Vol. 4, No. 228 Tuesday, January 12, 2016

A little dipsy-do results in two for Scotty junior Trent Herbert as he slides by the defense during varsity action this past Friday night. Attacking the basket was the name of the game all evening as Glasgow defeated the Nashua Porcupines 71-28. Then on Saturday, the Scotsmen were in a showdown with Harlem, where the Wildcats would win 37-36 in a game that was nip-n-tuck from the opening tip-off. The Scotty girls, meanwhile, swept both their weekend games, knocking off the District 3C Porkies 58-29 followed by a well-earned 57-49 victory over the District 2B Wildcats. Look out, the Malta Mustangs and defendig state champion M’Ettes come to town this Thursday: no easy task for either our Lassies or Scotsmen, but still the opportunity to let Big Blue know that they’re showing up to play and will not go down without a good battle. Should be some good hoops Thursday night, followed up by some more good b-ball on Friday night as Wolf Point comes to the Bonnie City.

Q: Who delivered the first State of the Union address?A: George Washington on Jan. 8, 1790 in New York.Q: When did the annual message become known as the “State of the Union” address?A: Franklin D. Roosevelt applied the constitutional phrase “State of the Union” to both the message and the event. It became the popular terminology from then on.Q: Does it have to be a speech?A: No. For his first address on Dec. 8, 1801, Thomas Jefferson sent written copies to both houses of Congress to be read by each chamber’s clerks. Jefferson wanted to simplify what he believed was an aristocratic imitation of the British monarch’s speech from the throne, which he thought ill-suited for a republic. The practice of sending written copies to Congress continued for more than a century before Woodrow Wilson resumed delivering the annual message in person on April 8, 1913.

Theo and Alyce Beck Foundation Trust Grants Awarded

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack reminds farmers and ranchers that the next general enrollment period for the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) began, Dec. 1, 2015, and ends on Feb. 26, 2016. December 2015 also marks the 30th anniversary of CRP, a federally funded program that assists agricultural producers with the cost of restoring, enhancing and protecting certain grasses, shrubs and trees to improve water quality, prevent soil erosion and reduce loss of wildlife habitat. As of September 2015, 24.2 million acres were enrolled in CRP. CRP also is protecting more than 170,000 stream miles with riparian forest and grass buffers, enough to go around the world 7 times. For an interactive tour of CRP success stories from across the U.S ., visit http://www.fsa.usda.gov/CRPis30, or follow on Twitter at #CRPis30. “Over the past 30 years, farmers, ranchers, conservationists, hunters, fishermen and other outdoor enthusiasts have made CRP one of the most successful conservation programs in the history of the country,” said Vilsack. “Today, CRP continues to make major environmental improvements to water and air quality. This is another longstanding example of how agricultural production can work hand in hand with efforts to improve the environment and increase wildlife habitat.” Participants in CRP establish long-term, resource-conserving plant species, such as approved grasses or trees (known as “covers”) to control soil erosion, improve water quality and develop wildlife habitat on marginally productive agricultural lands. In return, FSA provides participants with rental payments and cost-share assistance. At times when commodity prices are low, enrolling sensitive lands in CRP can be especially attractive to farmers and ranchers, as it softens the

Deadline to sign up for CRP is Friday, February 26theconomic hardship for landowners at the same time that it provides ecological benefits. Contract duration is between 10 and 15 years. The long-term goal of the program is to re-establish native plant species on marginal agricultural lands for the primary purpose of preventing soil erosion and improving water quality and related benefits of reducing loss of wildlife habitat. Contracts on 1.64 million acres of CRP are set to expire on Sept. 30, 2016. Producers with expiring contracts or producers with environmentally sensitive land are encouraged to evaluate their options under CRP. Since it was established on Dec. 23, 1985, CRP has prevented more than 9 billion tons of soil from eroding, enough soil to fill 600 million dump trucks, reduced nitrogen and phosphorous runoff relative to annually tilled cropland by 95 and 85 percent respectively and sequestered an annual average of 49 million tons of greenhouse gases, equal to taking 9 million cars off the road. Since 1996, CRP has created nearly 2.7 million acres of restored wetlands.

Pheasant releases will take place between Aug. 1 and Sept. 15.

Mr. HustleDespite a 71-27 setback to Glasgow, Nashua’s lone senior Lane Nickels never called it quits to the final buzzer (the same way he played for the Scotty football team last fall). Lane scored 11 of his game-high points in the first quarter for the Porcupines, including a trio of three-pointers, Also pictured are Scotty seniors Ethan Etchart (#1) and Chase Hughes (#3). If you want to catch some live sports broadcasts on Nemont.TV, check out the ad below: it’s Malta vs. Glasgow on Thursday, Scobey vs. Nashua on Friday, and hockey on Saturday as Bottineau comes to the Valley Event Center with a 2:00 face-off.
