A creative way to use wooden pallets now lines several artistic displays at the new Wheat Grass Art Gallery located in Glasgow. The art gallery has hopes of rekindling the love of art in the community and providing a home for those in the region who want to display their talents. Mary Fahlgren, who opened the gallery, explained that this idea blossomed from the previous art gallery in Glasgow that closed. Currently she has nine regional artists who will have permanent spots to showcase their...
Humble and uncomfortable with extra attention, it's only a few words that friends and families described of one local volunteer. Words about being friendly, helpful and part of the family were heard on Monday at the Cottonwood. Marlene Yoss was honored at a luncheon, where county commissioners, clients, program directors and representatives from Sen. John Tester came to recognize the hard work of one woman. Yoss was noticed after 14 years of work as a senior companion, taking part from the...
A drug bust that took place in September is finally finding its way through the courts. Valley County sheriff’s deputies got a search warrant for a pickup that was pulled over on Sept. 8 and found marijuana, hashish, drug paraphernalia and oxycodone. The pickup was pulled over after the driver and two passengers returned from a trip to Oregon and Washington to purchase the drugs for distribution.

Do you remember your hand signals? Most of us were taught at some point how to signal traffic while riding a bike, but many never learned the proper way to signal to cars if you were heading left, stopping or making a right turn. Nashua kids, kindergarten through sixth grade, were given a short lesson at the end of the school year on the proper signals after they received a free helmet. Valley County Sheriff Glen Meier, Deputy Alex Esteves and Sherri Turner handed out the free helmets to 67...
While it hasn’t been confirmed by the Secret Service yet, First Community Bank Manager Deb Waarvik believes she spotted a counterfeit $10 bill. The counterfeit bill came from Western Drug in the store’s regular deposit. While the local business isn’t out a huge loss, it is a good reminder for businesses in the area to be aware and alert on the bills they take in. Waarvick explained that counterfeit bills tend to come through the area more in the summer and that local merchants should be aware of the money coming from people who aren’t from the...
I recently received an email newsletter from U.S. Rep. Daines, who is doing his very best to “protect and defend” in Washington, D.C. The subject was “Only the Iraqis can secure their future.” The letter went on to say and I quote directly, “Dear friend, Last night I voted for an amendment to the Defense appropriations bill to prevent more American troops in Iraq. “I strongly oppose sending more American troops to Iraq and believe only Iraqis can secure their future. “Iraqi leadership must address the concerns of their citizens from all sect...
*++++++++++++++++++ gvbhhhhhhj I'm not sure what the above line says. It was typed by my cat, Holly, who has no qualms about walking across my computer keyboard. At times she has signed me out of a website, brought up an ad, and typed comments in my chat room. One day I was reading an article about a little boy who was knocked off his bicycle by the neighbor's dog and how the boy's cat chased the dog away before it could bite the child. My cat was looking at the pictures and when she saw the one of the cat, she stretched out her paw and placed...
Remember when it was not uncommon to see livestock within the city limits of small communities, including Glasgow? Rural residents that moved into town during the school year often brought the milk cow and chickens along. These were animals that needed daily care as well as providing food for the families and chores for the kids. I can remember stories of measures taken to save these valuable animals during one of the big floods in Glasgow. There is a cute little house on the south side of Glasgow that was once a barn, with a loft, that housed...
If there’s one thing I love about summer, it’s the heat. Call me crazy, but growing up in Southern Idaho made me a desert rat. There’s nothing like heading out to a lake, river or creek on a hot day hanging out with a cold beer with your feet in the water. It seems those dog days of summer are still a few weeks off, as the rain is finally catching up and the storms roll through in June. While I might not be headed to the lake just yet for a little swimming and summer fun, it is time to prep for the season. Todd Tryne of Fish, Wildlife & Parks...

Justinn Marshall has had a love for riding horses all of her life. Growing up on a ranch in Saco, Marshall began riding at an early age.

After a last-minute change of venue, the 4th annual Aaron Chatten Memorial Softball Tournament was a big success. The Screaming Gophers of Frazer defeated F N' Classy of Sidney in the two-game championship by the scores of 19-7 and 23-12. "The tournament was probably the smoothest year we've had," said co-organizer of the tournament Brenner Flaten.

It wasn't pretty, but with the plethora of games the Glasgow Reds have been playing the last two weeks, it doesn't always have to be. The Reds added two more wins to their record as they took a pair from the Billings Blue Jays by the scores of 3-2 and 10-5. Jason Thibault went 2-3 with an RBI in the first game, while Keil Krumwiede went 2-4 at the dish and scored a run for the Reds. In the second game, the Reds bats came alive. Krumwiede continued his solid performance from game one by going...
In 1968 a T-33 jet trainer was moved from the Glasgow airport to a pedestal at the future site of the museum in Glasgow. The jet was donated to the city of Glasgow by the Aerospace Defense Command's 13th Fighter Interceptor Squadron on May 24, 1967, and it sat at the airport until it was moved in July 1968. It was placed to serve as a reminder of the bustling Air Force base that used to be where St. Marie is now....
