Despite prognostications that any action on the USMCA would be delayed due to the upcoming presidential impeachment hearings in the Senate, the trade agreement has passed out of the upper chamber and is on its way to the President’s desk for his signature. USMCA was voted out of the Senate Finance Committee by a 25-3 margin on Jan. 7 and proceeded to pass the full Senate with an 89-10 vote on Jan. 16. The new trade agreement between the United States, Canada and Mexico is set to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement, which had been i...
Over the past few months, Nashua resident John Walker has been keeping busy being an advocate for farmers and ranchers of all ages. In September he was elected President of the Valley County Farm Bureau and in November was elected to be a part of the Young Farmer and Rancher (YF&R) Committee for the Montana Farm Bureau. Both roles allow him to not only recruit new members into making changes for the community of agriculture, but also provide a voice at the county, state and federal levels. "I...
Nashua sixth-grader Madison Harris, in addition to some of her classmates, participated in the Ag in Color Drawing contest, which is a part of Montana Farm Bureau Federation's Montana Youth (MT) Agriculture Literacy program. Harris' drawing of her horse, Crazy Cora, and her brother's calf, RosaVell, with a sunset in the background was chosen as the county winner in the sixth-grade category, making her eligible to move onto the State-level competition, with judging results expected to be...
Dear Editor, We've reached a pivotal moment for Montana farmers and ranchers, as three critical trade deals are finalized and implemented. The benefits here are enormous, and I strongly believe Montana's agricultural industry can look forward to renewed success and optimism this year. As a fourth-generation Montana rancher from Miles City, and the President of the Montana Stockgrowers Association, the steps we took over the last year will deliver big wins for Montana agriculture. First, the...
Dear Editor, I am writing to thank Glasgow residents for sharing the true meaning of Christmas with children in need this past holiday season. Because of the generosity of donors in Glasgow and across the United States, Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan's Purse, collected more than 8.9 million shoebox gifts in 2019. Combined with those collected from partnering countries in 2019, the ministry is now sending 10,569,405 shoebox gifts to children worldwide. Through shoeboxes-packed...
Dear Editor, America is a powerful country. We have the strongest military, but it's not the source of our true strength. The true measure of the power we possess is not enhanced nor embraced when we are fighting a war but rather when we are leading the charge in diplomacy and peace-building to ensure a more prosperous future for our children. War should be the very last resort for a country that is made up of all the different places and regions of the world. War should also have a defined and...
Dear Editor, Recently one of our members submitted a letter expressing his opinions about the Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame. We disagree with his characterizations of the past few years of challenges that our organization has faced. We have engaged with this member over the past two years to address this, yet he persists in his misperceptions. We are moving forward and I am optimistic about the future. First, we are excited to celebrate our 12th class of inductees into the Montana Cowboy Hall of...
Do you remember the days when there were ushers at the Survant Theater? This was a position that deserved uniforms. Please feel free to correct me, but I vaguely remember the color of these uniforms as gold and burgundy. Did the Roxy and Orpheum Theaters have ushers also? The ushers not only took you to a seat of your preference, but monitored customers during the show. It was common to have the usher or ushers walk the aisle with a flashlight to make sure none of us had our feet on the seats or were annoying the patrons seated in front of us....
We are winding down our Florida sojourn. I am not looking forward to returning from this green semi-tropical paradise to our frozen white tundra. The grandsons had a weekend off from hockey, so we took advantage of that and visited a beach. Shark Tooth Beach, near Venice, Fla., has darker sand than other beaches we've been to on previous Florida trips. It's fossiliferous sand, formed from the sea life that was left behind when the waters receded millennia ago. Apparently, a lot of that sea life...

The high school Ice Dawgs traveled to Bozeman Jan. 11 and 12 for a pair of intense games against the Icedogs. The Dawgs came home with one loss and one win, and a whole lot of pride. Ike Braaten, captain, told the Courier, "It was nice to beat a bigger team." The win wasn't the only thing the boys were proud of, it was the intensity of the play over the two games. On Saturday, Glasgow dropped the game and the gloves. The end of the game saw Michael Uphues ejected for fighting and a final score...

The girls battled hard, succumbing to the Spartans by a mere two points while the boys could not keep up with the Spartans’ offense, losing 63 to 28. “It was a very physical and technical game and we came up just two points short. We talked about the importance of winning the rebounding war every game and have been working a lot on it in practice but that is one area we didn’t get the job done and a big reason why w...
