The past week's rain and snow throughout Valley County was welcomed and even elicited comments such as "Thank goodness for this rain!" "I don't like snow this time of year but it's better than nothing!" and "We need all of the moisture we can get!" throughout the community. According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Glasgow, every little bit of moisture helps, but it would sure be helpful if Mother Nature did even more. The last 15 months, January 2021 to March 2022, have been some of th...

Dear Editor, In March of 2020 the USDA made a statement that the present definition of the Product in USA label was confusing consumers. The admission came in response to a petition filed by the United States Cattlemen's Association about accurate labeling. At present, simply repackaging imported beef once it enters the USA allows this product to carry the Product of USA label. There is proposed legislation in Congress that seeks to redefine this voluntary label to be used only on products from...
Dear Editor, Unfortunately, the stars are lining up for the World Wildlife Fund's (WWF) grandiose plan to rewild the Northern Great Plains.

Emails, via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), detailed the cozy relationship between the Bullock administration and the APR. Now two former members of the Bullock administration are heading the...
Thankfully, the days of it being cool to demonize technology in a blanket fashion are coming to an end. Even over the course of my career, things have shifted and people have realized that it’s much more useful as a tool for productivity, learning and even to help us d-estress. Few things bring as much joy as a YouTube video of a talking husky. There is something brewing however which does cast somewhat of a shadow on this progress. It protects our privacy when we communicate with others, enables the secure sharing of files and keeps prying eye...

Since I'm using the word "kvetch" for my continuing bellyaching about the wind, I decided I should have more information about it. Kvetch in Yiddish means "to press" or "to squeeze" (which is what I do with a slice of lemon into my morning tea) but has come to mean "to complain" to us non-Yiddish speakers. You can be a kvetch or you can do it. Occasionally I'm guilty of both. At least, I hope it's only occasionally and not often! If it's too often, feel free to kvetch at me. We've had another...
