Nemont has announced that Farm Equipment Sales is the first business to sign up for Gigabit internet speeds in the Glasgow area. Gigabit broadband speeds are 100 times faster than traditional speeds with a 1000 Mbps symmetrical download and upload capability. Farm Equipment Sales plans to use their new unrivaled service to bring education opportunities to their

employees and customers. One example is developing an integrated distance learning classroom at their facility to hold John Deere trainings direct from the manufacturer. Sarah Partridge, General Manager of FES, expanded on the effect the new internet speed will have on other business applications. She states, “We are in the process

of installing a new state of the art business system, allowing us to have real time parts inventory and sales access to all of our locations to better serve our customers.” Leif Handran, Nemont Sales & Marketing Manager, said “Gigabit speeds will ensure FES takes full advantage of the bandwidth symmetry allowing for fast two-

Meeting in Glasgow to gather comments on hunting proposals Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks will hold four public meetings in northeast Montana in January to gather comments on proposed hunting seasons and rules for the next two years. The tentative rules and regulations, available for review and comment online now at fwp.mt.gov, were approved by the Fish and Wildlife Commission at their December meeting, and include statewide and local hunting regulations for antelope, black bear, bighorn sheep, bison, deer, elk, moose, mountain goat, mountain lion, and upland game birds. Every two years FWP considers changes to all hunting seasons, proposes changes from the previous biennium, and encourages public comment before the FWP Commission makes its final decisions in February. Meetings are held across the state to present the proposed seasons and accept public comments. FWP and its commissioners will also accept written, online or emailed comments through Jan. 22. Some of the proposed hunting season and rules, relevant to Region 6, include the establishment of late elk shoulder seasons and antlerless elk permits in the Missouri River Breaks and Bears Paw Mountains, establishment of mule deer and white-tailed deer antlerless hunting opportunities in the region, an increase in antelope quotas in the Glasgow area, and expanding quota ranges for bighorn sheep in the Breaks hunting district 622. The public is encouraged to visit the FWP website for the full proposals or attend a public meeting. In northeast Montana, all public meetings are scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at the following dates and locations:Glasgow Wed., Jan. 6, at the Cottonwood InnPlentywood Thurs., Jan. 7, at the Jubilee Room in the Sheridan Co. CourthouseHavre Tues., Jan. 12, at Hill County ElectricMalta Wed., Jan. 20, upstairs at First State Bank Comments may be submitted at these public meetings, online at fwp.mt.gov or by mail to: FWP Wildlife Division, “attn: hunting season proposals,” PO Box 200701, Helena, MT 59620. Comments are due by 5 p.m. on Jan. 22, 2015.

way traffic, emphasizing the power of this future proof technology.” In April 2015, Nemont announced the first gigabit capable network in Montana. Leading the pack and pushing for more future proof technology has always been a priority for Nemont. “The expansion of Nemont’s gigabit services shows that Nemont is on the leading edge of service providers who are investing in their networks to deliver the ultimate broadband experience to their subscribers,” said John Colvin, senior vice president of North America sales for Calix. Nemont has been deploying fiber in their 14,000 square mile service territory since 2007.

Great news for Chocolate Buffs! For the ancient culture of the Americas, chocolate, or cacao, was a sacred plant. Its use is thought to have begun with the Olmecs about 1200 B.C. and continued with the Maya and Aztec. The Aztec restricted drinks made from cacao seed to ceremonial use and consumption by high-ranking adult males – priests, government officials and warriors. The good news is that recent studies show that cacao seeds contain more than 300 different chemical compounds. These include the stimulant caffeine as well as theobromine, an alkaloid that has a calming effect on the nervous system. Cacao also contains compounds that tend to reducedepression and may induce a slight sense of euphoria, as well as powerful antioxidant compounds that may help protect against cancer and heart disease. Some medical professionals even recommend a daily “dose” of about an ounce and a half of dark chocolate for its cardiovascular benefits. This writer’s food budget already includes some chocolate and after coming upon the above informationit may be doubled – or tripled? It is so easy to believe (even the sacred part) in something so tasty! – Milt Gunderson, Daniels County Leader
