On Burr and Vaupel A while back I was tempted to write with a niggling complaint about Patrick Burr's reporting on a city council meeting. At that time I was left wondering if he was reporting the news or writing a novel. The wording was too ornate and confusing for what should have been a "just the facts, ma'am" report. I'm glad I didn't, as he's shaping up quite nicely. His reporting is much clearer, with fewer $10 words and flowery phrases. His latest report, about the mural at the post office, did revert a bit to that, but it was a delight...
Editor's Note: Our correspondence is growing! Beginning next week, extended commentary and columns directed at individual readers, columnists and/or staff will be included in a separate "Commentary" section reserved for discussion. "Fire Truck Clarification" I just wanted to make sure that people understood the ballot in regards to the new proposed fire truck. A “YES” vote means that you are not in favor of the assessment (you are protesting it). A “NO” vote means you are in favor of the assessment and the city can move forward in purchas...

The 84 teams, including nine from Regina, Sask., exceed last year's total of about 80 and will compete at five Glasgow venues. With eight members per team, that's 672 players and maybe another 1,500 folks and volunteers here for a little roundball in G-Town. “I'd like to see somebody do an economic impact study on the tournament and what it brings in to our community,” organizer Tom Schmitt told The Cou...
Picturing what you want downtown to look like might differ from what your neighbor wants. Getting an idea together that will fit the entire community is a challenging task, but Matthew Rohrback of Land Solutions, the company that won the bid on the downtown revitalization plan for Glasgow, said that so far that process has been fairly smooth. They met with the planning board and discussed what's in store for the plan. Their first step has already started to take shape, assessing the needs of the community through interviews and public input....

July • While the flood of 2011 is still a topic of conversation, necessary repair work at Fort Peck Dam is ongoing. Even though several repair projects have been completed, the U. S.

Downstream dams along the Missouri River are also undergoing flood repairs. The projects, costing around $45 million, are coming closer to completion. • Wh...

She was visiting to honor three of Glasgow's WWII veterans, while a group of friends, family members and veterans attended to witness it. The three men did not show much emotion as she spoke of their past and their service. Perhaps they couldn't hear as well, as they're... Full story
