    Senator Mike Lang submitted a recommended $53 million change to House Bill 6 secured a 5-1 vote from the appropriations subcommittee focused on infrastructure.

  • Legislative Update From Senator Lang

    Feb 22, 2023

    To Senate District 17 As Eastern Montana has been attending wrestling and basketball events, the legislature continues to move legislation that will help all Montanans. Competition is heated with debates and is very fast-moving. Rules and decorum keep us in order, but sometimes the crowd, like during an athletic event, voices their opinion. I do it every day here, whether in committee or on the floor, with a green (yes) or a red (no) vote on the issue at hand. We have reformed some of the...

  • Iowa Man Recalls Camping In Malta, Act of Vandalism

    Feb 22, 2023

    Dear Editor, Here at Marble Rock, we have a volunteer monthly newspaper. Our circulation is approximately 400 and is sent free to everyone with a 50653-zip code. I am writing you since I write an article each month, mostly about our history. Sometimes I cover personal stories. The one this month mentions Malta, Montana. My wife and I were in our early 20’s and we decide to take a vacation to Glacier and Yellowstone. We didn’t have much money, so we were camping. It was nearly dusk when we pulled off to stay overnight in Malta. By the time we...

  • I'm Glad I Got Out Last Week

    Parker Heinlein, Outdoors Columnist|Feb 22, 2023

    Winter started early. The snow that fell in November is still here, hidden under all the snow that’s fallen since. Another storm is on the way, promising more snow and a third bout of sub-zero cold. I’m glad I got out last week. It was barely below freezing with only a slight breeze. Inside the spearing shack it was warm enough to take off the gloves. Spearing fish is much like deer hunting from a stand: long periods of inactivity abruptly interrupted. One minute it’s hard to stay awake and t...

    Eldora Henry, PCN Correspondent|Feb 22, 2023

    We have seen lots of water from the warmer sun and the winds that blow every day. It has been quite nice but the next five days are to be very cold again and some places are to get quite a bit of snow. Our winter just gets longer and longer. At least it stayed a little better while the tournaments were on, so they had some relief. The teams really played their hearts out. Polly Solberg went to Billings Thursday to visit her son Tim, and family. Robbie Bear was in town for a couple of days...

    Pat Murdock, PCN Correspondent|Feb 22, 2023

    Here are some ideas about stress that I found in a farm paper a while back. Have a laugh if you can. Here are some great ways to deal with life. When you come home from work don't bring it home with you. Never put both feet in your mouth, or you won't have a leg to stand on. Accept that some days you are the pigeon, some days you are the statue. If you lend someone $20 and never see them again, it's probably worth it. When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane. Some mistakes are to much fun to only make once. Always keep your...
