U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said in an interview Sunday he wants to work on what he called problems in the Farm Bill Congress is considering now, such as its focus on providing more food stamps rather than what can be done about opening access for farmers who are free traders. "So it's really not a Farm Bill, it's a Food Stamp bill, predominantly," Paul said. Paul spoke at a Republican rally at the Duck Inn Vineyard Room for Senate candidate Montana Auditor Republican Matt...

As a former sheriff and the mayor of a Montana town near our northern border, border security has always been in the forefront for me. It takes resources to keep Montanans safe, combat drug trafficking and secure the border and local government can’t do it alone. We need a partner at the federal level who is willing to fight to get us the resources we need to secure our border and keep our state safe. I’m glad to say that Sen. Jon Tester has been that partner. Jon has always been willing to listen to our concerns and tak...
As the Nov. 6 election nears and we watch the political process unfold, none of us are surprised by the steady onslaught of attack ads. However I was surprised and very disappointed by the recent mailers attacking Russ Tempel. The attacks on Russ are simply not true. Saying that Russ “just doesn’t care” could not be farther from the truth and shows how desperate Russ Tempel’s attackers are to find something negative on a fine longstanding public servant. I served with Russ in the last legislative session, as well as serving c...
In the past couple weeks, I have attended a Land Owners Mineral Association meeting, The Milk River diversion project meeting, addressed history and government classes and took in the Triangle Telephone Cooperative annual meeting. These groups all have their individual issues, be it cost of education, cell tower location costs, replacing structure costs or pipeline ownership costs. It seems they all have a common issue, funding. During this same time, I attended three celebrations of life. This whole mix makes one weigh in on...
Editor, I grew up in eastern Montana, swimming in the Missouri River and Fort Peck Reservoir. Water was, and is, a significant part of life for me. I feel very fortunate to have been able to stay in Montana throughout my life; and clean water is something we sometimes take for granted in rural places such as this. My husband and I are raising our children in Montana for many reasons, and clean water is one of them. Now living in western Montana, every summer, we’re out on the rivers and lakes near our home and the kids are p...

The Chinook Sugarbeeters didn't lose a single match during the District 6C East regular season. At times, they even made it look easy. Winning the 6C East championship, though, that was hard. Yet the Beeters did exactly that last week in Gildford. Chinook survived an early close call against Chester-Joplin-Inverness, and beat North Star in two of three epic matches to claim their fifth district title in the last six seasons. Meanwhile, the Knights, who won the title in 2017,...
The game of the year in the Frontier Conference turned out to be not much of a game at all. Last Saturday, Rocky Mountain College blitzed UM-Western 43-14, meaning the Battlin’ Bears are now in the driver’s seat for the Frontier Conference championship. Of course, nothing is done yet, and with the way this Frontier season has gone, who knows what’s going to happen in the final two weeks. But RMC, for all its ups and downs this season, is now in the best position to claim...
