This begins a series of articles over the next several weeks that will focus on educating the community about drug use in Valley County. If you've looked at your friends and neighbors and the local community with rose colored glasses, you might not realize the secrets that lurk behind the doors. The truth is that Valley County has seen its share of drug issues. Some of those drug issues have increased from the influence of the Bakken. "Meth labs have gone away, but it's more accessible," Valley... Full story
It might not be a memorable building for some. The white building with cracks and dingy paint isn't an attractive view, and some worry it might give the wrong impression of Glasgow. While it looks weathered, it's also a building that's used on a daily basis. The Glasgow Train Depot has seen years of weather and use. Passengers have come and gone, workers have come and gone, but the building still stands at 424 1st Ave. S., for the most part untouched. Tami Burke, administrator for the Tourism Bu...
If you pay the propane man to heat the house you probably felt the pain that came with the price per gallon. While Glasgow isn’t feeling the pinch as much as other communities, the community is still seeing prices close to 30 percent higher. Currently Agland in Nashua and Ezzie’s West End are charging about $2.95 a gallon, compared to $1.85 last year. Prices have skyrocketed all over the state of Montana, with Culbertson and other towns paying around $5 a gallon, or more. The cold temperatures that have been felt all over the nation this win...
Wednesday, Feb. 5, was a rough day for Earl Cawthorne, of Medical Lake, Wash. He was hauling a rental truck from Penske for his company, R Factor, based out of Spokane, Wash. Unfortunately he didn't read the height sign going into the Glasgow underpass at 9:05 a.m. Cawthorne didn't immediately stop when he entered the underpass and the sound of the top ripping off the trailer could be heard at the First Community Bank, according to Lt. Brian Gault. He said that the trailer was probably near a...
While some students shook their heads in distaste for another project, others jumped at the chance to play with their curiosity. The 19th Glasgow Kiwanis Science Fair took place this last week at the East Side School. While projects weren't required, students did get a chance for extra credit and had the chance to advance to the regional science fair in Havre. Projects were displayed for judges on Saturday, Feb. 8 and Monday, Feb. 10. The public was invited to look on Monday and shortly after...
Here's a sampling of releases to The Courier on the appointment of former Lt. Gov. John Walsh to replace Max Baucus, the new ambassador to China, in the U.S. Senate. Sen. John Walsh Friend – I’ve answered many calls in my life and today I proudly answer one more. In 2004, I was asked to lead more than 700 of Montana’s finest men and women into combat in Iraq as the Commander of the 1-163rd Infantry Battalion. It was a tremendous responsibility. It took incredible courage for those men and women to do what our nation asked of them. They put s... Full story
According to the folks who are in the know about things like this, they say that it is getting tougher and harder to land a good job after graduating college. The big question is why? Of course we can't all be an extremely intelligent, witty, articulate and handsome columnist writers can we?

We were greeted warmly at each business we visited. The coaches, volunteers and judges at the tournament were spoiled with delicious treats from the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce & Agriculture and other volunteers. John...
Recent news reports have included the major snow in the Eastern states and the hardship some children had to endure by spending the night at school, sleeping on hard floors. I think there are a couple of gentlemen in our area that may have a hard time sympathizing with those kids. One of the aforementioned gentlemen told me of a time in the ‘30s (maybe about 1936) when two Glasgow buses were unable to make the routes home, leaving these kids stranded at the high school. (Many of you will remember it as the old junior high building.) This was n...

Rachael Zeiger casually walks into the gym of Glasgow High School after school one day and immediately walks onto the basketball court where senior boys guard Lane Herbert is shooting by himself before practice. "Lane, do you need a rebounder?" Zeiger asked. "Sure," Herbert replied as he continued to drain his shots. Rachael Zeiger didn't always know that she was meant to be a runner. All she did know is that she is super competitive in whatever sport she plays. Growing up, Rachael admitted...
When you’re hot, you’re hot as my old non-acquaintance Jerry Reed once didn’t tell me and that is exactly what the Raiders, boys and girls are today. The boys are leading the 3C with a record of 11-1 (15-1 overall) and the girls are in second place with 10-2 (14-2 overall) as we head into the final week of conference play. Thirty-two games, combined Raiders and Lady Raiders, with just three losses. That’s huge folks. And by this bumbled writer’s estimation The Raiders and Lady Raiders are peaking at just the right time. On Friday Scobey wi...

Scotties head coach Norm Braaten said there is no rush in getting Herbert back on the court. “I want him healthy for Districts so if that means not playing this wee...
