Students arriving at, and returning to, Irle School this year found themselves – once again – playing at Bundy Park for recess. The reason? The school's playground upgrade and expansion has fallen behind schedule due to weather, but is inching ever closer to completion and better accessibility for all the attending students. Currently, the expansion is finishing up with concrete work to the outer walking path and drainage upgrades to fix the issues with standing water before moving the bas...
Hi-Line Eye Care in Glasgow has helped meet the optometric needs of the community for five years, recently celebrating their anniversary on Aug. 4. Since opening their doors in 2014, owner and optometrist Dr. Haley Menge has provided many with not only the gift of better eye sight but also education on their overall health by just looking into their eyes. Dr. Menge, who is originally from Saco, decided to plant her roots in Glasgow after determining Shelby was not the right place for her and...
Dear Editor, As United States Senators representing the Big Sky state and Hawkeye country, older Montanans and Iowans keep a watchful eye on spending. Like millions of Americans across the country, they are mindful that they need to stretch their savings in order to pay the bills and uphold their quality of life in retirement. Whenever we hear from folks in Iowa or Montana, we hear widespread concern about the rising costs of prescription drugs. It's particularly upsetting to find out some...
Dear Editor, "We need to talk about suicide," teachers said choking back tears, or letting them flow, as they interviewed recently for Montana's Teacher of the Year award. They shared with us on the selection committee that student suicides hurt their hearts and devastate schools, and we need to bring the problem out in the open to solve it. That's what September's National Suicide Prevention Month aims to do – create suicide prevention awareness and reduce stigma of mental illness. It's a t...
Do you remember when shopping for groceries was much easier? I don’t remember that we were label conscious at all, unless we were shopping for salt or sugar-free diets. Present day shopping requires much more effort. Do I want to buy household vinegar, or pickling vinegar? What about baking soda; do I want this for laundry purposes or cooking? What about the choice in canned tomatoes? Those almost takes up half of an aisle in the grocery store. We used to just buy canned tomatoes, not chunked or cans of many different flavors, just tomatoes, an...

The weather seems as though it just doesn't want us to harvest our wheat. First the cool month of June delayed the start of the crop. Now the cool, wet August has delayed the ripening of the wheat. Yes, I know it's now September, but that cool, wet August is lingering. I want more summer. I'm not ready for fall. I'm afraid the wheat harvest is going to drag on until it seems like forever. The hours we can actually combine will be short. Last week I did manage to get all my onions and shallots...
