Carter County High School defeated the Wildcats in Circle last Thursday to secure their spot in the Montana 8-Man football playoffs. The Bulldogs went fifty-two yards on 9 plays in the game’s opening drive for their first score. The score came on a short quarterback keeper up the middle by Turner Tooke. The ensuing conversion try failed. After a defensive stand, the Bulldogs had a holding call on their second possession that pinned them deep in their own territory, forcing them to punt the ball for the first time this s...

POEM: A clothesline was a news forecast to neighbors passing by. There were no secrets you c...
As we approach the election I have a question I would you all to think about and answer to YOURSELF. Whether you consider yourself to be a Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, or an Independent. Why are you? Is it because one or more of your parents were; friends, relatives, teachers, or your dog (the dog is probably correct, they are a pretty good judge of character). While many have already voted, those who haven’t — search your mind — it’s your vote that counts. Just because a candidate has a “D or an R or an L or an I” in f...

As the election draws nearer, I feel compelled to point out that Joe Biden’s 4 trillion dollar tax plan would raise taxes on all of our households both in life and at death, according to analysis by the Tax Policy Center. Biden has set his sights on all estates including businesses, farms, and ranches, but he is taking a different tack from merely raising rates on wealth transfer. He proposes to levy a tax on unrealized appreciation of assets passed on at death. “When someone dies and the asset transfers to an heir, that tran...
