Editor, This upcoming election is very important! Ladies do you really want to lose your right to privacy, health care and potentially contraceptives? Do you really want ultra-conservative white republican men controlling you? People do we really want to end our right to same-sex marriages? Almost everyone knows someone or has a family member who is gay. Let’s not take a step backwards. Ranchers do you want rich people from Bozeman and out-of-staters to continue buying up your ranches and turning them into boutique ranches? T...
Dear Reader, It may be just me, or might you also agree that large swathes of the Republican party appear to have given up on democracy — especially so when elections don’t go their way! And surely this is dangerous to our Republic! Is it just me, or would you also agree that Donald Trump and his allies apparently believe the ends justify the means no matter what? On January 6th, our country witnessed the last of Trump’s illegal attempts to steal the 2020 election. As the January 6th Committee has shown when Trump’s previou...
Editor, I would like to address the city officials about the deer “problem” solutions you have suggested. I quote “problem” because it is not a problem for me personally. I enjoy seeing nature and I enjoy sharing my space with them. I strongly feel this is not just a planet for humans. If the deer bother me, I should move to the big city. I am not interested in doing that. I am not sure what kind of problems others are having with them, but if they are in areas that they “really need” to stay out of then I am sure there...
It was a sad day in early July when we laid my District 14 predecessor, Kris Hansen, to rest. Kris was a mentor who was not afraid to let, not only myself know her thoughts, but anyone willing to listen. Kris lived a lot of life in her 52 years, which was very evident at the funeral where friends told quips of her life. She was a very proud veteran and active Christian; her steadfast wisdom will be missed. July has been very hot and dry for the most part. Having driven around my district from west to east and north to south,...
I’m not a millionaire and neither are 95% of Montanans. My campaign isn’t funded by millionaires, but instead, our contributions have come from hardworking Montanans who are putting their money on the line to create real change in our state. I’m proud to say the majority of our donations are small dollar donations. For example, between July 20th and July 26th, 2022, our average individual donation was $64.19. I believe in campaign finance reform and believe most Montanans and most Americans do also. I believe most people are,...

The last line of defense. That would be the secondary of any college football team. And not only is the secondary a last line of defense, it’s also perhaps the hardest position to recruit to, at any level of football. Still, there will also ways be good cornerbacks and safeties in the Frontier Conference, and the fall of 2022 will be no exception. At Montana Western, Latrell McCutcheon returns as one of the top defensive backs in the league. An All-Conference pick a year a...
The Montana State University-Northern volleyball team is set to begin preparing for the 2022 season later this week. But, head coach Jerry Wagner is still adding to the roster as well. Wagner announced the signing of Billings Senior High School standout D'Lorah Cedillo to join the Skylights program next year. “When I first saw D'Lorah playing club volleyball this spring, I witnessed a player that was athletic, well skilled and hardworking,” Coach Wagner said. “What intri...

And with plenty of tournaments, league playoffs and high school and college golf, August is a very busy month. On the tournament front, this weekend, the annual Duel on the Prairie Member/Guest will be held at Prairie Farms Golf Course, and there are still a few slots available. Meanwhile, the Frank Henry Memorial will be pla...
