The Gallatin County Sheriff's Office is asking residents to fill out and return jury summons questionnaires. There are currently over 3,600 outstanding jury summons that must be send back to the District Court. These are used for the year's jury pool.

While I was plenty excited my mom visited earlier this month; I was not as thrilled that I would have to make a stop at the Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport. The older I get, the list of things that drive me crazy seems more extended than a trip to the DMV. Near the top of the list is a visit to any airport. I wasn’t even flying the other day, but I knew that my blood would be boiling when I walked into the building. It turns out that I started to get irritated a few minutes before I arrived. I know nothing about engineering, but I don... Full story
Have you ever felt like your hard work went unnoticed, or maybe you feel as though you aren’t making a difference? You’re not alone. In times of feeling overlooked, it’s important to remember that even the most extraordinary individuals face moments of rejection.

King David, a shepherd boy, felt overlooked in the eyes of his family and the world. When the prophet Samuel was tasked with choosing the next King of Israel,...
