The Glasgow Scottie cross country teams continue to knock down their times as they gear up for the state meet this weekend in Missoula. "We feel good," said head coach Rod Karst. "We want to be running our best in October and the last few weeks shows that." Indeed, the Scotties have shaved time and run away with some top spots in their last few meets. In Harlem on Friday, the boys team claimed second place with 32 points behind a tough Wolf Point team with 28. The Glasgow girls snagged the top...
Hovering directly above the remains of a tyrannosaurid discovered in the Badlands of Valley County, helicopter pilot Rob Sperry needed to remain stationary as archaeologist Josh Chase connected a steel cable hanging from the Chinook to the steel frame on the ground containing the fossils. Not only did Chase need to be wary of the cable and hook –weighing in excess of 100 pounds and potentially becoming a wrecking ball – but of the electricity generated by the helicopter. "That helicopter gen...
Malta continues to be a problem without a solution for the Scotties on the football field. Glasgow played host to the third-ranked Mustangs this past Friday night and found themselves on the wrong side of 37-6 final score. Mental and small mistakes cost the Scotties in a game that went back-and-forth on turnovers while the Mustangs were able to convert on their possessions. Malta drew first blood midway through the first quarter when quarterback Connor Tuss connected with Spencer Gibbs for a...

With Montana State law prohibiting a COVID-19 vaccine mandate, and a potential Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) rule that would punish businesses with 100 or more employees for not mandating such vaccinations, applicable Valley County businesses may find themselves in a legal gray area. "I have had conversations with business owners and member of the Montana Chamber of Commerce, and obviously they are concerned they are going to be put between a rock and a hard place where -...

The collection also includes other publications in Valley County which no longer exist. It is quite the tr...
IRS Seeks Approval to Snoop There is an ongoing battle regarding the $3.5 trillion reconciliation plan proposed by the Biden Administration, which includes a provision that would require financial institutions, such as our credit unions, to report to the IRS transactional data for any account with at least $600 of inflows or outflows annually. This unlimited access to consumers' financial data should raise alarms for anyone with a bank or credit union account. First and foremost, this plan...
Democrats, led by President Biden, Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders and Nancy Pelosi, are rushing a reckless $3.5 trillion tax and spending spree bill through Congress that would reshape the very foundation of America and push the U.S. down the path of socialism. The Democrats' massive bill is the largest spending bill in our nation's history and will create all sorts of new entitlement programs. To pay for it, Democrats plan to hike taxes across the board, making this bill the largest tax...
Montanans overwhelmingly reject Critical Race Theory in our classrooms. Since Brown v. Board of Education, we’ve worked to live up to our founding ideals and we hold true to the principle of equal treatment for every student. President Biden’s controversial nominee to head the Department of Education’s extremely powerful Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Catherine Lhamon, instead wants to make sure every school in America implements and adheres to Marxist ideologies disguised as so-called antiracism teachings. Ms. Lhamon’s nomination stalled...
