When the western region of the International DN Ice Yachting Association (IDNIYA) decided to hold the North American regatta-dubbed the Twenty20 DN North American Championship-at Fort Peck Lake only two things were certain, this was the first time the race has ever been held in Montana and Fort Peck was the only sailable ice in the country. So the word went out the week before Jan. 20 that the races would begin Jan. 22 in Montana and ice yacht racers from as far away as Nova Scotia, Florida and...

Dear Glasgow School District Community Member, School funding formulas are complex and confusing. To simplify things, our district receives direct state aid payment equivalent to about 44 percent of our general funds. According to the Montana OPI document, "Understanding Montana School Finance and School District Budgets," the general fund is defined as the fund used to account for the financing of a district's operation and maintenance costs not accounted for in another fund. Some examples of...
Dear Editor, Dear City of Glasgow Police Department Attn: Chief of Police On the cold and snowy sub-zero Monday of Jan. 13, I had an appointment with the Motor Vehicle Department to renew my driver's license at 2:20 p.m. After completing the procedure with the very nice and professional technician Angela France, my car, parked on the street outside the office, wouldn't move forward very good and backward some. Teasing it through town and out on the highway to Jordan, moving so slow and awkward,...
Dear Editor, Senator Daines seeks to create better public banking. Postal Banking would help Montanans gain better access to banking services. Federal law requires one post office per zip code, but this isn't the same expectation for banks. US Postal Service can already complete banking services like check cashing and money orders; this bill would allow them to offer bank accounts and even offer short-term, small dollar loans. Representative Gianforte wants to stop robocalls by requiring...
Former Opheim woman Elena Salinas has sued the Valley County Sheriff’s Office and ex-Undersheriff Luke Strommen in connection to allegations that he sexually assaulted her at her home in December 2017. The lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court of Montana in December of 2019 since Salinas is now a North Dakota resident, accuses Strommen of coming to her house under the pretense of conducting law enforcement business as an undersheriff for the county and proceeded to physically and sexually assult her. The lawsuit goes on to a...

While shopping for fresh fruits and veggies last Thursday, I was greeted by a friend in the grocers. He accused me of being the cause of coming bad weather. (We did get snow flurries, a bit of rain, more heavy snow, and strong winds Saturday, causing icy roads Sunday.) He claimed the weather always turns nasty upon the return of the snowbirds. I protested that title, as we’d only gone south for a short vacation. That encounter prompted me to look up the official definition of snowbird. There are three: 1) birds that winter in cold climates, e...
