Editor: I read the headline in your Feb. 9 paper. It read: "Rocky Boy embezzler trial scheduled in federal court." Then you go on to mention a person's name in connection to the trial date. It is apparent that you have judged this person named in connection to this trial date. It is apparent that you have judged this person to be an embezzler even before his trial. This seems to be a prejudicial statement that could sway opinion and the jury. You do not have all the facts, and I find this to be irresponsible and...

What does mental health mean? Is it merely the absence of mental illness or could it be suggestive of a deeper understanding of ourselves and the environments in which we live? Today, the concept of wellness is not just the absence of disease and infection but, according to the World Health Organization, is “the presence of physical, mental and social well-being.” If we examine the idea of mental health from this perspective, we, as a community and as a culture, are able to change the focus of mental health from not only the...

The Rocky Boy Morning Stars had their best regular season ever since joining the District 1B not long ago. And all signs pointed to the Morning Stars once again advancing to this week’s Northern B Divisional tournament in Malta. But for whatever reason, it wasn’t meant to be.
