The Glasgow Police Department asks everyone to be mindful of our winter weather. Hypothermia and frostbite are serious risks for anyone spending time outside this season. There are a number of risk factors to developing hypothermia. Those at the greatest danger are those whose cold weather judgment is impaired in some way. Whether this is an elderly person, a baby who cannot accurately regulate their temperature, those on medications that alter their ability to sense temperature, those who suffer nerve damage or those who drink heavily or use...

Two moose were recently spotted at Duane Mattfeldt's place, east of town, located near the Milk River Bridge on MT Hwy. 24. The moose originally appeared north of the railroad tracks near the Valley Veterinary Clinic, and were eventually seen on Mattfeldt's land Jan. 4. The moose, likely a mother and her yearling calf, seem to come and go from the property. Although sightings have been sporadic, it appears the best time to see them has been between 8 and 8:30 a.m. on any given day. Once the time... Full story

Last week, county commissioners spoke with Robert Latimer of Omaha, Neb., about the Keystone Pipeline and the possibility of the project continuing. While they remain optimistically cautious, they discussed how the pipeline is projected to proceed should it be approved for construction. Most of the plans in place will likely remain the same with some slight tweaks. The proposed man camps in Hinsdale and by Fort Peck will still be in place, should the project come to fruition. They also spoke about tax impact and were assured that Montana and So... Full story
In order to comply with the state mandated E-911, it is necessary for residents and businesses to be using the assigned 911 addresses. In 2014, preliminary notice address letters were mailed. In September of 2015, final notice of addresses were mailed out directing residents and businesses to begin using the assigned addresses. With the new advances in technology at the postal service, the way they deliver mail is directly affected by the address that is given to the post office, so it is crucial for an address to be changed. If you don’t t... Full story
Following Montana U.S. Representative Ryan Zinke's decision to accept his appointment to Secretary of the Interior, Montanans have started throwing their hats in the ring to fill the Big Sky's sole seat in the House. Replacing Zinke requires a special election be held between 85 to 100 days following Zinke actually vacating his seat, which also requires him to be confirmed by the Senate. In the interim, an appointee by Governor Steve Bullock will fill the seat until the new elected... Full story
Do you remember when everything old was referred to as “Antique?” This term covered most anything that might be older than you were. As with most things in our lives, terminology has also changed and the terms older people use do not necessarily mean the same thing to the younger generation. When we refer to antiques, we need to be aware that they might be “retro” or “vintage” or just “old.” Now, I kinda have a clue as to what the difference is, but I decided to Google it, just to be sure. So for any of you that cares, antiques generally refer...
Last week, our family, with the exception of one daughter and her sons, went out for supper to celebrate our oldest son and his wife’s birthdays. Everyone was having a good time visiting. When the waitress began bringing the pizzas that had been ordered, our 10-year-old grandson said to me, “We can’t start eating yet, Grandma. We have to pray first.” So we waited for the rest of our order, then bowed our heads and joined our grandson as he started a prayer. Sometimes it takes the wisdom of a child to remind adults of what they know they sh...
The United State Supreme Court was established in 1789 by Article III of the Constitution. Originally there were 6 justices. In the 19th century, Congress adjusted this number down to five, up to seven, and then ten. In 1869, it was set at nine. In 1937, President Roosevelt tried to “pack” the court with pro New Deal members, and asked the number of justices be raised all the way to 15. This effort was defeated. Since Justice Scalia’s death there have been two deadlocked cases, but both have been important. The first, United States v. Texas...
The word autonomous used to be attached mostly to governments. According to my Funk and Wagnalls it means “ acting independently or having the ability to do so.” “Robotics” comes to mind as well. Something that doesn’t need continual watching or manipulating to function in the manner it was designed to function. You’ve seen the robotic vacuum cleaner advertised on TV I’m sure. That would be a good description of autonomous and robotics. I wonder if an airplane on auto-pilot would be considered autonomous. Imagine a highway where trucks are be...
This coming Monday is a federal holiday, and much like most of the others, it seems that the only exciting thing about it is that some government employees get the day off. In reality, and much like many of the other holidays, we are celebrating a man who gave his life for this country. Just like Memorial Day, Veterans’ Day, Presidents’ Day and even Christmas, we are honoring a person who sacrificed dearly to advance the safety, justice and conscience of our country. Martin Luther King Jr. Day is no exception to that rule. And, unf...
