<div class="wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column3487_32d274-d2"><div class="kt-inside-inner-col"><div class="kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id3487_1c1ed7-2c alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout"><div class="kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top">

<div class="wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column3487_0f110d-7c"><div class="kt-inside-inner-col">
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Picture this:</h2>



<p>It&#8217;s the dead of night, and a stranger&#8217;s cough suddenly shatters the silence. The catch? You&#8217;re home alone, and the sound is coming directly from your nightstand. This eerie phenomenon is the latest security scare circulating on TikTok, leaving iPhone users wondering if their devices are listening—or worse.</p>



<p>If you&#8217;re like millions of Americans who need white noise to fall asleep at night, take notice that hackers are buying YouTube ads to target you. The sleep hygiene demographic is big. While YouTube doesn&#8217;t disclose official numbers for people who listen to white noise for sleep, data from third-party surveys, channel analytics, and view counts estimate the sleep hygiene demographic at around tens of millions.</p>



<p>You may want to rethink using your iPhone for white noise at night after hearing this story.<br></p>
</div></div>

</div></div>

<div class="kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id3487_efdb3a-20 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout"><div class="kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top">

<div class="wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column3487_b0862a-7c"><div class="kt-inside-inner-col">
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>4 a.m. Tapping</strong></h3>



<p>A TikTok user, v22Salazar, who usually falls asleep to YouTube, woke up to a man staring at her through her iPhone. She was jolted awake by the sound of a microphone on her device around 4 a.m.</p>



<p>The man the young woman saw on her screen was sitting in a computer chair, watching her. She could tell that he was using dual monitors. When she noticed him looking back and forth between the two monitors, she knew that this was really happening.</p>



<p>When she touched the screen on her iPhone, the screen lit up. However, she noticed that the man on her iPhone could cloak himself by dimming the screen. He appeared &#8216;pixelated,&#8217; but she could still see him.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Passcode Trap</strong></h3>



<p>Remembering a warning from another woman who faced the same nightmare, v22Salazar realized the man&#8217;s goal. He was making faint tapping sounds, a calculated move to trick her into a sleepy, reflexive routine: entering her passcode.</p>



<p>She played along, pretending to go back to sleep so he would reveal himself again. When he did, the reality set in—he had total control of her device. </p>



<p>Her only solace was that she had never stored her banking information on the device, leaving the hacker unable to access her wallet even if she had entered her passcode.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Understanding the Entry Point</strong></h3>



<p>Awareness is your first line of defense. Attacks often involve manipulating the target. For example, you might see a banner promising &#8220;Ad-Free Black Screen Rain Sounds.&#8221; That sounds perfect for someone who needs help falling asleep. Clicking the banner ad triggers a prompt that asks you to &#8216;allow&#8217; a browser notification or download a separate app to continue. Treat this request as a signal to close the tab; staying within the official YouTube app is the simplest way to keep your device secure.</p>



<p>By recognizing that legitimate YouTube content will never ask you to install anything, you can stop a security breach before it starts. Being mindful of the links in video descriptions is another powerful habit. However, even the most cautious users benefit from a safety net.</p>
</div></div>



<div class="wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column3487_ad9633-75"><div class="kt-inside-inner-col">
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The &#8220;Multi-Layer&#8221; Approach</strong></h3>



<p>So, what else can you do to secure your device? While your habits keep you alert, technology provides the muscle.</p>



<p>The first step is keeping your iPhone updated to the latest iOS. Installing the latest software is a critical defense because it patches the very vulnerabilities hackers try to exploit. Currently, Apple is no longer offering security-only updates for those staying on older versions, making the jump to the latest iOS release essential.</p>



<p>However, software updates should not be your only line of defense. Strong antivirus software is critical. Antivirus software adds another layer of protection by scanning malicious links, blocking risky websites, and alerting you to suspicious activity before it&#8217;s too late.</p>



<p>Nemont offers protection for your home network, preinstalled on all our routers. Protect all the devices connected to your network and prevent cybercriminals from accessing your sensitive information.<br>Sign up for Advanced WiFi Plus from Nemont.</p>

</div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>iPhone and iPad Models At the Highest Risk</strong></h3>



<p>Apple says the following devices are affected if they are not updated:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>iPhone 11 and later</li>



<li>iPad Pro 12.9-inch 3rd generation and later</li>



<li>iPad Pro 11-inch 1st generation and later</li>



<li>iPad Air 3rd generation and later</li>



<li>iPad 8th generation and later</li>



<li>iPad mini 5th generation and later</li>
</ul>



<p>If your device appears on this list and you have not updated it, it is vulnerable. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Steps to Update Your iPhone or iPad now</strong></h3>



<p>Updating is quick and usually painless. If automatic updates are enabled, the fix may already be installed.</p>



<p>If not, follow these steps:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Open the&nbsp;<strong>Settings app&nbsp;</strong>on iPhone</li>



<li>Tap&nbsp;<strong>General</strong></li>



<li>Select&nbsp;<strong>Software Update</strong></li>



<li>Download and&nbsp;<strong>install iOS 26.2 or iPadOS 26.2 or later&nbsp;</strong></li>
</ul>



<p>Make sure your device is connected to Wi-Fi and has enough battery life or is plugged in.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">YouTube TV</h2>



<p>It is no secret that you can save money by cutting the cord, a.k.a. getting rid of your cable or satellite TV. One of the biggest reasons most people don&#8217;t do it sooner is because they don&#8217;t want to give up their local news channels. You don&#8217;t have to. Not with switching to YouTube TV!</p>



<p>YouTube TV offers local news stations such as ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX and has become a popular choice for cord-cutters.</p>



<p>The first couple of things required to get up and running with YouTube TV are a fast Internet connection and a monthly subscription to YouTube TV.<br></p>
</div></div>

</div></div>

<div class="kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id2950_8885a7-9b alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout"><div class="kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top">

<div class="wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column2950_5447ec-1c"><div class="kt-inside-inner-col">
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>1. Internet Connection</strong></h3>



<p>YouTube TV requires a connection of at least 3 Mbps for viewing your favorite TV shows at standard definition (SD). That&#8217;s the minimum needed. With more people staying at home these days, more people in your household are relying on the internet for work, online education, and entertainment. Have a family of six? 3 Mbps isn&#8217;t going to be enough for everyone in your home. If you can get gig speeds, why not get it? That way, everyone in your family can stay connected.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2. Cost</strong></h3>



<p>YouTube TV costs&nbsp;$82.99 per month for the Base Plan, which includes over 100 channels.&nbsp;New customers may be eligible for a promotional rate of $59.99 per month for the first two months.&nbsp;Add-ons like the Spanish Plan ($14.99/month) and 4K Plus ($9.99/month) can increase the total cost.&nbsp;</p>
</div></div>



<div class="wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column2950_f00235-80"><div class="kt-inside-inner-col">
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3. Channel Lineup</strong></h3>



<p>Channel lineup is probably the most important factor you&#8217;ll take into consideration when switching.&nbsp;</p>



<p>YouTube TV&#8217;s channel lineup rivals its competitors for its sports networks. You can get channels like ESPN, Fox Sports 1 &amp; 2, Big Ten Network, CBS Sports Network, MLB Network, NBCSN, SEC Network, and NBA TV. YouTube TV added the NFL Network to its base plan back in September of last year.&nbsp;</p>



<p>With a YouTube TV subscription, you&#8217;ll get 85+ of the top channels in entertainment, news, live sports, &amp; more, plus unlimited DVR storage for recording your favorite shows.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>4. How to Activate It</strong></h3>



<p>To activate your YouTube TV subscription, follow a few simple steps. First, if you haven&#8217;t already, sign up for a YouTube TV membership on a web browser by visiting the official website. Once your account is created, you will be prompted to sign in with your Google account. If you don&#8217;t have a Google account, use the link below to sign up. Next, download the YouTube TV app on your preferred streaming device, such as a smart TV, Roku, Apple TV, or gaming console. When you open the app, a unique activation code will appear on the screen. On a separate device (like your phone or computer), go to tv.youtube.com/start, sign in to your Google account, and enter the code displayed on your TV. This will link your device to your YouTube TV account, and you&#8217;ll be ready to start watching.</p>

<div class="wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column2947_0ebe69-41"><div class="kt-inside-inner-col">
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strategies of online safety</h2>



<p>Parents and caregivers play a crucial role in safeguarding children online. Here are some key strategies: &nbsp;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Open Communication:</strong> Talk to your children regularly about their online activities. Encourage them to come to you with any concerns or uncomfortable experiences.  </li>



<li><strong>Establish Clear Rules and Guidelines:</strong> Set clear rules about internet usage, including time limits, acceptable websites, and appropriate online behavior. Discuss the consequences of breaking these rules.</li>



<li><strong>Utilize Parental Controls:</strong> Use parental control software like <strong><a href="https://nemont.com/residential/internet/advanced-wifiplusiq/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Advanced WiFi+IQ</a></strong> to filter content, restrict access to certain websites, and monitor online activity.  </li>



<li><strong>Supervise Online Activity:</strong> Especially for younger children, supervise their online activity to ensure they are safe and following some established guidelines. As children get older, gradually give them more independence, but maintain open communication and trust.  </li>



<li><strong>Teach Privacy Awareness:</strong> Emphasize the importance of protecting personal information. Teach children not to share their name, address, phone number, school name, or other identifying information online without your permission.  </li>



<li><strong>Educate about Cyberbullying:</strong> Talk to your children about what cyberbullying is and how to respond to it. Encourage them to report any instances of cyberbullying they witness or experience.</li>



<li><strong>Promote Critical Thinking:</strong> Teach children to evaluate online information critically. Help them understand that not everything they see online is true.  </li>



<li><strong>Set a Good Example:</strong> Model responsible online behavior yourself. Be mindful of your own screen time and the information you share online.</li>



<li><strong>Stay Informed:</strong> Keep up-to-date on the latest online safety threats and best practices. Utilize online resources and workshops to enhance your knowledge.</li>
</ul>
</div></div>



<div class="wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column2947_0ebe1b-77"><div class="kt-inside-inner-col">
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Empowering Children</h2>



<p>Children also need to be empowered to protect themselves online. Teach them:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>To think before they click:</strong> Encourage them to be cautious about clicking on links or downloading files from unknown sources.</li>



<li><strong>To protect their passwords:</strong> Teach them not to share their passwords with anyone, except for a trusted adult.</li>



<li><strong>To be kind and respectful online:</strong> Emphasize the importance of treating others with respect and kindness in online interactions.  </li>



<li><strong>To report anything that makes them uncomfortable:</strong> Encourage them to come to you or another trusted adult if they encounter anything online that makes them feel uneasy or scared.</li>
</ul>



<div class="wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column2947_877e77-70"><div class="kt-inside-inner-col">
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Collaboration is key</h2>



<p>Protecting children online is a shared responsibility. Parents, educators, and technology companies all have a role to play. Working together can create a safer and more positive online environment for children to learn, grow, and thrive. Open communication, education, and appropriate safety tools are essential to navigating the digital world and ensuring children&#8217;s well-being online.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Uncover the fascinating journey of Wi-Fi technology, from its humble beginnings to the lightning-fast speeds of Wi-Fi 6, and see how it revolutionized our wireless world.</strong><br></h2>



<p>All Wi-Fi devices, including routers, laptops, tablets, smartphones, smart TVs, and other smart home devices, use 802.11 wireless standards to connect to the Internet.</p>



<p>Wi-Fi operates at 2.4 GHz or 5GHz and transmits data using radio waves. Your Wi-Fi router changes these waves based on the data sent using protocols. These Wi-Fi protocols are known as &#8216;<strong>IEEE 802.11</strong></p>



<p><strong>The term Wi-Fi stands for IEEE 802.11.</strong>&nbsp;However,&nbsp;<strong>the Wi-Fi Alliance</strong>, a non-profit organization with the Wi-Fi trademark, sought a more user-friendly term. The Wi-Fi Alliance hired Interbrand, a brand consulting agency, to develop a trademark to promote IEEE 802.11 technology.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Interbrand</strong>&nbsp;knew that calling high-speed wireless networks&#8217; IEEE 802.11&#8242; would not work. The name had to be memorable and roll off the tongue. The idea came from another widely accepted concept, high fidelity. High fidelity is the reproduction of sound with a degree of faithfulness to the original. The trademark &#8216;Wi-Fi&#8217; was born.</p>



<p>Since adopting the term Wi-Fi in 1999, IEEE 802.11 has continued to evolve. Older versions of 802.11 include 802.11<em>a</em>, 802.11<em>b</em>, and 802.11<em>g</em>. Devices using 802.11<em>a</em>,&nbsp;<em>b</em>, or&nbsp;<em>g</em>&nbsp;take more time to communicate. These versions are known as the&nbsp;<strong>slow talkers.</strong></p>



<p>Version&nbsp;<em>b</em>&nbsp;(Wi-Fi 1), released in early 2000, led to the adoption of Wi-Fi.</p>



<p><strong>802.11<em>b</em>&nbsp;devices, in particular, transmit much more slowly.</strong>&nbsp;Version&nbsp;<em>b</em>&nbsp;conversations take up the airwaves and force modern, faster devices to wait longer for a break to communicate. Wi-Fi has much faster speeds since version&nbsp;<em>b</em>.</p>



<p>Older devices&nbsp;<em>(version b)</em>&nbsp;that use Wi-Fi 1 technology&nbsp;need an interpreter &#8211; their way of transmitting data is much slower, at 11 Mbps. Compared to Wi-Fi 6, which transfers data at 10-12 Gbps, it&#8217;s like putting a tortoise in a race against a cheetah.</p>



<p>The next time you experience slow internet speeds, it could be due to an older&nbsp;<em>&#8216;b&#8217;</em>&nbsp;device trying to talk to your router.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Why Internet Speed Matters for 4K</strong></h3>



<p></p>



<p>To stream 4K content smoothly, you need sufficient bandwidth. Here&#8217;s why:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Higher Resolution:</strong> 4K content has four times the resolution of 1080p HD, requiring more data to transmit.</li>



<li><strong>Higher Bitrate:</strong>To maintain 4K quality, the video bitrate, or data rate, is significantly higher.</li>



<li><strong>Multiple Streams:</strong> If you have multiple devices streaming 4K content simultaneously, the demand on your internet connection increases.</li>
</ul>



<p></p>



<p><strong>Recommended Internet Speed for 4K Streaming</strong></p>



<p>For optimal 4K streaming, aim for an internet speed of&nbsp;<strong>25 Mbps or higher</strong>. This will allow you to stream high-quality 4K content without buffering or lag. However, for a truly seamless experience, especially if you&#8217;re streaming multiple 4K devices or engaging in other online activities, a speed of&nbsp;<strong>35-50 Mbps</strong>&nbsp;is recommended.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Board of Directors Elections: New and Familiar Faces</h4>



<p>A crucial part of our annual meeting is the election of Board of Directors.&nbsp;Like other community-focused organizations, telecommunications cooperatives such as Nemont rely on a dedicated board with leadership roles like President, Vice President, and Secretary/Treasurer. Our board also includes Directors representing specific districts within our service territory, each playing a vital role in guiding Nemont.</p>



<p>Adam Carney and Matt Stentoft faced off in&nbsp;<strong>District 1</strong>, with&nbsp;<strong>Matt Stentoft</strong>&nbsp;winning the director position. We sincerely thank&nbsp;<strong>Adam Carney</strong>&nbsp;for his six years of dedicated service on Nemont&#8217;s board. We&#8217;re excited to welcome Matt to the board; his experience as an Active Guard Reservist and a business owner (Silver Star Insurance in Scobey) will be invaluable. Nemont is truly fortunate to have local business owners contributing their expertise to our board.</p>



<p>For&nbsp;<strong>District 2</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Tracy O&#8217;Connor</strong>&nbsp;of Poplar successfully retained his position on Nemont&#8217;s board after facing off against&nbsp;<strong>Matthew Gordon</strong>.&nbsp;Tracy has been a vital&nbsp;part&nbsp;of Nemont&#8217;s Board of Directors for nearly ten years and&nbsp;currently serves as&nbsp;our&nbsp;Chairman.&nbsp;Congratulations, Tracy, on your continued leadership!</p>



<p>Finally,&nbsp;<strong>Gail Fast</strong>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<strong>District 3</strong>&nbsp;ran unopposed and will remain on Nemont&#8217;s board. Gail brings a unique and highly valued perspective, drawing on her experience as a local farmer/rancher and her twelve years as a Nemont employee. Her deep understanding of our day-to-day operations is a tremendous asset. Congratulations, Gail!&nbsp;</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Leadership Transition: A Fond Farewell and a Warm Welcome</h4>



<p>During the meeting, CEO&nbsp;<strong>Mike Kilgore</strong>&nbsp;announced his plans to retire after an incredible 20 years of service to Nemont. Mike&#8217;s dedication has been instrumental in Nemont&#8217;s growth and success. We wish him all the best for his future endeavors and much-deserved time with Betsy and the kids.</p>



<p>We&#8217;re also excited to announce that&nbsp;<strong>Josh Jensen</strong>, our former Human Resources Manager, will transition into the CEO position by December 1st. Mike will officially step down as CEO&nbsp;<strong>on November 30th</strong>. Congratulations, Josh, on this new role!</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">A Special Thanks</h4>



<p>We&nbsp;want to&nbsp;thank&nbsp;<strong>The Food Rush out of Scobey</strong>&nbsp;for catering this year&#8217;s annual meeting. Despite going over the expected turnout, you did an incredible job ensuring everyone had plenty of delicious food. We truly appreciate your excellent service!</p>



<p>And, lastly, thank you to the&nbsp;<strong>Pro Co-op</strong>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<strong>Daniels County Museum Association</strong>, who stepped in at the last minute to save the day when we ran short on tables and chairs. We couldn&#8217;t be more grateful.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>ADAM CARNEY (DISTRICT 1)</strong></p>



<p>As a fifth-generation farmer from Daniels County, my roots run deep in the north Peerless Coal Creek community where I grew up. After graduating from Scobey High School, I pursued a Business Management degree at the University of Montana. Now, my wife and I cultivate a diverse range of small grain crops and pulses&nbsp;right here&nbsp;on our farm.</p>



<p>My involvement in agriculture has extended beyond our fields.&nbsp;I&#8217;ve had the privilege of serving as a Director for the Montana Wheat and Barley Committee and as a&nbsp;member of the&nbsp;Northern Crop Institute Board.&nbsp;As a business owner&nbsp;myself, I understand firsthand the critical role&nbsp;that communication and connectivity play&nbsp;in today&#8217;s world.&nbsp;I&#8217;ve always&nbsp;been driven&nbsp;by a passion to address the unmet needs within our frontier communities.</p>



<p>Since becoming a father, my motivation to see Nemont flourish for the next generation in rural Montana has only grown stronger.&nbsp;For the past six years,&nbsp;I&#8217;ve been honored to serve on the Nemont Board of Directors.&nbsp;My mission is clear: to ensure that cell phone and internet services remain reliable throughout Northeastern Montana. I am deeply committed to bringing progress through positive changes, all&nbsp;with the goal of securing&nbsp;a profitable and sustainable future for Nemont.</p>

<p><strong>MATT STENTOFF (DISTRICT 1)</strong></p>



<p>I was born and raised in Scobey.&nbsp; After graduating from High school in &#8217;99, I attended Dickinson State University, where I met my wonderful wife, Melinda.&nbsp; While attending DSU, I joined the Montana Army National Guard (MTARNG) in 2001.&nbsp; I took a semester off to attend training, and before I could complete my degree, I&nbsp;was mobilized&nbsp;to Fort Bliss, TX in 2004.&nbsp; While on that mobilization, a job opening came up in Culbertson, MT&nbsp;to&nbsp;work full time for the MTARNG.&nbsp; I&nbsp;was selected&nbsp;for the job, and we moved to Culbertson upon my return from Ft. Bliss.&nbsp; I worked as an Active Guard Reservist for eight years and completed my bachelor&#8217;s degree online.&nbsp; In 2012, my unit&nbsp;was deployed&nbsp;to Afghanistan, and upon my return, I was looking for something closer to home to help on my family&#8217;s farm South of Scobey.&nbsp; The opportunity to buy an insurance agency (Lekvold and Associates in Scobey) came up, and we were able to return home.&nbsp; We moved back in 2014 with four kids (Addison, Aydan, Ava, and Arayah) and had one more (Alea) in 2018.&nbsp;</p>



<p>My priorities are God, Family, work, and hobbies.&nbsp; My hobbies include following my kids to their activities, helping on the farm, and&nbsp;being part of the MT Honor Guard, VFW, and American Legion.&nbsp; I cherish our small communities and want to do as much as possible to maintain the rural Montana way of life.&nbsp; I feel like CO OPs like Nemont are a big part of that, and I would like to do what I can to ensure it, along with all of the other businesses in NE MT, thrives.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>TRACY O&#8217;CONNOR (DISTRICT 2)</strong></p>



<p>Hello everyone! With all of the talk on the history of Nemont, I have taken a few moments to reflect on my time there.&nbsp; It&#8217;s hard&nbsp;for me&nbsp;to believe that I have been a board member for almost 10 years and Board Chair for three years. As they say, time flies when you&#8217;re having fun!</p>



<p>Thanks to the Members and Staff of Nemont, I have had an amazing opportunity to meet and work with great people in our footprint and around the country.&nbsp; It has been an amazing time to be a part of the Nemont family; it has been a fast-paced handful of years with many large projects that staff and management have completed and others&nbsp;that are&nbsp;being pushed&nbsp;across the finish line.&nbsp;</p>



<p>I have spent most of my life living in eastern Montana and am committed to serving our neighborhoods and way of life. I graciously serve on Nemont&#8217;s board with pride and with the members/owners&#8217; best interest in mind.</p>

<p><strong>MATTHEW GORDON (DISTRICT 2)</strong></p>



<p>My name is Matthew Gordon. I&#8217;ve lived in Poplar, MT, since 2009 with my wife and four children. I have worked for the Fort Peck Tribes since 2012. I love all things technology and believe that the Internet is the most important tool I have at my disposal. I am constantly learning more about wireless technology and firmly believe it is the future technology to connect everyone. I have a strong understanding of computers and other portable electronics such as phones and tablets. I have a bachelor&#8217;s degree in Social Work and understand how to work with people no matter what level of understanding they have. I believe that education on how to use technology and electronic devices is very important, and everyone should have access to that knowledge. I would like to create programs to educate people on how to use technology. I would be willing to work for the people to make Internet access affordable for everyone.</p>

<p><strong>GAIL FAST (DISTRICT 3)</strong></p>



<p>My husband, Ryan, and I operate the family farm, raising wheat, peas, and lentils. Our family resides 5 miles north of Glasgow. Together, we have six children: Colten, Mo, Roman Fast, Abby, John, and Ethan Engstrom. I was born in Glasgow (to Gilbert &amp; Marilyn DeSonia), raised in Nashua, and graduated from Nashua. I chose to stay in our community, working several jobs before starting my 12-year career with Nemont in 1999. I am forever grateful for the opportunities, education, and experience given to me during those years. In 2011, I chose to stay home to raise my three children and help on our family farm/ranch.</p>



<p>I am heavily invested in our community and enjoy contributing and giving back wherever I can. I volunteer on the Glasgow Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. I serve as a representative for District 3 on the Nemont Board of Directors.</p>



<p>My excitement and passion for what we do as a co-op, not only for our members but all our communities, goes without saying. Now more than ever, wireless devices and high-speed Internet are crucial to everyday life. We are connecting the middle of nowhere to everywhere. I wholeheartedly believe in Nemont, its employees, members, values, and services. Nemont’s accomplishments result from hard work, dedication, direction, and teamwork. Thank you to the employees, cooperative members, and fellow board members for their role in our continued success. I am incredibly grateful and appreciative for the opportunity to serve on the Board of Directors; it is an honor and a privilege. I am proud to be a part of the story.</p>

<p class="has-fine-print-font-size">(Nemont sets up at mobile store at the Roosevelt County Fair.)<br></p>



<p><strong>Scobey, Montana</strong>&nbsp;– Nemont Communications is proud to announce the success of its Fire Department Give-Back Campaign, held during this year’s four county fairs. For every qualifying mobile phone sold at our sales events, we donated $100 to local fire departments, empowering our customers to support their community in a meaningful way.</p>



<p>Throughout the county fairs, customers had the unique opportunity to choose from 23 community and rural fire departments to receive the donation funds. This initiative not only allowed us to offer quality mobile services but also to give back to the brave men and women who serve our communities.</p>



<p>“We believe in the importance of supporting local heroes,” said Gregg Hunter, PR &amp; Marketing Specialist at Nemont Communications. “Our Fire Department Give-Back Campaign is a testament to our commitment to community engagement. We are thrilled that our customers participated in this campaign and chose to support their local fire departments.”</p>



<p>The response from the communities has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to essential services that enhance safety and well-being in their neighborhoods.</p>



<p>“We appreciate Nemont Communications for their generosity and for recognizing the critical role fire departments play in our communities,” said Brandon Brunelle. “The funds raised through this campaign will directly support our operations and help us better serve our residents.”</p>
