Last week, Montana’s three congressmen introduced the Clean Water for Rural Communities Act to their respective houses in Congress. Senators Steve Daines and Jon Tester introduced the bipartisan bill in the Senate, and Representaåtive Greg Gianforte introduced it in the House of Representatives. While partisanship seems to reign supreme in the beltway, the delegation from Montana came together to introduce a bill to provide authorization for rural water infrastructure. In a joint press release, Rep. Gianforte said, “This critical bipa...

First Community Bank recently donated $500 to the Glasgow schools lunch program to help struggling families cover the cost of providing school lunch for their kids. Every Friday, FCB employees in Glasgow pay two dollars into a fund for the privilege of wearing jeans to work. When the account reaches $500, the money is donated to a need in the community. FCB also recently assisted Irle School in upgrading their playground and making it more inclusive for students and the community by presenting...
Many people think there are fewer opportunities in small schools. They might be right for some schools, but in Opheim, there seems to be plenty to do. Between basketball, BPA, honor concerts and FFA, sometimes it is hard to find any students left in the building. Such was the case when the FFA chapter traveled to Sidney for a Floriculture and Mechanics competition on Jan. 21. Eight students, along with an advisor, a chaperone, and a bus driver, caught the early bus leaving at 5:30 a.m. No one wanted to miss the opportunity to compete. The...
The Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) is reminding residents that February and March will have the greatest potential for ice jams and conditions can change rapidly.

Dear Editor, Montana Farmers Union is a longtime supporter of Country-of-Origin Labeling (COOL) and truth in labeling in general. MFU and National Farmers Union fought alongside several other industry groups for years to label meat, both to give consumers a choice in what they purchased at the meat counter, and to aid US producers, because when given the choice, consumers in this country will buy US Beef and not think twice. The meat packing industry has always fought against COOL, stating that...
Dear Editor, Just read the story about Michael McFaul. Every time I see him on the news I would think of the band director. I had no idea they were related! How fun. I was in high school when Kip McFaul was band director. My dad was publisher of the Courier, 1958-1966. Glasgow has a very special place in my heart. Thanks for allowing me to follow on FB....
Dear Editor, My father, Art Walby, homesteaded in 1917 and the following letters home recorded the weather. History repeats itself and now the East is getting what farmers experienced 100 years ago. Dec. 22, 1922. Believe me, we have had real winter here after it started. We had dandy weather out until Nov. 29 – then it started in. We haven't had much snow, but believe me, it has been cold and stormy all the time. I hope I will never have to put in another spring like last year-horses poorly a...
We will be celebrating a holiday this week -- Valentine’s Day. The usual purchases will be made -- candy, flowers, jewelry. But have you thought about a different way to celebrate Valentine’s Day? It could be so much fun to surprise someone with an unexpected gift. I’m sure we all know of people who are living alone. Granted there are some who have family or close friends who will celebrate the day with them. But what about the ones who have no family around or who are hospitalized or in the nursing home? Even a single rose or small bouqu...
All good things must come to an end. We had a good run boasting about the slower pace of the legislative session. Apparently, all it takes to speed things up is a nasty cold snap and suddenly we all decide it’s a much better idea to stay indoors and discuss bills. This week we testified on many bills covering some very diverse topics. We talked early in the week about funding mechanisms for the Aquatic Invasive Species prevention program and legislation clarifying fossil ownership. The week rounded out with discussions on hemp production in M...
