Like most states and local jurisdictions, Daniels, Roosevelt, Sheridan and Valley counties and the state of Montana are not immune to hazards that may affect their communities. Each year brings new concerns and an increasing probability of a natural or man-made disaster, such as severe storms, flooding and tornadoes. The dramatic increases of severe hazard in the 21st century compounded by the influx of nontraditional and vulnerable populations in eastern Montana creates a situation ripe for disaster. Whether it be an aging population, the...

Through Charlie Brown and the Peanuts Gang, we have learned valuable lessons on friendship, being kind, persistence, self-image, overcoming fear, and doing...
The Glasgow High School ceramics class was lucky enough to collaborate on an artistic project of a literary kind with Mrs. Klind's kindergarten class recently. Fittingly, the results are now on display at the Glasgow City-County Library. The ceramics class first visited the kindergarteners where they read the children's book, I Need My Monster by Amanda Noll. It's a book about Gabe the monster, who takes the night off to go fishing, and his friend Ethan, who can't sleep without Gabe's scary...

Imam Said Shakir told the New York Times, under the headline “US Muslim Cleric Seeks Modern Middle Ground.” (A closer look at Said Shakir will show that his birth name was Ricky Mitchell and he was raised in Connecticut and Georgia.) Imam Shakir went on to say, “Every Muslim who is honest would say, I would like to see America become a Muslim Country.” Not every Muslim thinks like Shakir, I hear your bleeding heart tell me. I know that. However, it took just 19 or so of them to kill over 3,000 Americans on 911. And here’s yet another thought o...
Letter to the People of Glasgow The Flint Michigan water crisis sprang from government officials’ decision in April 2014, to switch the city’s water source temporality and use water from the Flint River (once an industrial dump site) as a cost-cutting measure. Flint regulators failed to ensure the water was treated properly and lead from aging pipes leached into the water supply. I would like to assure our water users that the city of Glasgow Water Department routinely monitors the quality of the city’s drinking water according to Federal and S... Full story
Different for Different People: Your feminism may be different from mine, but overall, it is the fight to break down walls of gender stereotypes and to obtain equal opportunities for all. Especially for women, because, you know, oppression. NOT About Hatred: Feminism is a lot of things, and it’s quite hard to define in a short-ish blog post, but it most certainly isn’t about hating men or thinking women are “better.” And it definitely isn’t about looking down upon women who choose to abide by more traditional women’s roles, either. It’s about...
Glasgow's golfers were in Malta for the Whitewater Invitational on Saturday, April 16. The lady Scotties earned some hardware when they tied with Plentywood for first place with a team total of 359. Leading the scoring for the girls was senior Amy Nelson with 112, followed by Lauren Runningen, 121; Heidi Moon, 126; Lexi Pehlke, 132. For the boys, Cody Ross took the top spot for Glasgow with a 98. Max Carpenter and Blaine Myrick each shot a 108, and Oden Hallock finished with a 110. The Scottie...
With springtime weather and availability of venues both frustrating schedules, pulling off a full middle school track meet is equal parts good timing and better luck. A number of area schools had both factors working in their favor last Saturday, at the Nashua Porcupine Invitational track meet held at Glasgow High School’s track. Glasgow’s thinclads turned out only 7th graders for the meet. The reason is that only 6th and 8th graders will compete at next week’s Culbertson Invitational, so allowing 7th graders to compete at Nashua’s meet gi...
The parking lot of GHS was full of cruisers once again for the Qualifier Meet held Monday, April 18. “The idea [of a qualifying meet] is to limit athlete's events and give them a chance to qualify for state by achieving the standards in their events, “ said head coach Tim Phillips. With 22 schools making the trek to participate, the competition was tough. The Scottie girls were able to qualify the 4x400 relay with a time of 4:17.00, and Benji Phillips threw the javelin for a qualifying toss of 195' 01”. Phillips had already qualified for the e...

Zeiger, a 2014 GHS graduate, is currently pursuing a degree in...
