Gubernatorial candidate Greg Gianforte visited Glasgow and Malta on Feb. 10 to speak to supporters and members of the public. The stops were part of the candidate's Regulation Roundup tour, which will include 41 cities throughout the state. He pointed out that he has visited Glasgow eight times in the past six months. At Farm Equipment Sales in Glasgow, Gianforte addressed a small crowd and discussed the necessity of bringing good jobs to both the state and the region. The candidate also took...

Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital hosted the 12th Sara Bell Memorial Nursing Conference at the Cottonwood Feb. 11-12. The conference was organized by FMDH Director of Nursing Brenda Koessl to honor Dr. Gordon Bell's wife Sara Bell, who passed away several years ago from inflammatory breast cancer. According to Koessl, "We had extra slots open on day two of the conference so I invited the Glasgow high school science teacher and 11 of his students to attend." She added, "One high school science...
In early January, Tanja Fransen from the National Weather Service attended the 96th Annual American Meteorological Society meeting in New Orleans, La. While there, she presented a poster highlighting the public health impacts in NE Montana from our wildfire smoke events last summer. She also spoke to students about the importance of an integrated warning team between the NWS and its partners and then led two exercises with approximately 100 students who were able to learn from operational...
The Glasgow Scottie wrestlers did not disappoint at the state wrestling meet in Billings this past weekend. With just four wrestlers on the mat for Glasgow High School, the team placed 7th out of 45 total schools. In addition, all four who advanced to state placed in their weight class and each of them earned All-State honors. According to the Glasgow Scotties Facebook page, with the four placings at state, Gabe Hallock, Cody King, and brothers Mick and Matt Reyling make 260 state wrestling...
All teams start over with a 0-0 slate as tournament time descends upon the season. The District 2B basketball tournament, for both girls and boys, will open at GHS gymnasium this Thursday night, Feb. 18. On the boys' side of the ranking, as the regular season closed with Harlem upending Poplar on Saturday and both teams tying at 3-5, a tiebreaker determined that Poplar will be the 3-seed and Harlem 4-seed, according to Scottie head coach Norm Braaten. Therefore, Harlem and 5-seed Wolf Point...
Glasgow had a few tough games to finish out their regular season. Traveling to Malta Thursday night, the Lady Scotties faced Malta for the second time this season and recorded their second loss to the rival M-Ettes. Glasgow could not compete with the height and quickness of the M-Ettes, who shut down the Scotties offensively and defensively. With 28 turnovers in the game and a dismal 32 percent success at the free-throw line, the Lady Scotties failed to make an impression against the undefeated...
Kim Girard has been skating almost as long as she's been walking. She was born to a pair of professional skaters who taught skating and ice dancing, and began skating herself when she was two-and-a-half years old. Girard grew up in a skating family, spending many hours and days on the ice at rinks in Canada – one of which her parents managed when she was about five or six years old. As a matter of fact, Girard's mother was on the ice when she went into labor with her. "I guess teaching is in t...
I remember being a kid and having my mom telling me what could happen if I didn’t learn to be good. The very worst case scenario was to be put in jail and being fed only bread and water. I couldn’t even imagine! Bread and Water only. I could envision the glass of water, but I was never sure in my mind if your bread would come cut into pieces, or just one big slice. The good point was, it was probably homemade bread. Some years later I lived in the small town of Opheim and got to see the local jail on a daily basis. Yes, I was even in it onc...
First off I want to tell Hillary that the word protect is not pernounced pertect in polite sirkuls. Hillary tries so very hard to use good speech. Sometimes so much so that she comes across as being phony. Hey! I’m certainly not perfect as the 16.7 readers of Thanks For Listening can tell you. I’m not running for the highest office in the world (although I probably should be) but I think those who are should have proper language skills and enunciation. Trump can be exempt because he’s not trying to be anyone but himself. I watched the Democ...
I’ve been gathering some background information on our Constitution as regards the Supreme Court. This was considered so very important by the drafters of the Constitution that it is in the Second Article. It says of the President: “ … he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate … shall appoint Judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall also be established by law … “ Since Justice Antonin Scalia died unexpectedl...
It is interesting to watch the American Prairie Reserve ramp up its public relations effort by bringing out their top gun, Sean Gerrity. His recent letter to the editor perpetuated the myth that bison magically time control their grazing. If this were true, why did Lewis and Clark find such poor condition range land in their travels through this country? Sean, the difference between commercial bison herds and your herd is not numbers but the fact they manage their animals. You will learn, as many of them did, that unmanaged ungulates will...
This ‘60s group The Animals’ song rings in my head. I look back on my letters in response to Mary Honrud with the thought that instead of coming off passionate and loving I might be taken as an uncompromising ideologue who isn’t willing to listen to the other side. I have been so troubled by this I could not come up with anything else for my letters, often giving up on the ideas I had as they spiraled back to that concern. I’m just a soul whose intentions are good! Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood! So with the knowledge that I ca...
I’m ordering a latte in downtown Missoula. Behind me in line a young man has a yoga mat slung over his shoulder. Behind him, a woman in a suit dress. My barista is young and cheerful; I tip my change plus a buck. The only thing wrong with this picture are the walls. They are decorated with ugly, mass produced images. Not art. Not even paintings. Purchased, boring frame filler. In Missoula, arguably the Montana city with the most local artists, this is inexcusable. There and in other cities where I’ve lived, local businesses not supporting local...
