Based upon the latest models at press time, the National Weather Service in Glasgow is projecting that flooding is almost imminent for the Milk River in Glasgow; it's just a matter of when. Thankfully, flooding hasn't really been on anyone's radar lately due to abnormally low temperatures for this time of year. According to Warning Coordination Meteorologist Patrick Gilchrist, it is very unusual to have this much snow on the ground this time of year, stating, "The longer we hold onto the snow,...
After reviewing 2016 FBI crime report statistics and population data, SafeWise, a safety and security system reviewer company, recently identified Glasgow as the fourth safest city in Montana.

Malta resident Susan Green knows first hand what it is like to lose a baby early on. She lost one of her twins in utero over 17 years ago. She said she had also known people and friends who had experienced the loss of a newborn or young infant. Because of those experiences, she recognized a need at the two local hospitals in her hometown, and sought to provide what is known as a Cuddle Cot. According to Brandi Knierim, a registered nurse at Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital, the idea behind a...
Anthony "A.J." Etherington started a new chapter in his life earlier this week by becoming the newest publisher at the Glasgow Courier. Etherington is not a new face at the paper or around Glasgow as many of you have seen him around town at the local coffee shop, downtown, either walking or collecting funds for Block of Bucks, and might have even seen him with his family at various events. You might have even learned a little something through his articles profiling politicians, Valley View Nurs...

Dear Reader, Courier can be defined in two ways. First, as a person who transports goods or documents. Second, as a person employed to guide or assist a group of people, usually tourists. With that in mind, I wanted to take this opportunity to provide clarity to the Courier’s ideal mission for Valley County. As the Voice of Valley County since 1913, the Courier has served tirelessly to cover and report the events of our community. We have sought to provide those messages and to deliver the information you need to do your job as citizens. I b...
Dear Editor, Hello! I am a fourth grade student in North Carolina. In fourth grade, we research a state for our State Fair, and I have chosen your state! I am very excited to learn more about the great state of Montana as I work on my report. While we will research most of the information ourselves, we also like to get firsthand knowledge from people who live in the state. This is why I’m writing to you. I was hoping that you would be willing to send me some small items to help me learn more about the best things in your state. It could be t...
I would like to share with you some of the City of Glasgow’s accomplishments that took place in 2017 and what our goals are for 2018. I will be updating you on different subjects and projects, and our progress via Glasgow Courier, City of Glasgow website and KLTZ/KLAN. Today I would like to address our levee system. 2017 was a pivotal year for the City of Glasgow as we worked on numerous issues. Some of those issues were resolved, some were taken to the next level, and some evolved into other issues. We also took on a number of projects, s...
I could not do what our educators do. They deserve to be paid well. Very well. In recent news, educators in Oklahoma, West Virginia and Kentucky organized and implemented walk-outs in their states in an effort to secure more funding for education. In addition to near-poverty level wages, some teachers nationwide have also gone decades without wage increases, and are facing billions in budget cuts. In Montana, the beginning teacher salary is $31,456 and the average teacher salary is $52,776 (Montana Education Association – Montana Federation o...
In a press release sent out last week, Superintendent of Glasgow Public Schools Bob Connors sought to explain the district’s proposed general fund levy. The proposed levy will be voted on at the May 8, annual school election. According to Connors, the district will be asking for a levy increase of 8.12 mills. This proposal will bring the new total school levy assessment to 85.10 mills up from 76.98 mills the previous years. The intent in increasing the general fund levy, according to the district’s release, is to increase wage com...
My memories are a jumble today. My first thought was hunting Easter eggs in the snow. I honestly do not remember ever hunting them in the snow, but as I tried to make my mind go back that far, it occurred to me that I really do not remember hunting for Easter eggs at all as a child. Yes, I have hidden my share of them, but how many of the “older” generation remembers spending the Saturday before Easter, hunting eggs, or finishing Easter dinner, impatiently waiting for the adults to finish up so that you could get on with the important bus...

Once again, Northeast Montana's unpredictable, yet typical, weather has slowed the start of the spring sports season. Severe weather and heavy snowfall has been a factor in the postponement and cancellation of several spring events. Shelby's golf invitational scheduled for March 23 and the Scottie Softball Red and White Game scheduled for March 27 were both cancelled due to inclement weather. Glasgow's popular invitational track meet was originally scheduled for March 29, but had to be...
