Bipartisanship

Suicide
Montana now has the dubious distinction of leading the nation in suicides.
“We’re number one - last year we were number two, but we’ve had the highest rate over the last couple years” Karl Rosston told the Philipsburg Mail in an interview, “we’ve been in the top five for the last 40 years, among the top in the country and for the past hundred years, eight of the top 10 are Rocky Mountain region states.” Rosston is Suicide Prevention Coordinator for the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services and will be offering a presentation on suicide for the community, thanks to Annie Young of Granite County Public Health and Granite Schools Superintendent Mike Cutler. The presentation is designed to help people recognize the warning signs of suicide.
Good news: Philipsburg’s school enrollment is up this year
“I’m happy to report some numbers,” is how School Superintendent Mike Cutler presented the figures to the School Board at their monthly meeting. Student enrollment in the Kindergarten through 12th grade district has increased by almost twelve percent this year. Last year the district had a total of 151 students. As of this fall 169 students are enrolled in classes.
A Hall boy takes the bird house baton
Back in May I wrote a little story about a project I started called, ‘Bird houses to the Burg.’
This is the ongoing story of Memorial Bird houses that I’ve made to honor people who have passed on in our little valley.
Signs
A disgruntled reader (for a change, he wasn’t disgruntled with us) requested that we write an article on political signs being defaced.
The sign in question, promoting the election of Democrat Kathleen Williams, who is running against incumbent Republican U.S. Congressman Greg Gianforte, had been taken away long enough for some hooligan to spray paint the word “TRUMP” on both sides of his sign.
