Whether the Nashua School have a four-day or a five-day school week was first addressed two years ago. But because of the superintendent at that time leaving and a new superintendent coming in, the board voted to table the issue.

The pipeline would come through Valley County and pass by Glasgow, and could create jobs and bring tax dollars to the county. Arguments on the dangers towards... Full story
Did you ever know what you wanted to be when you grew up? It's a question that even as adults we tend to ponder. Had we known as teenagers what those jobs actually entailed would we have changed the path we were on? The thought behind learning from experience has helped Glasgow High School Principal Shawnda Zahara-Harris create the first-of-its-kind career fair this spring. She was able to gain a grant for $7,000 to create a hands-on job fair that will get the community involved. Not only will l...

Ahhhh, heat! Warm rooms. No need to have a blanket over my legs anymore when I’m sitting in my recliner. Not since Monday, when the new furnace we ordered was finally installed and turned on. The old wall furnace – I’m guessing its age at between 50 and 60 years – plus the wall furnace in the bedroom and the wall furnace in the room where the washer, dryer, refrigerator, and deep freezer are now completely retired. I turned up the thermostat on the bedroom furnace one bitterly cold night. No sooner had I returned to my cozy bed than I heard a...
