, both Democrat and Republican legislators would have already done it. The reason it hasn't happened is because it wouldn't work like Barrett, Jopek, and others claim. Property tax rates don't work like income taxes or sales taxes. If...
Both the countries of Canada and Mexico have stopped being our allies a long time ago.They forgot how to be a good neighbor. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada and Clauia Sheinbaum the new President of Mexico have over the last 3 1/2 years at least 12 million unvetted illegal aliens to cross through their nations into our country via open border policy.President Donald Trump was elected almost 6 weeks ago and still no apology or regrets from either of these leaders to the American people. Instead after hearing of a 25% tariff imposed on...
I sure do miss the peace and quiet of our town Roundup.The old Roundup had mainstreet stores that closed at 5 pm and then opened at 7 pm for craft groups and quilting bees.It was obvious that Roundup was a ranching town and old vintage pickup trucks with horse trailers attached would do a slow cruise down main. Our small hamlet was casual and we liked it that way.Local kids could play running down side streets and main streets without the fear of being run over by a speeding driver. We had a brotherhood and looked out for one another back then....
By Tod Bowman Wind turbine blades play a crucial part in clean energy generation, but their disposal poses a growing challenge. Luckily, innovative solutions provide new ways to keep them out of landfills. As the wind industry grows, there is an increasing need for replacement of older wind turbine blades with larger, more efficient ones. With a lifespan of approximately 25 years, the sheer number of blades and other components that will eventually need to be decommissioned will strain current repurposing and recycling capabilities, leading to...
Submitted by: Youth C.A.R.E.S In today’s digital age, our phones keep us connected, but they also bring some serious challenges. While it’s awesome to chat with friends and share our lives, we’re also exposed to things like cyberbullying that can mess with our mental health. A lot of us deal with stress and anxiety from negative comments or online harassment, which can make us feel really alone. Parents can step up by making it easy to talk about these issues. If they encourage us to share our online experiences and feelings, it can help us fe...

I was interested to read in the 27 November issue that two "representatives" from Kansas State University were here to "present a plan" for one of Roundup's principal eyesores, where the quotes reflect the article's wording. Once having been offered a position on the K.S.U. faculty, I'm by no means averse to that institution, but with an M.S.U branch in Billings and M.S.U., U of Montana, and Montana Tech each a couple of hours away, I wonder why the town had to go so far afield for consultants, how much they cost, what are their credentials,...

This is the season to be grateful and to acknowledge our many blessings, even in the midst of extreme difficult times for so many of our neighbors and friends. Even our own circumstances may have brought us beneath what we think we can endure. During such times it is sometimes hard to find things to be grateful for or to find the hand of God in anything. Finding someone whose life circumstances are much worse sometimes helps a little. One such was Martin Rinckart. He authored the beloved Christian hymnal “Now Thank We All Our God” which has...

Trump warned October 16, 2016, of “A Struggle for the Survival of our Nation” and why he, you and I, had to be engaged or lose the Constitution and our freedom.

He just won his third election fighting to have the Establishment revealed so it could be then destroyed In 2020 the Deep State through election interference did take over America in a election Coup d’état. He told us this could happen and it did. This is part of his speech “Trump: The Establis...
