Polar
Putt Putt?
Wouldn’t this make
for a dandy hole on
the upcoming Polar
Putt Course! While
the snow hs seemed
to dodge us for the
most part this season,
winter storms have
clobbered other parts
of the state pretty
hard as Kevin Myhre,
the BS Buzz’s own
Keith Myhre’s brother,
had quite a task in
digging out at his
home in Lewistown
well into the evening
this past Saturday.
But don’t worry, the
Glasgow Downtown
Association’s 6th
Annual Polar Putt
this Saturday is held
indoors. It is a 14-hole
course of fun! But it
will feel a bit Polar as
you make the round as
Saturday’s weather is
calling for some nippy
temperature s. Check
out the ad in today’s
Buzz for more details.

Reflections on My First
Week as Your Representative
As I write this, I am filled with a deep sense of gratitude
and responsibility for the opportunity to represent you in
the Montana House of Representatives. On day one I was
sworn in as your legislator by Judge Luke Savage of Sidney,
Montana—a moment I will always remember. Standing
there, I felt the weight of the trust you’ve placed in me and

Amy Rutherford to action for all of us to work together to move Montana
(406) 230-0380 forward.
In addition, week one included attending my first
committee meetings: Taxation and Health & Human
Services. These committees address critical issues that affect
the everyday lives of all Montanans—and certainly issues
important to/in NE Montana. Property tax reform, access
to rural healthcare, and sustainable long-term care facilities
are front and center for the well-being of our families and
communities. Listening to testimony, asking questions, and
beginning to understand the intricate processes involved
has been both humbling and inspiring. I am learning
quickly that every voice matters, and every decision carries
profound implications for the people we serve.
As I navigate the early days of this journey, I am struck
by how much there is to learn and how important it is to
approach this role with humility and an open mind. This
process is not just about passing laws; it’s about listening to
you, my constituents, and ensuring your voices are heard
in every decision I make.
This first week has reminded me of the immense
privilege it is to represent House District 29. I am here
because of you, and I will work tirelessly to ensure your
priorities are reflected in the policies we shape and the
decisions we make.
Thank you for entrusting me with this responsibility.
I look forward to keeping you updated throughout the
session, and I encourage you to reach out with your
thoughts, concerns, and ideas. Together, we can build a
brighter future for our district and our great state.
Representative Valerie Moore, HD 29

 ~ THANK YOU ~
I want to thank all the businesses and people that so
generously donated to my benefit in November. Thank
You to all that attended. Thank you to my family and
friends that did such an amazing job organizing it. Thank
you to everyone that have made monetary donations,
sent cards, and have provided word of encouragement,
I appreciate everyone so much and feel so blessed to
live in such a wonderful and giving community.

Miracle: Worship Leader Plays Hymn As It Was Written

TULSA, OK — Congregants at a local
church were witnesses to what many people
described as a divine act as the worship leader
somehow managed to play an entire hymn
exactly as it was written.
The miraculous event occurred during
yesterday’s morning service, as Covenant Grace
Church worship leader Jeff Stringer started —
and completed — “Amazing Grace” without
changing any melodies, adding any bridges, or
breaking for any guitar solos. Attendees said the
experience was surreal but served as a stark reminder of something I could do under my own strength, that’s for
