There, there, Shirley, it will be okay...

Tears were flowing this afternoon in the entryway pat-pat-pat to console the the manager of northeast
leading up the steps of KLTZ/KLAN Studios while Erika Montana’s finest radio station, Shirley Trang. Why the

Pushing to Protect Hours
Congressman Greg Gianforte and U.S. Senator
Steve Daines on Tuesday sent a letter to Kevin
McAleenan, commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP), demanding that the agency postpone
any changes to the hours of operation at four Montana
ports of entry.
“We write again to express our strong opposition
to Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) proposed
reduction in hours of service at ports of entry in
Montana. We have yet to receive your reply to ouor
letter dated March 7, 2019. Further, your staff would
not commit to ensuring that you would respond prior
to making any final decision on the proposal.”
“Since our last letter regarding
“We request you delay any fina the proposed
changes at Morgan, Opheim, Raymond and Scobey
ports of entry, the CBP has held “listening sessions”
in the affected communities. Our staff was also in
attendance, and they noted a lack of candor regarding
opposition from the Canadian side, as well as resistance
to even allowing members of the affected communities
to express their opinions. Further, many in attendance
were left with the impression that these meetings were
nota actually designed to gather input but to announce
an already decided upon policy.”
“We request you delay any final decisions regarding
changes to hours of operation until June 1st, 2019, when
seasonal hours of operation changes are scheduled to
take place. At the very least you should delay any decision
until actually listening to impacted communities and
talking to the people elected to represent Montanans,”
the letter reads.
Gianforte and Daines rejected CBP’s efforts to put a
price tag on maintaining the current hours of operation
for the ports of entry.
“Your staff has informed our staff that these proposed
changes would not result in any employees leaving
Montana communities, and would result in reduction in
overtime costs of $180,000. Keeping ports of entry open
to rural Montana is worth more than $180,000.”

 Downtown renovations
The location of 504 2nd Avenue South in downtown
Glasgow is getting an exterior facelift. Down
came United Insurance & Realty’s awning as well
as the KLTZ-KLAN neon sign that Shirley Trang
says has been hanging around since the early
90s (thus the front page “tears”). At right in the
Genie lift is Mike Brown of Brown Construction,
in the bucket is Josh Sand of Sand Electric, and
at right is Jon Bengochea of United Insurance &
Realty. The Aune Masonry crew was out bright
and early this morning (actually it wasn’t very
bright out) and the brick dust was flying by 7:30.
The building is owned by Jon and his wife Erika
and in the past couple of years has had some
interior remodeling as well as a roof job. “We’re
here to stay,” Jon said of their investments. Below
is Shirley once again with “Live Under the Big
Sky” voices Stan Ozark and Haylie Shipp. The
sign was packed up the stairs into KLTZ/KLAN
Studios for permanent display (if they can find a
spot between all that Elvis memorobilia!).
