Dear Community, Over the last year, our nonprofit, Siding 45, has raised over $112,000 to build a skatepark in Glasgow. Half of those funds came from Jeff Ament's foundation Montana Pool Service, and we aim to take advantage of more opportunities to bring outside money into our community. Our next step is to find a location for the park, and we are hoping to build it in Bundy Park. This idea has not been confirmed but last month the city council decided to look into the technicalities and...
Dear Editor, It's fairly common knowledge that Montana's legislative branch of government is a citizen legislature that only meets in session for 90 business days every two years. While true, those facts often lead to misconceptions about the real nature of legislators' work. In reality, the Legislature works year round. Being an effective legislator is much closer to full-time public service than a part-time job. Constituents regularly contact their elected representatives looking for...

The wheat harvest has been on hold for the past week. We'd had rain on the Monday of Labor Day weekend, which prevented our continued laboring. (We slept most of that day, catching up.) It rained again the next weekend, further delaying our returning to labor with a combine. The rain delays did not stop the harvesting in my garden. It did cause several of my cherry tomatoes to burst open upon picking, such that they had to be discarded. The ones that hadn't burst open were taken to the banquet...
1 Years Ago: Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2013 Garret Godwin's Eagle Scout project has brightened up the south side of Glasgow. He recruited volunteers to spread out Saturday and repaint fire hydrants. He heard at a City Council meeting that some faded hydrants were difficult to find, so it seemed like a worthy public service project to make them shine again. After a public hearing on Sept. 16, the Glasgow City Council proceeded with its proposed water rate increase of $5 per month, effective in Novemb...
