He is located at 830 Central Avenue South, a building that formerly held the private practices of FNP Thad Giblette and chiropractor Roger Amundsun.

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. It is nonbinding and will need a vote from the full House Appropriations Committee to actually be added to the legislation. The funding will be used to replace the 108 year old siphons before they suffer catastrophic failure. This is critical, explained Marko Manoukian, Local Co-Chair of the St. Mary Rehabilitation Working Group. We used...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Sympathy to all victims of hurricanes or tornadoes. It is very sad. Back in Whitewater, we do not have hurricanes or tornadoes, (at least not severe). We do have snow and ice and really cold weather. But it is getting better. Now we have a Chinook wind. The snow is melting! Think Spring! Tuesday evening, there was a pep rally at WHS for our teams going to tournament. It was a large group and supper was served. Good luck to all players. The Penguin/Mavericks, girls’ and boys’ basketball team’s to...
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...
