In a press release issued last week, the State Commission on Sentencing said it was recommending that lawmakers close the psycho-sexual evaluation loophole in mandatory sentencing for rape cases involving children under 12 years of age. Currently, state law calls for a 100 year sentence, of which 25 years must be served in prison for all such cases. However, a judge may grant a lesser sentence than the 25-year minimum if a psycho-sexual evaluation, conducted by a certified provider, finds that a community based treatment program would serve...
Holocaust survivor Eva Mozes Kor will be speaking in Glasgow at 7 p.m. on Nov. 1 at Glasgow High School. Eva has appeared to discuss history and her own story all over the world, including Germany, Israel and Poland. In 1944, Eva and her family were forced into a cattle car packed with other Jewish prisoners and transported to the Auschwitz concentration camp. At age 10, Eva and her sister Miriam became part of a group of children used as human guinea pigs in genetic experiments under the direction of the infamous Dr. Josef Mengele. Along with...

According to his application for the...
Since taking over the directorship of Two Rivers Economic Growth in August, TeAra Bilbruck has been ratcheting down the organization's focus. Bilbruck got her start working to help improve the community with the Chamber of Commerce shortly after graduating from GHS in 2009. The job also allowed Bilbruck to make useful connections as well. She gained a wealth of knowledge on how to boost business and how to draw people into the area with well-planned events. Bilbruck takes great pride in being...
Cape Air, Montana’s essential air service carrier, announces its return to a non-stop schedule on both Sidney and Havre routes effective Monday, Oct. 31, 2016. In April 2016, due to a pilot staffing shortage, Cape Air adjusted its non-stop scheduled service in Montana to include stops on both Havre and Sidney routes. The Havre route included one inbound and outbound scheduled stop in Glasgow each Thursday, while the Sidney route was affected with one daily inbound and outbound scheduled stop in Glendive. Both the Havre and the Sidney routes w...
Mike Lang and candidate for State Auditor Jesse Laslovich visited with voters on Oct. 24 at Farm Equipment Sales in Glasgow. The candidates may represent different parties (Lang is a Republican and Laslovich is a Democrat), but the two shared common ground on several issues on Monday night. To help improve the economy in eastern Montana, they agree that Montana's resources, including coal, should be harvested. Laslovich is running for State Auditor, a position which watches over insurance...
I was in Billings recently when a young woman, Devin, told me a story that happens all too often. Devin’s daughter, Brooklyn, had cancer, and her husband routinely had to make the hard choice between working shifts at his job to put food on the table or going to their daughter’s doctor appointments. Devin and her husband are looking for solutions, but instead all they see is politicians standing in the way of doing what’s right. I’ve heard many stories like Devin’s while traveling across Montana over the past year in my run for our state’s l...
Few issues on this year’s ballot seem as innocent as Constitutional Initiative 116. The proposed amendment to the Montana Constitution would create a set of codified rights for crime victims. It also has the potential to be one of the biggest changes to the constitution since it was ratified in 1972. Who could oppose that? Derek VanLuchene, president of the Helena-based non-profit Ryan United, said the initiative, also known as Marsy’s Law, would ensure crime victims have a legally required voice in criminal proceedings. “I think CI-116 would...
My childhood is filled with wonderful memories of the teachers in Helena Public Schools who inspired me to think creatively and strive to learn more, and ultimately led me back to Montana and the Helena School District as an elementary teacher and instructional coach for the last 12 years. Today, I’m still inspired by the amazing teaching and learning that goes on in Montana’s public schools. It’s what inspired me to become your next state superintendent of public instruction. Touring the STEM lab here in Glasgow reinforced my belief that...
Recent news articles concerning internet scamming of sites that a lot of online shoppers use makes me remember earlier days and methods of shopping and banking. First, I am sure that our parents and grandparents could never have visualized that we would one day order so many necessities for our lives with just the click of a button. Of course, past generations had the convenience of mail order catalogs, but that required the accompaniment of a check. Checks couldn’t be used in a scam like our credit and debit cards of today. Of course, the s...
When I first came to Montana more than 40 years ago, I fell in love with the natural beauty and the people. I knew, back then, that I wanted to make a life in Montana. When my wife and I founded a technology company in our home in Bozeman nearly two decades ago, people told us that a global business could not succeed in Montana. They told us the state was too rural, they told that we didn’t have good enough connectivity, they told us that we couldn’t attract qualified workers. Well, we proved the naysayers wrong, and built a business that grew...
A few days ago a commercial on television was of two young boys talking. One asked, “What is that?” The reply came, “I don’t know. Google it.” It made me stop and think. When I was young and I would ask my parents what something was, they told me to look it up in the encyclopedia. Which meant I had to go to the library to get my question answered. And in writing papers in high school, the encyclopedia was well used for my research. The commercial also made me wonder what it will be like in another 10 or 20 years when a child asks, “What is...
Responding to... I think it is only fair to point out that many Christian leaders, ordained and laity, do not support a presidential candidate who displays misogyny, uneven temperament, lack of diplomacy, inexperience in governing, adultery, disrespect for our foreign allies, lying (proven by legitimate fact-finders) more than he accuses his opponent of lying and is very divisive. Compared to these factors and more, the use of crude language is, indeed, a triviality. As for Mr. Neil’s letter, I am still trying to get my mind around the c...

A memorial service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 28 at the First United Methodist Church in Glasgow with Pastor Howard Pippin officiating. Inurnment will take place at Hillview Cemetery in Hinsdale at 12:00 p.m. A reception and celebration of life will follow at the American Legion Post 45 in Hinsdale, where she was a proud member for 70 years and a Gold Star mother. She was born in Glasgow,...
The Scotties put on quite a show in Malta Oct. 21. Facing the rival Malta Mustangs on their home turf can be daunting, but the Scotties left it all on the field in an exhilarating win for the title of 2B conference champions. At times, it was an uphill battle, as Glasgow was assigned 17 penalties during the game, while Malta only received two. The Scotties' stellar moments, however, more than compensated for the less than balanced penalty distribution. Cade Myrick started things off with a...
The Scottie cross country runners crossed the Hi-Line to compete at the state meet in Kalispell on Oct. 22. Led by senior runners Morgan Guttenberg, Brinlie Nielsen and Kasey Seyfert, they fell short of bringing home hardware, with the girls' team placing sixth overall and the boys' team finishing just one place away from a trophy in fourth. Each Scottie runner placed in the top half of all competitors at the meet. Leading the way for the girls was sophomore Brooke Westby, who placed 24th out...
Glasgow vs. Malta After a three game sweep over Malta, the Glasgow volleyball team remains undefeated in conference play, setting themselves up for a nice start to the District 2-B tournament. During the match, the Scotties fired more than a few tough serves over at the M-ette's and kept them out of their game, somewhat. In addition, Glasgow generated some offense that added a nice pace to the game. Good decisions regarding defense and setting solidified the entire effort. Every Scottie saw...
