As you sit in the quiet of your home today, planning the week out and thinking about tomorrow, take a minute and think about the tragic event of “9/11” that changed the world. Just stop, sit quietly and think. On this day, September 11 in 2001, the students in the schools across the nation weren’t even born, yet. Still those hours of terrorist attacks on innocent lives left an impact that is comparable to previous dates that you can probably remember. Fortunately, a majority of the population was born and is able to remember the devastation. Wh...

U.S. Senator Steve Daines (R-MT) and Congressman Lloyd Smucker (R-PA-11) today shared a new study from Ernst and Young (EY) highlighting the economic activity supported by their small and family-owned business tax deduction. The Section 199A deduction provides a 20 percent deduction for pass-through businesses, allowing these businesses to reinvest their hard-earned capital, increase wages and hire more employees. The new study found that 2.6 million jobs and $325 billion of GDP are supported by the deduction. Daines and Smucker introduced the...
I reserve a block of time to hunt every fall. It’s typically the whole season. My wife used to push back a bit, but in recent years has relented, finally realizing, I suppose, that four months of me gone most days is a pretty good deal. This fall I’m paying her back. Instead of hunting I’m building. We sold our house in Malta last summer forcing us to downsize. What didn’t fit in our cabin on the lake we divided between the office we still have in Malta, and the small house we bought a couple...

Even though Phillips County is thousands of miles from any city or location where the tragic event known as 9/11 even happened, it will be a part of the remembrances across the nation. From sea to shining sea, from grain fields to city streets and especially within hearts of those who were part of the world listening to the devastation on TV or the radio, few will ever forget that day. And that is understandable - it touched many lives, like the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the...
