After receiving the go-ahead by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on June 6 for TransCanada to continue construction on the Keystone XL pipeline project, ruling the issues associated with the previous permit are no longer valid since President Trump issued a new permit in March, opponents of the project are continuing the fight to ensure construction of the project remains blocked. On July 10, attorneys for environmental groups against the project, including Northern Plains Resource Council and the Sierra Club, made a request to again...

Nick Knight, owner and entrepreneur of Cherry Creek Gear Shop at 239 4th Ave S., Glasgow, never thought of himself as a bike shop owner.

Dear Editor, I just found out something and I wonder how many of you knew that on June 25, 2019, Governor Bullock ordered the state flag removed and replaced so he could fly the gay pride rainbow flag at our State Capitol for the weekend. House Speaker Greg Hertz and Senate President Scott Sales called the decision "an unmistakable act of disrespect to our State and the people and institutions we serve and beneath the office of the governor." I agree with them. I would like to know what gives hi...

Dear Editor, We must keep working to lower prescription drugs prices in Montana. After conducting a nearly two-year investigation into drug costs, including taking several major players to court in order to access information, my team and I brought forward a bill that we projected would save Montanans about $8 million on medications in the first year alone. Our approach to reforming one part of the massive pharmaceutical system has now been copied by the U.S. Senate and states like Maine, which recently passed their version of our bill...
Do you remember your swimming days of the past? I grew up in a small town and the country. No access to a swimming pool. I never did become a good swimmer, but some of us in the North Country spent a few summer days at the “Post.” The “Post” had to be the Poplar River—funny how you don’t remember some things. As I recall this was part of the US/Canadian border. I know that it did not involve going through Customs so I am assuming the river was not an issue. I must see if I can make my way up there someday to refresh old memories. This area w...
Everything begins on a foundation. What is true for wrestling is also true for the building that will house the club going into the future. Pictured above, Gregg Hunter presents a check from Nemont Wireless for $5,000 to the Glasgow Wrestling Club to help with building their new wrestling facility. When said and done the new building – located near the Glasgow Middle School – will feature a three-mat training room. According to Glasgow School's Athletic Director, Brenner Flaaten, the fac...

This past week I've spent a fair amount of time tidying up in and around the garden. I have installed a new battery in my solar powered electric fence, so I don't need weeds around the perimeter touching the wires and draining the power from that battery. Even though I've installed weed block cloth on three sides, the weeds beyond that cloth will get tall enough for the wind to blow them into the fence. When that happens I can hear the fence zapping whatever's touching it. Most of the ground on...
It was early Friday morning, July 12, and 200 boats had filled the waters of the Fort Peck Marina waiting for their wave to get flagged out. The skies were clear and the winds were slight as the cannon sounded the official start of the tournament and a team of volunteers waved the boats on by. By the end of the weekend, all 200 boats will have landed fish, averaging over 3.5 lbs per fish, topping out with the largest walleye landed at 12.7 lbs and over 32 inches. "A ton of nice fish were...

With a home-field advantage, the Dodgers swept the Reds, 5 to 2 in the first game and 19 to 0 in the second game. In the first game, the Dodgers got on the board right away with two runs in the bottom of the first inning, and the Reds decided to tie it up during the top of the fifth inning. However, Laurel didn’t want the chance of being beat, so they scored three runs in the sixth inning, securing the win. Despite out-hitting the Dodgers six to f...
