Most young people think they are invincible, they can't be scathed, their actions won't hurt anyone. The "ghost-out" held at the Glasgow High School, April 20 was meant to change these perceptions of the local high schoolers. As many drove into school that day, they saw an overturned car, with first responders on the scene. The local emergency departments received this as a real dispatch call. Fortunately, it was a mock accident, but many students were unaware at first. This was the first...
Nashua's school board met in regular session April 19, in the library of the school and just over two dozen people were in attendance. Following the Pledge of Allegiance, roll call and approval of some routine items, Chairperson Dale Pugh opened the meeting to public comment. Ray Yoss, former Nashua resident and business person, addressed the board with concerns he had regarding one of the board members and their spouse; specifically, about posts on Facebook, some of which were allegedly critical of him. Chairperson Pugh thanked Yoss for his...
On April 8, the Montana Board of Crime Control (MBCC) presented its 2016 Program Highlight to the Eastern Montana drug prosecution coordinator, a program previously located in Glasgow. The Program Highlight honors statewide or community-based criminal justice programs that merit recognition for providing effective services to address public safety-related issues. The program was established to serve as an expert resource to provide assistance to law enforcement, prosecutors and judges of...

These 6” square canvasses can currently be viewed in businesses around town, such as The Busted Knuckle, Glasgow Flower and Gift, and The Loaded Toad. As well as the Art Squares, a live “quick draw” event with local artists will take place with those finished pieces going up for bid as well by t...
I have gone back and retread my last sewing notions column. I fail to see where I was promulgating the “Absolute Relativism” that Mr. DePuydt seems to have read into it. (He also mentions “Natural Law” being thrown out. Apparently I have greater powers than I was aware of. I’m not even sure what he means by this.) I will agree that different people see things differently. What is natural to one is abhorrent to another (and this works both ways). As a friend of mine often said, “You can’t legislate morality.” What is true for one is not necessar...
I’ve been bitten. Bitten by the spring cleaning, gardening, yard cleaning, flower planting and painting bug. Several weeks ago, I purchased a small picnic table that has three benches. The benches are gray -- but not for long. As soon as I can, they will each be painted a different, bright color. Each board that makes up the table will also be painted in different colors so that when I’m done, I’ll have a rainbow table and benches. The white patio table is going to receive a new coat of paint as well. And it’s going from white to silver....
I must have pulled a Rip Van Winkle! It is hard to realize that it has been almost 40 years since I became involved with the Pioneer Museum. It has been a wonderful experience. About 1977 or so, Irma McInerney and Gladys Silk approached me about becoming part of the Historical Society. Having always had a love of history, it sounded like a good fit for me. A little bit of background on the museum. The Diamond Jubilee of the county we all celebrated in 1962 was when the people became aware of the need for a museum in Valley County. One of the...
Do you remember when the “Cops” walked their beat? That is a phrase from the past, as I am not sure just what the word “beat” meant, but I assume it would be a designated area they patrolled each day or night. That was back when the young ones were taught that policemen were their friends. I know that there were a number of men who served our city and county as police officers, but there are several that come to my mind, those being Mr. Abern, Mr. Sather and Mr. Baynum. My husband often shares a memory of his first exposure with local policem...
The Republican field with 17 candidates pursuing the GOP nomination was referred to as a great bench. Some we knew, many we did not. I listened to Trump’s announcement of his candidacy and he immediately got my attention after seven plus years in which I perceived that the Federal Government was at war with US citizens. It was nice to see someone speaking out forcibly with no concern for political correctness. “I’ll make America great again, I will build the wall and make Mexico pay for it and the problem we have are stupid people making the d...
As Montanans look to enjoy the great outdoors this spring and summer, Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) and local public health officials urge everyone to follow a few simple steps to prevent tick bites and their illnesses: Limit, repel and inspect. State public health officials receive an average of eight tick-borne illness reports every year, the most common being Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Tularemia and Colorado Tick Fever. “The best defense against tick-borne illnesses is by spraying your legs, ankles, pants,...
Scottie softball traveled to Havre for a Thursday evening game against the Blue Ponies. The Scotties came out swinging and captured the lead early with runs in the first and second innings. The teams battled back and forth through seven innings, but the Ponies were not able to outplay the Scotties, and trailed the entire contest. The bats were hot with Khloe Krumwiede, Kennedy Schmidt, Abbi Kolstad and Ziggy Chamberlain all getting two hits, and Kiauna Barstad finishing with three. Glasgow...
Head Scottie football coach Greg Liebelt’s staff will have a noticeably different look for the 2016 season than in recent years with the replacement of three staff members from the 2015 season. New coaches Greg Franklin, Josh McCrossin and Ryan Hartwell (pending May board approval) will lend their expertise and energy to returning assistant and defensive coordinator Trint Gamas and volunteer Levi Sugg. Two veteran assistants, Bryan Krumwiede and Ed Sugg, have stepped down, in addition to one-year coach Tom Daniels, who moved away after the 2...
With four meets in the books, the Scottie track and field team continues to perform well and qualify athletes for the state competition. The Scottie boys placed second overall – probably the best they could do when competing against hotshot Kelly Murnion from Garfield County and the pole-vaulting powerhouse Garrison Hughes from Sidney. Murnion swept the sprints for the boys, and Hughes put on a show for the crowd when his top vault cleared 14' 08" – more than 3' higher than any other vau...
