Valley County will apply for $5 million in federal monies to make improvements to Duck Creek Road via the Federal Land Access Program (FLAP). “It is available to us because it accesses federal lands,” Mary Armstrong, Valley County commissioner, said during a discussion and decision meeting at the courthouse on April 14. “We have agreed to provide a $50,000 match. A13.64% match is required.” US Fish and Wildlife Services will provide about another $267,000 for the project and the Army Corps of Engineers about $220,000, Armstrong said. “In exc...
Trying to find a balance between the livelihood of farmers and an ancient fish on the verge of extinction is not an exact science, but a best guess based on available data. Area farmers are worried about how a planned increase then reduction in water flow next year from Fort Peck Dam to stimulate the natural spawning cycle of the Pallid Sturgeon may result in expensive repairs or retrofits to irrigation systems. But, the flows may also allow the sturgeon to reproduce in Upper Missouri River Basi...
During their regular meeting April 14, the Glasgow School District Board of Trustees voted to increase activity fees for athletes at all schools. Board Chair, Mona Amundson, cast the sole dissenting vote. "Everybody is in tough shape right now, and I just have some concerns about raising the fees that much," Amundson said. According to Brenner Flaten, Activities Director, the district has not raised the fees since 2011, even as associated costs have increased. "Fees continue to go up all the...

I am sure that they were absolutely no danger to anyone, but I know that many parents played on their characteristics to scare their children. Mike Bluehorse was a friend...

It’s starting to feel like I’m living through the movie Groundhog Day: another Sunday heralding a return of colder weather, with the prospect of intermittent bouts of snow flurries thrown in for good measure. Early on Sunday, the sky to the west of us looked bruised. That’s the direction our weather usually comes from, although last week it came out of the east. I’m not really happy with what Mother Nature keeps throwing at us. Where are those April showers? Those are supposed to be rain, not snow! We need some May flowers to cheer us up. At...
