New from NWS:

Where Weather
meets the Road
The
National
Weather Service (NWS)
is expanding its Travel
Hazard Decision Support
web page that brings
weather impacts and
highways into focus for
those trying to determine
a safe time to travel.
Vernon Preston, the
Warning Coordination
Meteorologist for the
National Weather Service
in Pocatello, said a team
of weather forecasters
and web designers helped
develop this collaborative
effort
between
the
Idaho
Transportation
Department (ITD) and
NWS Pocatello over the
past four years.
Recently, the Travel
Decision Support page
was given the green light
to expand across the
western United States and
eventually nation-wide in
2015. Preston said, The

Simply pick the approximate time youre traveling, click on a road segment and a popup box
will display the forecast and potential hazards on that particular stretch of road. The web
page allows you to change the criteria to meet your own needs.

idea of combining weather

hazards with impacts for
the traveling public was a
natural fit for the ITD goal
of Towards Zero Deaths
and the NWS mission to
Save Lives and Property.

The web page takes
forecast data from the

NWS
and
combines
hazard criteria developed
by ITD to display hazard
colors: green meaning
no impacts, yellow some,
red many, and magenta
significant. Simply click
on a road segment and
a popup box will display

the forecast and potential

hazards. The web page
allows the user to change
the criteria to meet their
own needs.

A month or so ago Montana Fish, Wildlife and
Parks (FWP) gathered up over 100 Yellowstone Park
bison that had spent the last 5 years in quarantine
on Ted Turners Green Ranch (for a percent of the
calf crop) and hauled them to the sovereign nation
of Fort Peck Indian Reservation.
Apparently with only one mortality this time!
While no one has a problem with the Reservation
receiving Yellowstone Park bison, some may
question why FWP was involved.
Some answers to this question were provided
by Ken McDonald, Chief of the Game Division
for FWP, in his response to questions asked by
State Representative Kerry White. According to
McDonald, FWP and the Fort Peck Tribes signed
an agreement before the bison were transferred.
Apparently, FWP did not consider the giving away
of state (supposed) wildlife to a sovereign nation to
be a concern of Montana citizens. I do not believe
the agreement was ever made public. Again the
question could be asked, why is FWP going to all
this trouble to get bison to the Fort Peck Indian
Reservation? Unfortunately, it was a blatant,
shameful action by a state agency to circumvent
a state law (Senate Bill 212) that prevented them
from moving bison to Federal or private land. That
a state agency would stoop to such transparent
chicanery is despicable.
Hopefully, the next
legislative session will not forget this in-your-face
action.
So who owns the bison? Well, according to
McDonald, as long as they stay on the reservation
they mostly belong to the Tribes. However, the
agreement provides, ....that a number of bison
would be made available to MFWP for future
conservation purposes.

Thank you Valley County

For your generous and continued support of the Valley County

Thanksgiving Day Dinner. Thank you to Rev. Jay Ashbaucher,
GHS Student Council Members, Senior Citizens Center, Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Albertsons, Mrs. Benses, Mrs.
Swensons, Mrs. Siverlys, & Mr. Doorneks Classes, Deb, Rod,
Brad, Stan, and all volunteers and attendees. Robert and Bryce,
willingness to clean off sidewalks was greatly appreciated. We are
blessed to have so many people with such generous hearts.
Ruth Ann Hutcheson

In response to the question, Who assumes

liability for property damage when they escape
from the reservation? McDonald responded,
....the Tribes will be solely responsible for any
damages to persons or property caused by the QFS
bison should they escape. The Tribes currently
has and will maintain liability insurance.... to
pay damages during the term of this Agreement.
However, these damage payments may only
apply to reservation property owners since
McDonald continues, ....the Tribes will have
72 hours to return any bison that escape the
exterior reservation boundary back to within the
reservation. If they remain outside the exterior
Reservation boundaries for more than 72 hours,
MFWP will respond as necessary, managing QFS
bison as wildlife under their jurisdiction......
Maybe Im pessimistic but I dont see how the
Tribes insurance policy is going to do the residents
outside the reservation boundary much good!
Now we begin to see how much damage the
decision Judge McKeon handed down concerning
the term wild as it applied to these bison. In my
opinion, the Judge wrongly ruled these animals
born, raised, handled, and kept in captivity their
whole lives, met the definition of wild. I wonder
how he would define a domestic bison?

In the recent 2014 elections the Valley County
Conservation District put an initiative on the ballot
that effectively outlawed wild, free-ranging bison
in the county. The initiative passed with over 70
percent of Valley County voters being in favor.
It is sad that FWP is forging ahead with plans to
ram these bison down our throats when it is very
apparent the overwhelming majority of residents
in NE Montana are against it.

One solution would be for the Tribes to brand
the bison (Montana is a brand law state). Then they
would legally own all of them!

As we rolled to 18,000,000,000,000

BEIJINGCelebrating the milestone with hugs,

jubilant cheers, and singing, over 600,000 Chinese
citizens assembled in Tiananmen Square in Beijing to
watch the U.S. debt clock, mounted above the Forbidden
City, reach the landmark sum of $18 trillion dollars.
You could stay home and watch it on TV, but its
much more exciting to be here with people from all
over the country to celebrate this momentous day, said
Beijing resident Xiao Bu, noting that he always arrives
in the early morning to stake out a good location in the
square every time Americas debt rises by another trillion.
I remember my father taking me to see the $2
trillion mark so long ago, and now Im bringing my own
children here to take part in the festivities. Its really a
special part of our nations culture.
While most revelers left shortly after the rollover,
an estimated 100,000 reportedly decided to just wait
around in the square until the clock strikes $19 trillion.

Scotty boys are now 2-0,

first home game is Friday

The Glasgow b-ball teams were in Saco last night

where the Scotty boys rolled to a 75-40 nonconference
victory over Saco-Whitewater. Its way early in the
season, but looking at the schedule, the Scotties could
run the table headed into the District 2B Tournament
February 19-21 in Wolf Point.

As far as the girls game went, its looking like SacoWhitewater-Hinsdale could be the team to beat in the
District 3-C. The Panthers had a 34-22 lead at half time
and would go on to blow the Scotties out in the second
half, final score 62-38.
Glasgow will host Roundup this Friday. The boys
C game is at 1:00 in the Evangelical Church gym. All
other games are at the GHS gym with girls JV at 1:00,
boys JV at 2:30, girls varsity at 4:00 and boys varsity at
5:30.
Saturday will have the Scotties traveling to
Baker.
