With the attitude of never
backing down in any competition,
the Glasgow Highlanders stormed
the Capital City for the prestigious
Helltown Throwdown.
The Highlanders will host the
Glasgow Wrestling Club annual
invitational tournament Saturday.
At noon the mats will be cleared to
honor former club wrestler Luke
Zeiger. Zeiger has been inducted into
the MHSA/Wendy’s Hall of Fame.
Zeiger is the lone Glasgow Scotties to
win four state Class B championships
in his career.
The tournament is expected to
have over 500 youth wrestlers. This
has become a premier regular-season
event in the Northeast Division.
The Helena Tournament had a
record 1,111 boys and girls competing.
There were 71 clubs in attendance.
This was the first time for Glasgow to
compete in the tournament in its 10
years of existence. The Highlanders
were the fifth largest squad competing.
Collins Flaten won the
Bantam/8U championship. TenLea
Sundeen won the Intermediate/10U
crown. Not to be out done was Taden
Sundeen, who took the Novice/12U
title. And Riley Pedersen captured
the Middle School title. 7th grade Highlanders Leo Erickson, center, has a handful with Aiden

Girl Scouts of Montana and Wyoming (GSMW) will
kick off their 2024 Girl Scout Cookie season in Montana and
Wyoming on February 2, 2024, the annual event in which Girl
Scouts unbox their futures as young female entrepreneurs
through the world’s largest entrepreneurial program for girls.
During this highly-anticipated time of the year, girls
flex their entrepreneurial muscles and acquire important life
skills like goal setting, decision making, money management,
people skills and business ethics. All proceeds from cookie
sales stay with local councils and troops to power Girl Scouts’
amazing experiences year-round.
This year’s theme, Unbox the Future, aims to remove
social barriers that often keep girls boxed in. When bold,

penalize retailers and do not reflect the will of the consumer. Even
with deep price cuts, manufacturers’ incentives, and generous
government funding, federal mandates on electric vehicles are
unrealistic. The American customer should be able to decide
what technology makes most sense for them, not the federal
government.
Mandates aside, we must also ensure we have the necessary
infrastructure to support battery electric vehicles, including grid
capacity and reliability, charging stations, and domestic electric
vehicle battery production. China currently accounts for 70% of
global electric vehicle battery production capacity.2 Bolstering the
domestic critical minerals industry is an essential step to realizing
any long-term, responsible electric vehicle battery production.
Given China’s current action atop the global electric vehicle
production, mandating electric vehicle use too quickly can also
present a national security risk. Additionally, just this summer,
we saw the challenges associated with electric vehicles when your
own Secretary of Energy, Secretary Granholm, and her staff got
caught in an altercation at a charging station while attempting to
reserve one of the limited charging spots for the Secretary’s electric
vehicle.
There are a number of reasons why consumers are leaving
these cars on dealership lots – the cost, the infrastructure required,
and the battery content requirements are untenable for today’s
car buyers. Even if consumers determine over time that battery
electric vehicles are appealing, the reality is that the lack of a
strong, domestic marketplace makes electric vehicles prohibitively
expensive for the American consumer. While battery electric
vehicles are a promising technology, we believe it will take time
to develop the marketplace, to address consumer access and
concerns, and to build out the necessary infrastructure.
Ultimately, we must continue to maintain consumer
choice. Your mandates are unrealistic, costly, and prescriptive
solutions that harm American consumers. Therefore, we request
you remove your mandate that two out of every three vehicles
be electric and instead provide a more realistic approach by
allowing the free market to determine the direction and timing
for the industry’s growth rather than the federal government. Let
American consumers decide for themselves.
