In 2004, a group of teenagers started a goal of creating a skatepark in order to pursue their passions in the sport. A board was created, and with the assistance of parents and other involved community members, the park was created on the Fairgrounds property. In 2007 a concrete pad had been poured and ramps were installed. As these teenagers grew up and graduated from high school, the interest to maintain and upkeep the property weaned off, with the property becoming bygones of the past. This past summer, the skatepark was closed off from...

I saw in item on Facebook the other day that featured a roll of “caps,” wondering if anyone remembered what they were. Of course, most of us would remember, as most of my generation had a cap gun at one time or another. Now to get a little personal, we have one today. It is a small little pistol looking gun. Of course, I had to order ammo for it. The rolls of caps are not what they use to be! The roll is a little narrower, and the percussion dots much closer together. This tells me that I may still be able to purchase these fun toys if I wer...
The Valley CARE Coalition proudly presents stories from Valley County residents who have struggled, continue to struggle, or have found peace surrounding mental health, substance use disorders, or behavioral health. Battling this is a symbol of strength and courage and should be highlighted as such. My dad is an alcoholic and relapsed after 20-ish years when I was 16. I was in denial for about a year before it just wasn’t a possibility anymore. It was painful but keeping myself busy and coming home mostly to sleep helped keep it at the back o...
Frank Vandall is the Wheatgrass Arts & Gallery Artist of the Month. His show will be available to view through Nov. 30, at 523 2nd Ave. So., Glasgow. Vandall is a self taught artist in drawing and acrylic paintings working not from reference photos, but from visions in his memory bank.

Yet, Frank can also...

On Oct. 28, Congressman Matt Rosendale sent a letter demanding that the Montana Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) reverse their position on livestock grazing on land allotments in Montana.

The letter was sent to Judge Veronica Larvie, Administrative Judge for the Department of Interior’s Office of Hearings and Appeals, and Tracy Stone Manning, Director of the Bureau of Land Management. At the helm at BLM, Ms. Manning...
The number of things which we routinely interact with as hobbies, through work, or just in day-to-day life are rapidly becoming more and more digitally augmented. Connected homes, smart variations of devices we’ve used for years and the ever lower barriers to entry when it comes to smartphones and tablets. Even this very newspaper article is available in a digital manner! One area which has always had a solid relationship with technology is art, with one influencing the other throughout the course of history. What happens when the lines b...
I'm afraid winter is here to stay. Our Opheim snow-birds have or are preparing to fly the coop. The last of the couples have just deserted us for warmer climes. I can't blame them. I'm starting to dream of our annual Christmas trip to sunny Florida. I won't miss this brutal cold or that blanket of snow. The two days of ice-fog up here did make everything sparkly and pretty. But sparkly and pretty isn't at all warm. I'm sure the deer that are dining on my lilacs (the leaves didn't get a chance to...

The High School Ice Dawgs returned to the rink for the first time this season at home with two games against the Salmon (Idaho) Rapids. The Dawgs dammed the Rapids in both games: 10-3 Friday night followed by a 10-0 shutout Saturday morning. The first few minutes of the game Friday evening looked to belong to the visiting Rapids but momentum quickly shifted to the Ice Dawgs. Once they took control of the puck, the game belonged to the Dawgs. Aiden Price kicked off the Dawgs' onslaught with an ev...
