COWBOY POETRY BY H. FRED LIESE Fred Liese makes his home at the edge of Black Coulee near Turner, Montana.

Raised on the Big Flat, he finds plenty of “inspiration” in the people and things around him every day, and Fred’s brand of entertainment has earned him a large following throughout the US and Canada.

Letter Number 6

They use it all too frequently Each time, they’re in a fix This word, you may have guessed, It starts with letter number 6.

I now will wrap this up Some flames, I might have fanned Please use a few more words So at least, I’ll understand.

I can see some people counting Some will wrinkle up their nose Some complete the math It’s on their fingers or their toes.

Hmmm, From a well known trader paper, Here’s the editor in chief She used another term I’d guess for stress relief.

I know the general meaning Users make me quite confused Some use it every sentence Now, I deem it overused.

She had a great dilemma Things had run amuck When I did inquire, It was not a cluster of luck.

I know it is a naughty word I know it is a curse It makes me stop to think, A laxative is in reverse.

At times, it is a verb Then a noun, without a doubt I’m a few bricks short I can’t seem to sort it out.

He used the word so frequently To me, it was intense I focused on his lingo He’s not making any sense.

He added “ING” When he felt there was a need To make it more descriptive, He then added E and D.

Here came another volley He then said, “Up & good” Thinking this was positive, I’d misunderstood.

With competitive rates and personal service, it’s no wonder more drivers trust State Farm .

Ten Things You MighT noT have Known abouT social securiTY

Social Security is a lot like the ozone layer--we all know it’s there now and we count on it being there in the future. Yet most people don’t know much more about it than that. Here’s a short list of interesting facts about Social Security.

For Sale: River Break Basecamp of Fort Benton buys, sells and consigns (@25%) used books and vintage farm/homestead items.

Call Tom @ 406-564-3326 or visit our retail storefront in downtown Fort Benton, which features 20,000 books, vintage goods and outdoor gear for work or play! Gifts galore! river break basecamp@hotmail. com 808 17th Street/POB 1222 Fort Benton, MT 59442-1222 8-II

Social Security benefits do not automatically start coming in the mail the first day of Normal Retirement Age. You must apply for it. The easiest way is to set up an appointment with the local Social Security office or call 1-800-7721213.

2. To get an official statement of all the earnings recorded in your Social Security account, an estimate of your current disability and death benefits, and an estimate of future retirement benefits, fill out Form #7004 Request for Social Security Statement, obtainable at your local office.

3. If you do not find and correct errors in your Social Security record within 3 years, they become part of your permanent record. Therefore, you might want to check on them every 3 years or so.

4. You can work during retirement, but if you earn too much it will reduce the size of the benefits you are receiving from age 62 up to your Normal Retirement Age. The limits on such earnings are currently $14,160 for 2011. Benefits are reduced by $1 for every $2 that you earn over this amount. After you attain your Normal Retirement Age, you may work as much as you want with no reduction in benefits, although they may become taxable if you earn too much.

5. You can increase the size of your retirement benefit by delaying collecting your benefits and by remaining on the job past full retirement age. This higher benefit comes from extra earnings toward your account and a credit awarded for this patience, ranging from 3% to 8% of your benefit depending on your date of birth.

6. For people born after 1937, Normal Retirement Age will increase. For example, if you were born in 1940, full retirement age is 65 and 6 months; born in 1950, it is 66. Anybody born in 1960 or later will be eligible at age 67.

7. Social Security disability benefits do not continue past Normal Retirement Age. The month before you attain normal retirement age, the disability benefits are automatically converted to retirement benefits.

8. There is a limit to the amount of benefits that can be paid on each Social Security record called the Maximum Family Benefit, generally around 150% to 180% of the worker’s benefit. If this limit is exceeded, the family benefits are reduced.

9. Ex-spouses, widows and divorced widows may all be eligible for benefits on a spouse’s record. Provided the requirements are met, they may even all be collecting on the same worker’s record.

10. There are two Social Security trust funds: one is used to finance retirement and survivors benefits and the other is used to finance the disability program.

Money not used to pay current benefits is invested only in U. S. Government Treasury bonds.

Social Security is a significant resource for many retired individuals. Spend some time with your financial planner learning about what part these benefits should play in your retirement planning future.

Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner. I had been shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late. But he made no comment on it.

Conversation wasn’t flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet, so we could talk. He agreed, but he didn’t say much. I asked him what was wrong. He said, “Nothing.”

I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said he wasn’t upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it. On the way home, I told him that I loved him. He smiled slightly, and kept driving. I couldn’t explain his behavior. I don’t know why he didn’t say, “I love you, too.” When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat there quietly, and watched TV. He continued to seem distant and absent. Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed. About 15 minutes later, he came to bed. I still felt that he was distracted, and his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell asleep.

I cried. I don’t know what to do. I’m almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else. My life is a disaster.

Boat wouldn’t start. Can’t figure it out.

These quotable quotes and catch-phrases are used and repeated, but seldom fully understood. Enjoy reading this Tricia’s Trader exclusive where we delve into the background and origins of some commonly referenced lines in American lingo.

“Democracy does not guarantee equality of conditions – it only guarantees equality of opportunity.”

WHO SAID IT: IRVING KRISTOL (1920-2009) – as described on wikipedia.org, Irving Kristol “was an American columnist, journalist, and writer who was dubbed the ‘godfather of neoconservatism’. As the founder, editor, and contributor to various magazines, he played an influential role in the intellectual and political culture of the last half-century; after his death he was described by The Daily Telegraph as being ‘perhaps the most consequential public intellectual of the latter half of the 20th century’.”

CONTEXT: Neoconservatism, emerging in the 1970s, is most known for its advocacy of using American economic and military power to topple American enemies and promote liberal democracy in other countries. Kristol asserts in his earliest works that bourgeois capitalism is a valid ideology on two points--”it works, in a quite simple, material sense”, by improving the conditions of people, and it is “congenial to a large measure of personal liberty”, an achievement which he argues only capitalism has proved capable of providing--but rejects it on a third point, that it does not meet the individual’s “‘existential’ human needs” and creates a threatening “spiritual malaise” in the societal order. In Kristol’s belief, this third point serves as the distinguishing mark of neoconservatism.

Ramblings of a Conservative Cow Doctor

by Krayton Kerns, DVM, State Rep. HD 58

We hope you enjoy reading this feature in Tricia’s Trader. You may agree, you may disagree with Dr. Kerns’ Ramblings, but

you will always have something to discuss over dinner.

Tyranny v. Freedom (August 10, 2011)

America is fighting three wars—two in the Middle East and one here at home. Sadly, we are losing the one on American soil. If you are a skimmer of the news, you may have missed the numerous subtle victories of tyranny over freedom and blissfully think tomorrow, next week, and next year will be just like yesterday. You are wrong. America is about to change because compromise and consensus are championed as the new ideal. Exactly when compromise, a submissive technique, became honorable is unknown, but it certainly wasn’t favored in colonial times. Our founders passionately understood the battle for liberty and never dreamed of compromising a little bit of freedom in exchange for just a little bit of tyranny. To the contrary, the tougher things became, the more patriots held to principle. America needed men of conviction then, and she desperately needs them again today.

It appeared all was lost in December of 1776 when Tom penned the words, “Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated”. In American Crisis, Tom was making the point God didn’t say freedom would be easy, only worth it and his timely message forever changed world history.

Tom’s first paper, Common Sense, laid the groundwork for colonists to break free from the chains of British tyranny and he was one of the first patriots to take up arms in our War for Independence. As an aid to General Greene, Tom was with the Continental Army during their tough three month retreat through New Jersey, and into Pennsylvania the fall of 1776. From a force of 12,000 in August, by December, death, desertion and dysentery had shriveled Washington’s Army to a rag-tag cluster of 2500 starving and exhausted patriots. Colonists, who cheered every minuteman packing a musket to New York earlier that summer, now stood deathly quiet as Tom and these unrecognizable, emaciated soldiers staggered back to the west. The endless days in the mud and slop had rotted their leather boots and many wrapped their feet in burlap and rope to march in the snow and ice. It wasn’t easy being a patriot.

With a British victory nearly certain, many colonists began siding with the crown; in every war there is a winning side and they wanted on it. Had it not been for Tom, tyranny might have prevailed. Guided by the hand of God, Thomas Paine, using a drum head as a writing desk, penned the words of the American Crisis on December 23rd, 1776. Seeing Tom’s essay spark the passion for liberty in his emaciated soldiers, General Washington bet all his chips on a Christmas Day surprise attack across the icy Delaware River. Fighting with divine inspiration, the starving American patriots overwhelmed the well fed, well equipped and highly disciplined Hessian forces. America was victorious because ordinary patriots—true uncompromising patriots—did extraordinary things and this brings me to my point.

Conviction to principle and one’s oath of office are nearly non-existent today in Washington.

Last week, our US Congress further shackled us under a growing, tyrannical federal government when they raised the debt ceiling. By a vote of 74 to 26 in the US Senate, and 269 to 161 in the US House, politicians have compromised away the very freedom gifted us by those 2500 starving American patriots on that Christmas Day in ‘76. I’m a wordsmith, yet I can’t find the words to express my disgust. Every single Representative or Senator who supported this bill must be removed from office at the next election—every one of them. It won’t be easy, only worth it. The restoration of our great American republic must begin with you, because it won’t begin with anyone else.
