Each booth along the wall had a device mounted just above the booth table, allowing you to... Full story

  • I Need To Write About This

    Sandy Laumeyer, Just A Thought|Feb 26, 2014

    As I was thinking about my column for this week, I decided that there have been some things happen lately that need to be written about. So here goes. The past few weeks, I’ve attended and taken part in several fundraisers to help local residents. Each time I was amazed and overwhelmed by the generosity that was shown. Once again, I’ve witnessed how Montanans come together when there is a great need. I was reminded of the time when I was in England and asked what size of town I live in. My reply was that I don’t feel I live in a town --...

Please indulge me as I attempt to address an issue of local, state and debatably national interest as briefly and clearly as possible. According to the Montana State Constitution, Article XI, Section 9, the legislature requires an election in each local government every 10 years to review its structure and submit...

  • Montana Needs More High-Paying Jobs

    Steve Daines--U.S. Representative, Political Opinion|Feb 26, 2014

    At RightNow Technologies, I helped grow a small software startup into Bozeman’s largest commercial employer, creating hundreds of high-paying Montana jobs along the way.  And after spending 28 years in business, I’ve come to know that there are a few principles that are essential for any small Montana business. Hard work and accountability are critical to success. To make a profit and balance a budget, you can’t spend more than you take in. And if you don’t do your job, you don’t get paid.  These common sense principles are sorely...

  • A Little Short

    Quinn Robinson, The Courier|Feb 26, 2014

    Districts are over and both Glasgow teams are still standing. On the boys side, many didn't get the end result that they wanted, a District championship, but all is well, especially since Divisonals start at Glasgow High School on Thursday. "We can't ask for anything more," said Glasgow boys head coach Norm Braaten. "We have our own beds, our own food, a good draw." Don't forget the Scottie faithful. Earlier in the week, word started making its way around time encouraging Scottie fans to show...
