A new U.S. law went into effect at the end of 2019 prohibiting the sale of tobacco products to anyone under the age of 21. Local stores are complying with the change notifying patrons with signs at the register and on the doors as they walk in. “When a student is 18 or 19 years old, they could still be in high school and purchase products for themselves or friends. The increase in age is a real important start,” stated Valley County Health Department’s Tobacco Prevention Specialist Teri Long. “The increase in age hinders teenagers from purchas...

At its recent semi-annual meeting, trustees of the Glasgow High School Educational Trust awarded financial aid to seven GHS alumni who will be attending college or trade school during the spring 2020 semester. These seven are in addition to the 27 students who applied for and received awards last summer to help pay for both semesters of the 2019-2020 academic year. While this number is impressive, it could be and should be twice as high. With ever rising tuition and fees and growing student loan debt, financial aid from the GHS Educational...

We are in sunny Florida, visiting our middle daughter and her family. Don't be jealous. While it's sunny (for the most part - we did see lots of rain Saturday) and green, we're still experiencing some cold. But this cold is man-made. Our grandsons all play ice hockey. Maintaining ice here means lots of cold. The youngest grandson is seven. He is both a player and a goalie. In his jamboree yesterday, he only played goalie. He had four games, 20 minutes each, in Ellenton, spread over the entire...

The Glasgow Scottie wrestlers braved weather and distance to take on 31 different schools at the Tom LeProwse Bozeman Invitational on Jan. 3 and 4 for the first set of bouts in the newly minted 2020 year. When it was all said and done, Glasgow had amassed enough points - 94 in all - to finish in the top half of schools at 12th place. Out of Class B schools, however, the Scotties claimed the top slot, only falling behind a litany of Class AA and Class A schools such as Great Falls High, Billings...

Driving to town Sunday morning on our ice glazed roads made me think of days before four-wheel drive, front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles, like the days of using horses and the methods used for that type of transportation. My mind went to my early days and the things I can vaguely remember. That thought was immediately followed by thinking of all of those acquaintances around me that do remember those “winterizing” preparations that were carried out if you used horses or mules as teams for driving or as personal conveyance. Tod...
