With 61 percent of the total number of voters participating, Valley View Home claimed a win in the Sept. 7 election to approve a temporary mill levy to fund the home over the next two years. With final vote totals counted, 1,571 people supported the levy, and 1,154 voted against the measure. The ten mill levy will raise roughly $300,000 a year for the nursing home over the next two years, and will increase tax payer burdens by $13.50 per $100,000 of property value per year. The generated revenue is to be used for operating expenses and... Full story
Valley County Commissioners decided last week to have the Magruder property appraised and to possibly auction off the property. The long time home for the farmer’s market was acquired by the county as tax deed land. The county had offered the land to the city, which declined to take it for unspecified reasons. The farmer’s market will still continue after the property is sold at auction and will take place at the fairgrounds, who is eager to accommodate them. City Court will be relocating to a new location in the basement of the courthouse ann... Full story
Tanner Gene Cook (20) is facing an assortment of charges related to an incident on the northwest side of town on Sept. 8.

Following the arrival of a second officer, Cook allegedly struck the latter officer with a metal object. The officers then subdued and a... Full story
With a mission to expand computer science opportunities to every K-12 school in Montana, the Gianforte Family Foundation makes Glasgow High School the most recent recipient of funding for a PiLab computer science program. The low-cost computer system, called a Raspberry Pi, is a computer the size of a credit card. Combined with keyboards, mice, monitors and the necessary software and programs stored on an SD card, the result is an affordable PiLab that is ideal for teaching computer science. “We are very excited to see Glasgow kicking off i...

Thirty years ago, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed that September 11th would be known as 9-1-1 Emergency Day, in recognition of first responders and the tireless dispatch staff that ensures our citizens have access to quickly summon emergency services. It is important for all of our citizens to understand the role that the 9-1-1 system and the dispatch program has in emergency response situations. It was 1968, when 9-1-1 was designated the universal emergency telephone number in North America. The goal for the program has always been to... Full story
Pilots from around the region descended on the Fort Peck Hotel and Lanny Hanson’s hanger on Sept. 8. The three-day training included talks, case studies, on the ground training (no pun) in survival techniques, search pattern recognition, spotter techniques and the utilization of iPads and GPS technologies. All together, the 29 attending pilots logged three hours each in a high-performance plane practicing search techniques. The training was the first of its kind held in eastern Montana, according to former Sheriff Glen Meier, who attended t... Full story
Just want to say how much I enjoy Elizabeth Shipstead’s column [“Rural Sisterhood,” Hi-Line Farm & Ranch]. While she obviously tries to think positively, we all know the ag life can be a challenge, to say the least....
I have concern over the fact that a group from Helena is looking into getting Amtrak to stop the northern Empire Builder route along the Hi-Line and diverting the train on a southern route through the state to get more “tourists” to Helena. I would like this group to take my following remarks into consideration before they proceed. The Hi-Line, especially eastern Montana, is the most remote area in the state. We do not have access to interstate highway without considerable travel. We do not have access to bus lines. Our essential air ser...
I’m writing because I can’t sit silent while radical Republicans in DC rip away the safety net supporting working people. As a caregiver, I care for the sick and elderly, helping them live day to day. Because of my low wages and changing hours, I also rely on the SNAP program to make my budget stretch. I get $80 a month for food stamps. It’s a small amount but that helps offset my water bill. We were on TANF for a couple years to support two young kids, before my husband was able to move into a full time position, and I found a full time job a...
So I am usually kind of proud of how we as a state have to keep a balanced budget, and cannot over spend our capability pay. It is a fruitful endeavor for sure when applied with the logic and foresight of a well-crafted budget. What I do not support, however, is the arbitrary and hardship inducing budget cuts that loom in our state’s near future. As of this month, the state is ordering 10 percent budget cuts across the board from all its state agencies. That means that MDT, DOJ, DMA, and every other agency will share in cuts arbitrarily a...
On Labor Day this year, we attended the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Lauckner Farm. There were 120 people who signed the guestbook. Those who were there exchanged memories of the Lauckner family from over the years. It may have even been the first time some of these memories were discussed. As we were on our way home, I marveled at the number of 100th anniversaries that have and are planned to take place in this area. Last year, Wagner Farms celebrated 100 years. Several years ago so did Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Nashua. Th...

Following two fairly intense competitions held in Williston and Billings, the Scottie cross country team was in Malta for a more low-key race on Sept. 9. The course, which was held at the golf course, consisted mostly of moderate rolling hills with stretches of even path for the runners to navigate. Likely the most difficult part of the course for the competitors was the slight incline just before the finish line. The varsity boys easily defeated their competition, scoring 34 points to win the... Full story

It was a close margin, but the Scottie volleyball team racked up another win on Sept. 7, against a very scrappy and determined M-ette team. With the exception of the first set, the entire match was a real battle as both teams saw wide swings in emotional strength and physical endurance. Lead changes were the norm, nerves wreaked some havoc and both teams had moments of brilliance and determination. The scores tell the story well: 25-12, 17-25, 25-20, 21-25, 17-15 The GHS C squad fell to Malta... Full story
