The agreement continues Glasgow's and Hinsdale's relationship as co-ops as the two...
It’s unfortunate, but recessions are a fairly normal part of the economic landscape. When a recession occurs, how might you be affected? The answer depends on your individual situation, but regardless of your circumstances, you might want to consider the items in this recession survival checklist: Assess your income stability. If your employment remains steady, you may not have to do anything different during a recession. But if you think your income could be threatened or disrupted, you might want to consider joining the “gig economy” or lo...
The amount of personal data we have floating around out there on the internet is staggering. Online banking, shopping, social media; all filled to the brim with email addresses, passwords, financial information and more. We take for granted simply logging into a site, taking care of something such as a purchase or a financial transfer, and reaping the convenience of such. The trust we place with these sites and services is that they’ll do a good job of keeping that data safe and private. What happens, then, when this trust is misplaced and a w...
We arrived back home in time to enjoy the last of the beautiful fall weather. (I do hope we get more, but I won't hold my breath.) Didn't we all enjoy a rare relatively warm (and snow-free) Halloween? Costumes didn't need to include snowsuits. We were away on my family reunion trip (and to see our youngest and her family) when those of you still here in lovely northeastern Montana got that first taste of winter's return. We saw the dregs of that first snow lingering in sheltered areas and on...
Divisional Tournament North Country kicked off their Divisional tournament with a four-set win over Jordan Nov. 3. NC 25 J 19 NC 24 J 26 NC 25 J 12 NC 25 J 11 We started this match out great. We fell a little out of sync in set two when Jordan won but we turned it around and really got our flow going in sets two and three. Jordan had a few really good servers that got rolling in set two which threw our attacking off a bit. Aces: Paige Wasson, Kendall Scheffelmear, Kora LaBrie, and Kennedy Simons...

Glasgow faced an uphill – and across-the-state – battle Nov. 5 when they faced the top-ranked Class B football team in the state in the state quarterfinals. The Bigfork Vikings ended the Scotties' postseason run with a 52-12 victory. Bigfork went big at home, building up a 14-0 lead by the end of the first quarter. The Vikings snatched a Glasgow pass just over halfway through the second and followed it with a march up the field to pad their lead. The Scotties, though, would not let the fir...

QPR stands for Question, Persuade, and Refer, the three simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide. The Hinsdale School is hosting a QPR presentation Wednesday, Nov. 16, 3:30 p.m., and it's open to the entire Hinsdale community.

Each year thousands of Americans, like you, are saying "Yes" to... Full story
