The Glasgow High School drama students and their advisors, Shyanne Wallace and Lizzie Peters, have been hard at work this year to revamp, redesign, reorganize and update the Glasgow High School auditorium, not only for their own sakes but also for future generations of Glasgow Scotties. At the start of the 2022-2023 season, the students combined all of the props, costumes and sets from the Middle School and found new homes for them at the high school so everything was together for future product...

Dear Editor, One of my favorite quotes, a personal hero of mine, is attributed to the late Theodore Roosevelt, when he stated, "In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing." Our family decided to move back to Glasgow with the confidence in our community to have the desire to move forward and evolve without sacrificing the values which are held so near and dear to many. Part of this...
Dear Editor, Breast Cancer Awareness Month is held in October with the aim of promoting screening and prevention of the disease. Also, effective October 1, is a new law which eliminates barriers to breast cancer diagnosis and provides a pathway to early treatment, without increasing your premiums. With 20 years as a physician's assistant, I saw it play out time and time again – the cost of additional imaging studies prevented patients from getting the breast ultrasound or MRI they needed to d...
As a past paramedic/firefighter I want to acknowledge another first responder that is rarely recognized or thanked. Recently one of our County Newspaper articles had a thank you given only to the police, fire and ambulance. We do not seem to value our Tow Truck Drivers. They too face the horrors of every bad accident scene; get called out at all hours of the night and work in the worst weather, longer than the other first responders. More Tow Truck Drivers are killed or injured every year on the...

Editor's Note: This column was submitted Sept. 24. Fall arrived with some measurable amounts of rain last week. That doesn't always happen. We'd finished our wheat harvest before this last wetting, plus there's some winter wheat planted, so the rain is making us happy. I have not yet finished harvesting good things from the garden. There are still potatoes and carrots to dig, as well as tomatoes and husk cherries (aka prairie gooseberries) to pick and enjoy. I've pulled all the moon flower plant...
