Our Bonnie City Lassies of WinterBack on track and improving to 4-2 on the season are the Glasgow Scotties as they rang in the New Year knocking off Poplar, lighting up the nets for 72 points while holding the Indians to 42 points. The Scotty boys also made their 2016 debut a success over the Indians. Deadlocked at 22-all at

the half and still tied at 31-31 entering the fourth quarter, Glasgow would prevail over Poplar 50-47. The Scotties are at home again this Friday night when they host Nashua. Boys’ JV starts at 3:30 followed by the varsity girls at 5:0 and the boys at 6:30. Then on Saturday it’s a road trip to Harlem.

The number of rides given by Glenn’s Automotive, Thompson & Sons, and Valley County Search & Rescue on New Year’s Eve tallied 160. Those providing these rides were Doug Cook, Josh Thompson, Chris Moore, Rob Brunelle, Jaron Wesen, Sandy Carpenter, and Shyanne Isakson.

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks will hold four public meetings in northeast Montana this month to gather comments on proposed hunting seasons and rules for the next two years. One of these meetings will be held at the Cottonwood Inn in Glasgow on Wednesday, January 6th starting at 6:30 p.m. The tentative rules and regulations, available for review and comment online now at fwp.mt.gov, were approved by the Fish and Wildlife Commission at their December meeting, and include statewide and local hunting regulations for antelope, black bear, bighorn sheep, bison, deer, elk, moose, mountain goat, mountain lion, and upland game birds. Every two years FWP considers changes to all hunting seasons, proposes changes from the previous biennium, and encourages public comment before the FWP Commission makes its final decisions in February. Meetings are held across the state to present the proposed seasons and accept public comments. FWP and its commissioners will also accept written, online or emailed comments through Jan. 22. Some of the proposed hunting season and rules, relevant to Region 6, include the establishment of late elk shoulder seasons and antlerless elk permits in the Missouri River Breaks and Bears Paw Mountains, establishment of mule deer and white-tailed deer antlerless hunting opportunities in the region, an increase in antelope quotas in the Glasgow area, and expanding quota ranges for bighorn sheep in the Breaks hunting district 622. The public is encouraged to visit the FWP website for the full proposals or attend a public meeting. Comments may be submitted at these public meetings, online at fwp.mt.gov or by mail to: FWP Wildlife Division, “attn: hunting season proposals,” PO Box 200701, Helena, MT 59620. Comments are due by 5 p.m. on January 22, 2016.

I was going to quit all my bad habits for the New Year, but then I remembered that nobody likes a quitter.

Dieting - New Year Resolutions• 2012: I will get my weight down below 180

pounds.• 2013: I will follow my new diet religiously until I

get below 200 pounds.• 2014: I will develop a realistic attitude about my

weight.• 2015: I will work out 3 days a week.• 2016: I will try to drive past a gym at least once

a week.

Ahh, the Good Ol’ Days...

I just long for the days before Political Correctness took over this country.... ...when kids were allowed to play Livestock Management Technicians and Indigenous Peoples....

What kind of government cares more about appeasing Islamic terrorists than defending the constitutional rights of its citizens? A government that would disarm us during the age of terror. Nothing would make us more vulnerable to generations of suffering and slaughter than the destruction of our Second Amendment. But many of our politicians, aided by a relentless media, are launching that attack themselves. They dream of joining the rest of the disarmed peoples of the world in trusting our survival to the mercy of monsters. The greatest damage the terrorists could ever inflict upon us is disarmament at the hands of the political elites. But we will never offer our right to survive as a fool’s ransom to the world’s killers. Our freedom is what they fear most.

As Obama makes his gun control play today...

“Placing a heavier burden on responsible gun owners will do little to prevent troubled individuals from carrying out violent acts. The Second Amendment is very clear and so is my commitment to protecting the Constitutional right of law-abiding citizens to bear arms.” ~ Mike Johanns
