There was a heck of a turnout at the official opening ceremony for the Northeast Montana Veterans Memorial Park on July 4. Kelly Siefert from The Buzz, commented that it was the busiest event he'd seen at Fort Peck since the 1970s. As attendees located parking and took their seats, Hailey Stone sang and played piano, followed by members of the GHS band, who performed "The Star Spangled Banner," (dressed to the nines in full regalia). After an invocation from Mr. Jason Myers, Master of...

Glasgow Boy Scout Troop 861 spent the Independence Day Weekend serving food at both the John Hahn Memorial Softball Tournament and the dedication ceremony for the Northeast Montana Veteran's Memorial in Fort Peck. The Scouts are hoping to raise the funds necessary to take the six-man troop on a week-long canoeing expedition in the Minnesota Boundary Waters during the summer of 2017. The trip would consist of over 50 miles afloat on the boundary waters guided by local professionals. The trip...
When I spoke with Glasgow's Sarah Schindler at the Busted Knuckle on June 16, she was well within striking distance of completing her ride across Montana to raise awareness for suicide prevention. Contemplating her goal of crossing the North Dakota state line, she grinned and said, "I'm so close I can taste it." Three weeks later, Schindler says, "I feel like my work is just starting. Suicide prevention starts with us on an every day level, from being kind and understanding people, to...
Over the past month, I had the honor and privilege of recognizing more than 1,200 Montanans who served in the Armed Forces during the Vietnam War at special pinning ceremonies. (Date and location for Glasgow/Fort Peck area coming soon) Many of these events we chose to host at the veterans memorials because we wanted to share the moment with those we have lost. These memorials are places to remember our brothers and sisters who have fallen in defense of our nation, to celebrate the lives of our veterans, and to bring the tight-knit community of...
I attended two Nashua School board meetings last week. I no longer have a child at Nashua School. My husband and I no longer work full-time at the school, but we are very involved in extra-curricular activities. We both graduated from schools that have closed their doors. It was a slow, painful process and one that we would never want to happen in Nashua. It’s no secret that Nashua School is going through major staff changes. As I sat at the board meetings, I observed the school board working very hard to resolve the issues in order to open t... Full story
Intriguing headline, what? It’s true. One can retire and live a life of Riley on a little over $60,600 a year. Free ... No strings ... no obligations, and best of all, NO WORK!! Get paid handsomely while you sit on the beach or hike in the mountains, or enjoy the evening sunset from the back porch while hitting on a doobie supplied, free, by your benefactor. Don’t believe it? Well friends, it’s being done by at least three or ten millions of people all over this great country every year. Some states pay better than others, and in a momen...
While serving food with the Boy Scouts at the Veteran’s Memorial Dedication in Fort Peck on Independence Day, I was taken off-guard by a comment made by a woman and her husband. They said they were surprised to see Boy Scouts and didn’t know they still existed. They added that it was nice to see young men with their pants pulled up, clean cut, behaving respectfully. I thought, “What other way would they act?” They are Boy Scouts after all. What worried me, however, was not that there are young men in the world who are not acting appropr...

The Glasgow Kiwanis Swim Team welcomed 280 swimmers over the Fourth-of-July weekend for their annual invitational meet. Events started the morning of July 2 at 10 a.m. after Glasgow resident Hannah Mickelson sang the national anthem for the crowd. Most of the races held on the first day of a meet are preliminary, so it's not unusual to have several heats for a single event. With 11 teams competing, it made for a busy day, but with parents tackling their duties head on and Auzzy's Cook Shack...
The Glasgow Reds faced the Glendive Blue Devils in back-to-back double headers last week. For their first two games of the stretch, the Reds were in Glendive on June 28.

Marvin Pearson, 90, passed away peacefully on Tuesday morning, June 28, 2016, at Pondera Extended Care Facility in Conrad, Mont. There will be a family memorial at a later date. He was born on March 24, 1926, in Glasgow, Mont. He and Vivian farmed in Glasgow until 1961, then in the Choteau area until 1979, at which time they moved to Conrad where they have farmed ever since. He loved nothing better than the smell of the new turned earth in spring, the blessing of a good rain, the greening of... Full story
