We learn everything from how to run our business on paper, navigate expenses, and hire the right team of expert lawyers and accountants, to how to become more profitable. We often ask ourselves, "Am I doing this right? Is my business headed in the direction I want it to go? What areas of my business do I need to focus on?" These are just some of the many questions we encounter in day-to-day business...
Dear Editor, Montana is a beacon of fiscal responsibility; it's time to apply it in DC. The state's budget surplus this year is a clear indicator that Montana is doing something right economically. We've seen this money be put to good use by reducing our tax burden and smart spending on programs that will boost our economic prosperity and bring growth and opportunity to the state. Representative Matt Rosendale has brought that same mentality to Congress. It's clear that Democrats have overspent...

Youth is a paradox because you want to be healthy and make good habits and set up your career, but you also want to be hedonistic so you don’t end up regre...

The Library will be closed on Monday, May 29, in honor of Memorial Day. We will be open regular hours the rest of the week.

Current hours for the Library are as follows: Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 AM to 7 PM; Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 AM to 7 PM; Fridays...

I learned to shoot on the family ranch, as ranch kids are wont to do. My gun education was furthered at a Catholic summer camp, and I still have my paper target proving my marksmanship. It was hunter safety classes, and calm, clear-eyed common sense; this was the rural approach to guns I grew up with. Then it’s a story we all know: Guns became politicized. Polarized. Lobby-ized. Humans are good at inventing things, so guns got more militarized as they turned into weapons of mass destruction. Our laws, sadly, didn’t keep up, because humans can...

Quick and simple meals are the name of the game when warm weather beckons and spending time in the kitchen is less attractive. Salads are best during midsummer when they can be comprised of fresh and ripe ingredients plucked right from the garden. What's more, salad can be a side dish or even the main meal if fortified with a little protein and some bread. This recipe for Authentic Greek Salad from Clueless in the Kitchen: Cooking for Beginners (Firefly Books) by Evelyn Raab is ideal. The...

As technology has advanced, I’ll be the first to admit distrusting the so-called “Cloud”, the online system that saves my pictures, documents, and more on a server in Butte, Bozeman, Seattle, Washington, Sacramento, California, or Dillon, just to make the point. A friend of mine recently told me that he deleted some files on his computer, not knowing that everything was deleted on his entire cloud account—a major hassle. I’m all for files being saved; however, I’m a yard leery of others, namely hackers, getting my personal data and information...
