By the PR County Healthcare Advisory Board The last couple of months have been very interesting to say the least. What ever your opinion on it, COVID-19 has made an impact on our lives.

By Slug & Poppy Mills The town of Boyes was established by John & Claude Bruce in 1911. Soon after, it was a bustling community with many homesteaders and businesses. John Bruce donated the ground for a cemetery in 1914 with the death of a traveler’s baby. Then, John was the first grown person to be buried there in 1915. It was not until 1931 when the new highway was surveyed 3 miles south that the cemetery was surveyed and platted. At this time, the Bruce Cemetery Assn. was formed. Through the efforts of fundraisers in 1931 a fence was put in...

By Lauryn Billing 4-H has always had a part in my life! When I wasn't old enough and my sisters were in it, I couldn't wait until it was my turn to participate. I was an honorary member of the Powder River Trailblazers at about age one! I've been a part of the 4-H program officially for six years and am now working on my seventh. My two favorite projects have been Photography and Market Hog. I have taken market hog for the past six years. I love this project because every pig has its own...
4-H member Jaxon Bilbrey said, "I like feeding my Market steer and trying to finish him so I can show in the Champions of Champions in Miles City."

Remember to vote just 1 Ballot in the Primary Election. Due to the change from poll election to mail ballot election there has been some confusion regarding the unvoted ballots. Typically, in a poll election, you would be handed your party ballots, one each; Republican, Democrat, and Green. You would then pick the ballot you wish to vote, return your voted ballot to the Voted Ballot Box, and drop the unvoted ballots into the Unvoted Ballot Box. In this mail ballot election, all that is needed is to return your voted ballot in your secrecy...
Please dispose of fish offal and animal parts directly at the dump, or leave them where the animals were cleaned.

Bag your garbage when possible, and in addition, cardboard should be taken to the IGA, where it will be crushed, and not disposed of in dumpsters....
