Wrecking Ball politics

As Virgil Vaupel would say, it’s been “wrecking ball
politics” since Joe Biden was inaugurated. Here is
the verbatim executive order killing the Keystone XL
pipeline, again, as signed by President Biden within
his first hour in the Oval Office: “Sec. 6. Revoking
the March 2019 Permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline.
(a) On March 29, 2019, the President granted to
TransCanada Keystone Pipeline, L.P. a Presidential
permit (the “Permit”) to construct, connect, operate,
and maintain pipeline facilities at the international
border of the United States and Canada (the “Keystone
XL pipeline”), subject to express conditions and
potential revocation in the President’s sole discretion.
The Permit is hereby revoked in accordance with
Article 1(1) of the Permit.”

OBITUARY
Dora Lou Jacobson
Dora Lou Jacobson, 79,
passed away peacefully on
Saturday, Dec. 26, 2020 at
BeeHive Homes in Helena,
Mont. Special appreciation
is extended to the owners
and staff at BeeHive Homes
for their unprecedented care
over the last year and a half.
They filled her life with love, friendship and happiness.
Dora Lou was born in Glasgow, Montana to George
and Theo (Herrington) Scanson on January 10, 1941.
She attended school in Glasgow, graduated in 1959, and
married Jerry Jacobson of Glasgow on January 21, 1961.
They were blessed with two children, Brett and Sonda,
and fortunate to have 58 wonderful years together before
Jerry’s passing in 2019.
After marriage, they both attended Northern
Montana College where Dora Lou received her degree as
a Legal Secretary. She began her career in 1974, which
she maintained as she and Jerry transferred to several
different states nationwide to fulfill his law enforcement
career. They were able to return back home permanently
to their property north of Glasgow in 1994, where she
retired in 2014.
Dora Lou was also an amazing seamstress who
also enjoyed knitting and crocheting. Throughout the
years she blessed every family member with clothing,
sweaters and afghans. Her most treasured projects were
making custom towels for her grandchildren and great
grandchildren as each was born.
Family was very precious to Dora Lou. She was
preceded in death by her husband Jerry, parents George
and Theo, brother Esten, and many dear extended family
members and friends.
She is survived by her son Brett, daughter Sonda,
grandchildren Lenny, Britni, Seth, Chelsie and Nicole,
great grandchildren Adam, Eileen, Tucker, Dulcie, Louka
and Easton, the Scanson, McVee, and Myhre families and
many dear friends across the nation.
Dora Lou remained a very active member of the
First Baptist Church in Glasgow. She truly believed that
Pastor Lonnie, his family and his teachings were her own
personal blessings. This church was her lifelong love
since infancy. To honor and extend this love, in lieu of
flowers the family is requesting memorial donations be
made in Dora Lou’s name to the First Baptist Church, 700
4th Ave. S., Glasgow, Montana 59230.

Glasgow boys earn a split
By Mike Brandt
Two road games one would figure the visiting team
would come out on the losing end of the score. But that
wasn’t the case for the Glasgow boys Friday night as
they put together one of their best games this season for
a 62-44 victory over the Class A Sidney Eagles.
Playing in Sidney’s gym is not the easiest thing
to do, however, the Scotties looked comfortable in the
surroundings to clip the Eagles’ wings for the non-
conference win. Saturday night it didn’t go to well for
the Scotties as they ran into a hot-shooting Glendive
Red Devils team that buried 12 3-pointers in the 72-48
victory.
Glasgow’s second-year coach Paul Yoakam has
seen his Scotties show improvement since the start of
the season. You can bet that Glasgow will play closer to
Glendive when the Red Devils come to town Feb. 16th.
The Scotties trailed 13-7 after the first quarter as
Sidney was hitting its shots. But the Scotties rallied in
the second period to outscore the Eagles 19-4 to take a
26-17 lead into the break.
Vinny Chappell scored six straight points on two
of the old fashion 3-point plays to get his teammates
within 15-13 early in the second quarter. Trevor Klind
tied the game with his bucket, but he missed his free
throw that would have given the Scotties their third lead
of the game. Glasgow led 2-0 and 4-2 early in the game.
Keagan Skolrud did give Glasgow the lead on his
putback and added a free three at the 3:55 mark for
an 18-15 lead. The 6-foot-3 senior added another free
throw at the 2:05 mark and completed a three-point
play with 1:14 to play in the half. Bergen Miller added a
pair of throws and Vaughn Miller gave Glasgow the 26-
THANK YOU
Words cannot express my gratitude and appreciation to those who
had me in their thoughts and prayers, sent me cards, visited me (from
outside the window) and financially donated to me. This community is
“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING”!!!! As my strength increases and over time
my hope is to be able to personally thank everyone. A special Thank
You to Gary and Shiela Martin, Darvin & Deb Henry, my sister Judi,
Anthony Norcutt, Angela & Darian Skolrud for taking care of my house,
my animals, keeping everyone updated, personal business and getting
me home and being my caregivers. I would like to thank Mike Ruggles
for bringing me his Tablet, so I was able to facetime. I especially want to
thank the Emergency Room Staff at FMDH, EMT’s, Ambulance Crew,
Stat Air, the staff at the Billings Clinic, and the staff at the Advanced
Care Hospital. If it wasn’t for them, I would not be here today.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

17 lead at the half.
Glasgow widened its lead to 12 early in the third and
led 41-27 on Klind’s layup late in the quarter. Glasgow
led 43-29 going into the final eight minutes of action.
Skolrud finished the contest with 27 points, with 16
coming in the second half. Bergen Miller and Chappell
added 11 each, Collinsworth six, Klind four, Vaughn
Miller and Riley Smith two each, and Sand one.
Sinks paced Sidney with 12 points.
Glasgow ran into a buzz saw in Glendive Saturday
night in another non-conference game. The Scotties
hung with the Red Devils, trailing 18-13 after the first
quarter. But the Dawson County team buried five
3-pointers in the second stanza to take a 41-25 lead into
the break. The Red Devils finished the half drilling eight
3-pointers.
The Red Devils scored on three more treys in the
third and led 68-31 at the end of the quarter. C o a c h
Yoakam went to his bench in the second half to give his
younger players some varsity minutes.
Skolrud fouled out in the middle of the fourth, finishing
with 16 points. Chappell chipped in nine points, Bergen
Miller had eight, Malnaa five, Collinsworth, Sand, Klind,
and Keigan Ingram two apiece. Buckley and Coon led
Glendive with 18 points each.
Glasgow will be in Malta tonight to face the Mustangs
and host Wolf Point Friday night. Both are District 2B
contests.

Wrecking Ball continued from front
“(b) In 2015, following an exhaustive review, the Department
of State and the President determined that approving the
proposed Keystone XL pipeline would not serve the U.S.
national interest. That analysis, in addition to concluding
that the significance of the proposed pipeline for our energy
security and economy is limited, stressed that the United
States must prioritize the development of a clean energy
economy, which will in turn create good jobs. The analysis
further concluded that approval of the proposed pipeline
would undermine U.S. climate leadership by undercutting
the credibility and influence of the United States in urging
other countries to take ambitious climate action.
“(c) Climate change has had a growing effect on the U.S.
economy, with climate-related costs increasing over the
last 4 years. Extreme weather events and other climate-
related effects have harmed the health, safety, and security
of the American people and have increased the urgency for
combatting climate change and accelerating the transition
toward a clean energy economy. The world must be put
on a sustainable climate pathway to protect Americans
and the domestic economy from harmful climate impacts,
and to create well-paying union jobs as part of the climate
solution.
“(d) The Keystone XL pipeline disserves the U.S. national
interest. The United States and the world face a climate
crisis. That crisis must be met with action on a scale and
at a speed commensurate with the need to avoid setting
the world on a dangerous, potentially catastrophic, climate
trajectory. At home, we will combat the crisis with an
ambitious plan to build back better, designed to both reduce
harmful emissions and create good clean-energy jobs. Our
domestic efforts must go hand in hand with U.S. diplomatic
engagement. Because most greenhouse gas emissions
originate beyond our borders, such engagement is more
necessary and urgent than ever. The United States must
be in a position to exercise vigorous climate leadership in
order to achieve a significant increase in global climate
action and put the world on a sustainable climate pathway.
Leaving the Keystone XL pipeline permit in place would
not be consistent with my Administration’s economic and
climate imperatives.”
Letter to the Buzz
KXL Support Needed
To Whom It May Concern:
As the Executive Director of the Glasgow Aera
Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture for the past
11 years, I strongly encourage you to support the
completion of a critical American infrastructure project:
Keystone XL. Keystone XL is not only good for business
for the U.S., but Northeast Montana and particularly,
Valley County.
It will create thousands of high-paying jobs, pay
millions into tax coffers, and inject billions into the
nation’s economy, as well as the significant portion
alone to Montana. Approximately 3,700 jobs alone
will be created in Montana. The tax revenue can be
spent on our schools, roads, and much needed vital
infrastructure needed in Valley County. Keystone XL
will create a surge in our economy at a time when the
U.S. Economy is tougher than ever for businesses.
As a leader in our community, I know you can
appreciate just how badly we need this boost to support
this place we call home. Keystone XL provides us
the ability to do all of this. The project has changed
significantly since it was conceived. TC Energy has
committed to utilize only union labor to build Keystone
XL in the United States.
The project has already experienced far too many
unnecessary delays and scrutiny. Further delaying
or canceling projects like Keystone XL sends a clear
message to American companies working on them: our
voice is not important, and it’s not being heard. Please
do not take this economic boost in Valley County away.
The past 10 years Keystone Xl has gone above
and beyond to prove that the pipeline can be built
and operated safely, with NO significant impact to the
environment. It is time to proceed. The project work
done thus far and their commitment to our community
has been outstanding.
I am counting on you to support this project
and help deliver thousands of high-quality and high-
paying American jobs as well as millions of dollars in
annual property taxes from the project that will support
American schools, hospitals, and communities like ours
at a time when this support is most needed.
Sincerely,
Lisa A. Koski
Executive Director, Glasgow Area Chamber
of Commerce & Agriculture Inc.

support of KXL, go to: wesupportthis.org.)
