After the Supreme Court overturned Roe vs Wade, Montana reverted to a “Right to Privacy” law which allows abortions for any reason up to viability, 24 to 28 weeks. So a child, who has its own separate DNA, its own blood, its own soul, is no longer safe in what should be the safest and most nurturing place, the womb. My daughter, pregnant with my 29 week grandson, entered the hospital in danger of an early birth. She was assured that he had a 95% chance of survival. At 29 weeks, he was just one week older than when he cou...
Upon an interesting read of last week’s Meet the Candidate article, I feel it is important to clarify a statement made by one of the candidates about the caseload in District Court here in Carter County as compared to Justice Court. While it was not an inaccurate statement, it could well be misconstrued. The term caseload is in reference to the number of filings per year which does not accurately reflect the workload. District Court is of greater jurisdiction and is the appellate court for Justice and City Courts. Its f...

While going through some old files recently, I came upon the following information. As you read it, remember the date and the amount. How many years ago? It doesn’t seem possible that the high school is that old; and what a bargain! I believe Jim Anderson was superintendent at the time and I was chairman of the board. The debt was to be paid in twenty years and each payment was for sixty-five thousand dollars. The following minutes are from the January 11, 1979 Carter County High School board meeting. “(THIRD MEETING) MINUTES...

Cowboy. Rancher. Pickup Man. Pilot. Sheepman. Neighbor. Friend. It doesn't matter how you describe Jim Wilson, but most people who know him will say that he is a true example of the Western way of life. He always said that starting at about six years old, he knew he wanted to be a cowboy, and he wanted to be the best cowboy. Robert J. Wilson was born in Broadus, Montana, on May 15, 1945, the eldest of three boys, to Bob & Betty Wilson. At that time, they were employed by...
