We Are Not Your Enemy Dear Editor, Public officials talking about hiring hitmen to take out the publisher and reporter of a newspaper seems like something from a tense, blockbuster thriller rather than reality. Yet, in rural Oklahoma, the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) is currently investigating such a discussion. The McCurtain County Gazette is like most small-town newspapers. It’s family owned and operated, doesn’t have a website or digital version of its newspaper and stands as watchdog for the community. This responsibility, it see... Full story
The Valley County Commissioners had set a meeting date of May 5 to discuss personnel issues of the Valley County Road Supervisor Todd Young. Young had been placed on paid administrative leave since the Commissioners voted on March 31 to place him on leave while an allegation, that if substantiated, could implicate a violation of the county personnel policy, was investigated.

I am wondering if my great-grandchildren will see the day that these filling...

I’m pretty sure I don’t possess the power to jinx all of northeastern Montana. If I had power over the weather, I’m sure I’d have been misusing it. A lot has been accomplished up here at Honrud, Montana, since last I wrote. The garden space has been tilled. Does anything smell as nice as freshly turned soil? Okay, maybe the air after a nice rain does. The drip system is staked in place s...
