KSEN/K96 FM - Bozeman Trophy Athlete of the Week choices were gut wrenching this week as a number of local athletes turned in big performances.
The national unemployment rate remains over 9% and Montana's rate is still near 8-percent, so you might be surprised to hear Al Dosch of Al's Diesel in Cut Bank say he can't find workers. Al blames the structure of the current structure of unemployment and welfare benefits.
"Right now, If I could find 'em, I would hire 10 more workers by tomorrow morning." If we could find people who have a general idea of what we're doing and "wants to work, we'll even train them." He says, don't get me wrong, there are people out there who need our help, but too many able-bodied people would rather take what the government will give them and not have to work. If he could sit next to President Obama and suggest what's needed to create jobs, he would first say re-structure the welfare-unemployment structure and make all able-bodied people work.
Some looked like they were going to lose their lunch, others bent over and some just laid down on the ground......All were sweating profusely and breathing hard.
Just a few of my observations at the Shelby hosted Marias Valley X-country Invitational on Monday evening
Just getting the 30x50 Veteran's Memorial Flag in the air 6 years ago was a major job, but now the 5-member flag committee is taking further steps to make sure that the "Flag will fly forever."
A veterans memorial display was rapidly being set into place just below the flag site to the South, along the Frontage road on the West edge of Shelby
The Bobcat Tailgate party in Shelby last weekend was quite a success. Ringside Ribs was set up to feed about 120 max, but they ended up feeding more than 150 and the crowd was rumored to be about double what was expected. See what one victory will do!
