In 2022 we had a total of 82 kids with a total of 103 fish caught. Each participant received a free t-shirt provided by the sponsors. Prizes were awarded to the top placers and those who did not place had a variety of free gifts to choose from. We finished with a free lunch provided by Thrivent Financial, Shelly George and ice cream from Meadow Gold. They all fished back at Winter Harbor where there were lots of fish to be caught. A great time was had by all. Thanks to the following sponsors:...
Last week Katie Knierim and Kevin Miller donated $25,000 to the Valley County Community Pool Campaign making the total raised $2,518,028, just over the $2.5 million mark, of the $3,304,000 goal needed to build a new pool in Glasgow. The Miller children, Jack and Molly, are both part of the Glasgow Kiwanis Swim Team Thunder, and Knierim swam in swim team as a kid, so seeing the campaign so close to their goal and seeing a new pool in Glasgow within sights is important to them as a family.

"It was a privilege to take part in such a special Montana tradition and put the governor back in the...
Ernie and Ernest have been best friends for as long as they can remember. As pen pals they eagerly exchange letters almost every day, which travel nearly 5,000 miles between their homes in Montana and London. Though their daily routines are very different at times, they share what is most important: love of family and home and the value of having fun, as they learn about culture, sports, history and food (mainly cheese of course!). The County Mouse and the City Mouse is written by Fort Peck...

This spring we have been seeing a lot of samples in the office of ash trees with young leaves curling under and a funny white fluffy substance on them. This is the leaf curl aphid also known as the woolly ash aphid. This tiny insect infests and feeds on the newly emerging leaves and young stems of ash trees in the early spring. The aphid is tiny, about 1/8 inch; pear shaped and usually white to green. The bodies are covered in a white, waxy filament that gives them a cottony or woolly...

We’ve had more rain, plus lots of lightning and thunder, but no hail (knock on wood). With these last storms there have been some power outages, so I’m grateful for our generator. The extra wetness has made weeding easier. I’ve had plenty of grass clippings to put between the garden rows, so I don’t get too muddy doing the weeding. I was even able to dig out a lot of the volunteer grass alongside the walkway between the house and garage. I do hate spraying chemicals around. The garden has reached that stage of development where less weeding...
I love a good thunderstorm. Maybe it’s the crack of the thunder, maybe it’s the sound of driving rain, maybe it’s the bright flash of lightning as it streaks across the sky. Disengaging caveman brain for a moment however and remembering that I am in fact a technology professional, thunderstorms are a major pain in my proverbial. This lightning and the subsequent power outages are awful for electronics and, as we fill our homes with ever more sensitive flavors of such, they can get expensive if we don’t take the proper care. Let’s perhaps c...
