Glasgow resident Andrew McKean loves the outdoors and has worn many hats within the outdoor industry. He has been a hunter, an independent journalist writing about the outdoors and even as former editor-in-chief of Outdoor Life magazine. It's only fitting he was one of 16 people throughout the state to be selected by Governor Bullock to serve on the Get Outdoors Montana Advisory. As a member, he is tasked with growing and making Montana's outdoor recreation economy more viable. "The outdoor...
Senator Steve Daines hosted a town hall at the Glasgow VFW Post 3107 l Feb. 15 to meet with and take questions from constituents. The stop was one of many on a total tour of the Big Sky State that included a stop in all 56 counties. In front of a very friendly crowd that applauded much of what Daines discussed, he opened his speech with a recap of his recent trip to the Rio Grande Valley along the Mexico border where he met with border patrol agents and did a ride along during an evening patrol....
Even with modern medicine and vaccination schedules, the measles are making the rounds throughout the United States. According to the Center for Disease Control, from Jan. 1 through Feb. 14 of this year, 127 individual cases of measles have been confirmed in 10 states, with the closest being Washington and Oregon. Even though there are no confirmed cases in Montana, as of yet, precautions need to be put in place to ensure the safety of yourself and your loved ones.

Over the past few years, Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital and the various departments within the hospital have seen much needed upgrades and face-lifts in order to keep compliant with healthcare regulations and also provide patients with the best possible care. Patients of the hospital and the Glasgow Clinic have learned to adapt and have had to be more aware of their surroundings as many departments have moved locations and corridors have been closed off to allow for construction. "We are...

Dear Editor, Recently a friend handed me a Letter to the Editor written by Ed Butcher, a former State Senator, retired teacher, and outspoken critic of the American Prairie Reserve – the subject of that letter. "Read this, Stan, and tell me what you think," he said with a grin - knowing that I like what APR is doing. Mr. Butcher's letter was an attack on the American Prairie Reserve, a privately funded, tax-paying enterprise in eastern Montana's dry-land prairie. It isn't competing with a...
Dear Editor, If zebra mussels are allowed to gain a foothold in Montana waters, it could cost Montanans hundreds of millions of dollars per year. It might seem dramatic, but it's true-certain invasive species of mussels could do a massive amount of damage to Montana lakes, rivers, and water supply. And if we don't do anything about it, it'll be Montanans footing the bill. The Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation released a new report outlining the enormous economic damage to...
The following is a statement from the Superintendant of Glasgow Public Schools Bob Connors on the recent drop off of students in St. Marie last Friday. Details about that Story can be found in Saint Matie News in section C of this edition of the Courier. Friday, Feb. 15, due to the snowy road conditions in St. Marie, the school buses that service that area released students as close to their homes as possible, not at designated stops. We apologize for the lack of communication on the District’s part. These commitments are for all routes that t...
“When the elderly die, a library is lost and volumes of wisdom and knowledge are gone.” This is a line I happened upon sometime ago and have thought about so often. How many times has an item crossed your mind and you have that brief thought about asking your Mom or Dad about it, or maybe an elderly neighbor? The sad thing is that there are not too many of those people left anymore. Not long ago I found myself reminding someone that Glasgow did have a bakery and was surprised they did not remember. The tables were then turned somewhat, as I w...

Singer-songwriter Almeda Bradshaw will be taking audience members on a journey to learn more about forgotten women singers on Sunday, March 3, starting at 7 p.m., at the Valley County Pioneer Museum with free admission. Dale Evan's success as Queen of the West is owed to a century of cowgirls in show business. Made sensationally popular by dime-store novels and touring Wild West troupes, a public love affair began with the clean-cut cowgirl image which allowed women a respectable avenue into...
The Glasgow Scotties faced a daunting task during the District 2B Tournament held in Glasgow ,Feb. 14-16. The experience for both the boys and girls mirrored each other, somewhat. Both teams were required to prevail in a play-in game on the 14th before they could even enter the tournament bracket.

The 19U Ice Dawgs hosted the Bismarck Capitals in one game at the Valley Event Center on Feb. 17. The Lady Ice Dawgs were unable to out-score their opponent and lost by two goals, 3-1. While Bismarck lit the lamp three times early in the game, Glasgow was not able to answer until the final period of the game when Katie Kaiser found the back of the net for her team, denying a shut-out for Bismarck. The game was light on penalties as well, with each team picking up just three each. Senior goalie...
I’m sorry I missed getting a column in the paper last week, but I was away visiting our youngest daughter in Illinois. She’s also a cross fit enthusiast, and friends with a nutritionist. Therefore, she’s very strong on portion sizes, and having the right varieties of food on the plate. She isn’t doing the Whole Life Challenge, but might as well be. I didn’t worry about straying from the nutrition side of things. There was a lot of freezing rain while I was there, so for exercise, I hiked up and down the staircase and around the living ro...
