I simply disagree with Shepherd Bond
Dear Editor, I would like to address a few things regarding the Shepherd School bond issue. I’ve attended a meeting at the school and talked to different people, both for and against. Not all were fully informed. Our property taxes are $2250 per year. With the proposed increase they would be $2858 per year. That’s […]
There is a difference between wants and needs
Dear Editor, In 1963, I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in education and a Master degree in 1991. After my 1963 graduation, I was hired to teach in the reading clinic at EMC. I also taught in the Shepherd, Roundup, and the Billings school districts. When not teaching full time, I substituted in […]
Rule of law not in the U.S. Constitution
Dear Editor, The other night I listened to Trey Gowdy pontificate and expound on the rule of law. I felt that I had been taken back to Nazi Germany during the Second World War and was listening to Hans Frank . Hans Frank was one of Adolf Hitlers chief lawyers and traveled throughout the […]
Give Shepherd the school it deserves!
Dear Editor, Recently, I drove my son through the Shepherd Schools. A few years ago, I had the chance to eat lunch with my nephew in the same lunchroom where I ate lunch 30 years ago. Now I can’t do that because they eat in classrooms. I then found out that the building where I […]

Don’t they provide valuable family planning and medical services to women – including those in the predicament of an unplanned pregnancy?

Dear Editor, Shepherd and Pioneer School district community members, as many of you have heard, we will be running an election on May 7th to vote on some much-needed repairs and upgrades to our Shepherd School facilities.
Expose the causes of socio-economic issues
Dear Editor, Poverty, is it a cause or an effect? Some have said alcoholism and mental illness are a treatable disease. Some have said poverty is just a lack of education or ambition. So, are addiction, crime and abuse effects of poverty or the cause? Does lack of education mean lack of knowledge, experience or […]
Here’s to the heroes
Dear Editor, Webster’s dictionary defines a hero as one who displays great courage and self-sacrifice for the greater good. In our life we hear of many typ
Not in our town, nation, or world
Dear Editor, I see Jennifer, Krayton and I have one thought in common, the “Country is going hell in a hand basket.” It’s time we put away the childish blame game and took responsibility for our own actions.
Shepherd community: let’s keep the momentum going!
Dear Editor, It is great to see all the hard work and community support going towards the Shepherd School bond! Our school board, our school administration, our community, and Collaborative Design have been working diligently to bring this plan to Vote for our community. If this bond passes, that same great team will keep us […]
