A Dodson dog rescue is handling an influx of dogs from Fort Belknap Indian Reservation, but the rescue’s founder said it is dealing with an issue that shouldn’t exist. “Dog roundups are not the answer to a dog overpopulation,” founder of RezQ Dogs Anita Wilke said. “It’s not a dog population problem, it’s a people problem.” Recently, Fort Belknap’s tribal council announced tribal officials would be dealing with stray dogs on the reservation by, capturing or shooting them, Wilke said. She added that this will not solve th...

Editor, This is an open thank-you letter to President Donald J. Trump for being instrumental in bringing home the first 55 U.S. veterans’ remains from the Korean War. I pray that all others in North Korea will be ultimately returned. As a retired United States Army veteran, I salute you, sir, for accomplishing this feat and to do so within 18 short months, remarkable.

Montana’s Medicaid, which expanded under the ACA, allowed him to get health insurance for the first time. Without CHIP, I would have grown up without health insurance, too. I’m thankfu...
