"Hockey fans aren't like other fans." That was the tagline for a series of commercials from several years back. What the commercials did not say, and did not have to, was that hockey fans are different because hockey players are different. Notorious for their toughness and passion, hockey players are known for playing through, despite injuries. From getting stitches on the bench without anesthesia to hockey blades slicing carotid arteries and jugular veins, hockey players return to the ice to...
Irle School first-grade students in Mrs. Overby's, Mrs. Boyer's, and Mrs. Qualls' classes had quite the learning experience on Feb. 25. Thanks to the generosity of Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital's physician assistant Jace Ball and Fifth Avenue Pharmacy's manager Holly Burleson donating hair nets, masks, gowns and gloves, these students had the opportunity to be word surgeons while learning about contractions at the same time. Irle School's first-grade students had learned about contractions...
The VFW Teacher of the Year award contest was established to recognize teachers who have committed to teaching their students Americanism and patriotism. According to the VFW's website, "Without our nation's veterans, America wouldn't be the great nation it is today. Our youth deserve to learn about our rich history, traditions and the role of our veterans in creating and shaping America." This year's nominee from VFW Post 3107 is Ms. Denise Winchester, a second-grade teacher at Irle Elementary...
Since 1790, the U.S. Census, which is mandated by the Constitution, has occurred every 10 years. This year marks another decade where information needs to be obtained in order to determine funding, possibly another U.S. House seat for the state and to better the community. Starting March 12, households will begin receiving an invitation to respond to the 2020 Census either through their mail or dropped off directly at their household. The Census is very important for every household to complete as the data obtained is used to determine more...
Dear Mr. Etherington, I am writing to "The Courier" to clarify an article that you, Mr. Etherington wrote, which was published on Feb. 12, 2020, entitled "U.S. Marine Laid To Rest In Hinsdale." Mr. Etherington, I want to assure you that this "U.S. Marine," Bruce Powers, did NOT die alone. The reason I can assure You he was not alone, is because I was the nurse holding his hand and assuring him I would not leave him alone, while the song "A Better Man" by Clint Black was playing in the background...
Dear Editor, At our last work session, I was taken to the woodshed by my colleagues on the Public Service Commission. Yup. A good, old-fashioned tongue lashing – led by that paragon of professionalism, Randy Pinocci. Okay, I obviously had it coming. From Pinocci's perspective, the extensive hacking of my PSC e-mail account, which led to 39 of my messages being dumped onto the internet, was entirely my fault. I had committed the ultimate sin. I was speaking and writing openly about the work of t...
My Fellow Montanans, The Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame Debacle continues. The MCHF Board has wasted nearly $1 million and no one has been held to account. The only way to resolve the malfeasance and waste is for a reorganization of MCHF. For three years I have requested a membership meeting for that purpose, however the board will not allow that to happen. I was shocked as I attended the MCHF Annual Meeting Feb. 8, to again request a membership meeting. The board was aware of my intentions, lo...
Do we even talk about March coming in like a Lion or Lamb anymore? Looking at our weather Monday morning I was trying to decide just how we would define “Lion or Lamb.” The temperatures are certainly not frigid, however I see snow and wind from my window. And we have local flood watches. It is a challenge to keep up with all the new stuff, but just wondered how the Farmer’s Almanac would classify our month of March. I am sure that we can all recall the weather from the months of March in the past, and time goes so fast we will soon know just...
A northeast Montana man was sentenced Feb. 28 in District Court to 100 years in prison with 60 suspended for the crime of incest. He will also be required to register as a level two sex offender, complete sex offender treatment and will not be eligible for parole for 10 years. At the time of the crime he lived in Glasgow but had resided in Daniels County before being sentenced. (Editor’s Note: For the privacy of the child involved, the Glasgow Courier has decided not to report the child’s name or the perpetrator). According to court records, th...

Depending upon how you view reading my musings, you’re either in luck, or doomed. There was no major snowstorm on this Monday morning, March 2, just wind. And that wind was more of a breeze than the major gale we experienced Sunday. It had been warm enough that the fresh snow from the week before partially melted and compacted, so very little of it moved in those gusting winds, although it was drifting across the highway closer to Opheim. It’s still whiter up here beyond the Middle of Nowhere than we’d like. Ah, well, spring is coming. The b...
Just in time for Easter, Jason Myers will have 30 of his exquisitely designed and handmade sugar Easter eggs at the Wheatgrass Arts & Gallery's Artist of the Month reception, located at the gallery, 523 2nd Ave. S., Glasgow. This is Myers' second year to take on this endeavor at the gallery, which has proven to be eye-candy for anyone visiting the gallery during its show. Each piece is made of a sugar and water solution that is molded in an egg shaped form. The surface is then decorated with...
The 19U Glasgow Ice Dawgs emerged victorious from the MAHA State Tournament in Bozeman, Feb. 28, through March 1, bringing home the top trophy and a championship banner. Glasgow kicked off the tournament with a 9-5 win Friday night over the Salmon Rapids. The Dawgs spread their scoring out evenly, putting three pucks in the net per period, outshooting the Rapids 33-23 in the game. Tatum Provencher was first to find the back of the net, assisted by Shanice Lagerquist. Next to light the lamp was...
The Glasgow Ice Dawgs’ Squirts concluded their season at the MAHA State Tournament in Havre this past weekend, Feb. 28 through March 1. While the tournament went much the way the season did for the young team, coach Landon Holte told the Courier, “Kids played very hard and never gave up this whole season.” That hard work did lead to a couple of close games for the Dawgs but unfortunately the team was not able to secure any wins over the weekend. Glasgow faced off against Havre on Friday night and the Dawgs dropped the game by a single goal,...
The Scottie boys basketball team had a disappointing end to their 2020 season at the Northern B Divisional Tournament in Malta on Feb. 27 and 28. Opening the tournament taking on the number one seed, Fairfield, the Scotties managed to hold their own until the end of the third quarter when Fairfield would pull away and maintain their momentum until the close of the fourth. In the end, the Scotties would go onto lose, 42 to 59. In the first quarter of play, the Scotties came out on top, with...

Fighting for Montana’s most vulnerable would just be another bullet in a series of political priorities for almost any other candidate, but for Attorney General Candidate John Bennion, the talking point hits a little closer to home. Bennion’s son, Jack, was born four-months premature and now lives with Cerebral Palsy and is a non-verbal fourth grader. Advocating for his son has been a priority for the MT DOJ Attorney that has made him a self-published author of a children’s book (The Adventures of Jack Pant—Amazon) to educate his son’s p...
Raph Graybill has never held public office but that has not stopped him from seeking the Democratic nomination for Montana’s Attorney General seat and to be the “independent watch dog” for Montana. Most recently, Graybill has worked as Governor Bullock’s Chief Legal Counsel in Helena effectively championing issues for the governor’s office in both state and federal court. One such case Graybill cited as pivotal in his decision to run for AG, was a case he took to the Supreme Court in Montana involving a ranching family that was using the Habit...
