Almost one year ago to the day, I held an energy summit in Billings with over 600 Montanans talking about the future of Montana energy. Last week, I stood with President Trump, Vice President Pence, Energy Secretary Perry, Interior Secretary Zinke, EPA Administrator Pruitt as well as 20 coal miners to mark the start of a new era in energy production and job creation.

As Montana farmers, we grow a huge variety of food. Our counties differ vastly in size, climate and soil. But one thing is consistent for all producers: Not one of our 56 counties has ever regulated our seeds. So why does Senate Bill 155 exist? In 2013, Bayer and Monsanto presented draft legislation for politicians to chip away at local control of the seed market. They wanted to make sure that local farmers couldn’t stop them from developing test-plots and moving in next door. The bill language in SB 155 is nearly an exact c...
Editor, I am a resident in a nursing home in Eureka. I am very worried about my quality of care as the government wants to reduce our Medicaid for long-term care.

I only went on Medica...

Jennifer Durward, APRN, PMHNP-BC Northern Montana Medical Group-Specialty Medical Center When I chose to write this piece, I reflected upon my own childhood of having an older sibling with disabilities. Even though, she didn’t have autism, her disabilities influenced me as a sister, a daughter, as a mother, and today as a practitioner. We often read information on the perspective of the parent, the person with the disability, but not so much about the perspective of the sibling. At this very moment, I am sitting on my c...
