Trying to find a balance between the livelihood of farmers and an ancient fish on the verge of extinction is not an exact science, but a best guess based on available data. Area farmers are worried about how a planned increase then reduction in water flow next year from Fort Peck Dam to stimulate the natural spawning cycle of the Pallid Sturgeon may result in expensive repairs or retrofits to irrigation systems. But, the flows may also allow the sturgeon to reproduce in Upper Missouri River Basi...
During their regular meeting April 14, the Glasgow School District Board of Trustees voted to increase activity fees for athletes at all schools.

I hope to be back once more on a consistent schedule, good Lord willing. I have been remembering Glasgow residents of the past that many of my era will recall.

I am sure that they were absolutely no danger to anyone, but I know that many parents played on their characteristics to scare their children. Mike Bluehorse was a friend... Full story

It’s starting to feel like I’m living through the movie Groundhog Day: another Sunday heralding a return of colder weather, with the prospect of intermittent bouts of snow flurries thrown in for good measure. Early on Sunday, the sky to the west of us looked bruised. That’s the direction our weather usually comes from, although last week it came out of the east. I’m not really happy with what Mother Nature keeps throwing at us. Where are those April showers? Those are supposed to be rain, not snow! We need some May flowers to cheer us up. At...
