Dear Editor, As an avid hunter and public land user, I dread the legislative sessions that come every other winter and that we are currently in the middle of. I regularly see legislators sponsoring bad legislation that disrupts years of work on bipartisan solutions or casts aside the opinions of the people that know the most about the issue. This is why I am so disappointed in Glasgow's current legislators, Representative Knudsen and Senator Lang. Knudsen is currently co-sponsoring HJ 18,...
Dear Editor, The Montana University System is made up of the public Montana colleges and universities working to support each other during this legislative session. One of the goals of Montana State University during this session is to obtain funding from the legislature to renovate Romney Hall.

The current Veterans Cen...
Dear Editor, Have you noticed that 'sustainability' is the latest buzz word related to ranching? Ever wonder what they are talking about? I have attended several workshops and read many articles in an attempt to determine what they mean by 'sustainable ranching.' To date I have not heard a specific definition. Generally, the ranchers on the panels will fall back on, "if the ranch has been around for over 100 years it is probably sustainable." However, after listening to the proponents of the pro...
Well it seems winter finally arrived with snow and zero temperatures. So I imagine that four-footed rodent was right. We are in for a few more weeks of winter. The winter of 1968-1969 saw a lot of snow. I remember that on a day in January of 1969 my husband went out to start the car so we could go to church. But we never made it there because with the temperature at 47 degrees below zero the car wouldn’t start. February of 1978 is still embedded in my memories. For me and my family we were snowed in for right at three weeks. That length of t...
Do you remember when the Class C Boys’ basketball tournaments were held in the Glasgow Civic Center? I think that schools were even let out for the event. Coming from a Class C school, it was a real treat to have friends that I could stay with and take in the tourney. I am sure that a pep bus was provided to take in the games, but actually staying in Glasgow for the games was a real treat. Were those type of events held in the Civic Center until the building of the new high school? I do remember the old high school having two gyms, the l...

We’re all still living in a deep freeze, aren’t we? I’d love to be able to go for long hikes outside rather than getting my exercise on the treadmill. The dangerously low temps as well as the impossibly deep snow are keeping me inside, though. Thank goodness for books to read on my small tablet that’s easy to hold while using the treadmill. I have ventured outside a few times. Snow got swept away from the front door before the wind packed it solid. The snowblower has gotten a couple of workout...
