Most young people in small towns like Glasgow will tell you: There isn't much to do. So people like Cody King, his friends, and many others make their own fun tinkering with cars. Sometimes, the outcome can be different than you might have imagined starting out. Cody's 1976 Ford LTD is not really a car anymore, but kind of a work of art. Its back end and trunk have been replaced with a custom flatbed (with plans for a built-in cooler), some recycled black rims, a custom sound system and a big... Full story
By now, you've probably heard about Morgan Guttenberg and her recent efforts to address childhood hunger in Glasgow. As previously reported in the Courier, Guttenberg is in the process of putting together a Snack-Pack program for the elementary students in the Glasgow Public School system. The idea originated after she attended a retreat regarding the growing problem of childhood hunger in Montana. At the retreat, she learned about actions that could be taken to help end this problem. Her goal...

The grants are intended for projects assisting young people, the elderly, and infrastructure, explained Glasgow’s Sam Waters, who chairs the Grant Committee.

As the race for the Democratic presidential nomination heads deeper into spring, some Montana Democrats are wondering if lightning will strike twice. That’s because for the second time in eight years their party may not have a clear-cut presidential nominee by the time Montana’s June 7 primary rolls around. The last time that happened was in 2008, when former New York Sen. Hillary Clinton and first-term Sen. Barack Obama brought their campaigns to the Treasure State in the run-up to a historic primary showdown. While the delegate math this tim...
Action for Eastern Montana’s Head Start program in Glasgow is a comprehensive child development pre-school program serving children ages 3-4 and their families. The program is designed to increase school readiness and develop a child’s potential to the fullest. Children enjoy a creative learning experience while getting ready for kindergarten. Your 3-4-year-old will discover art and music, join in “hands-on” activities, develop fine and gross motor skills, explore reading, writing and math and make friends. The school program runs five days a...
As folks begin to enjoy spring gardening, mosquitoes will begin enjoying spring gardeners! The winter we have had this 2015–2016 has been quite mild to say the least. However we are not that lucky to escape the pesky little bloodsuckers. Over-wintering female mosquitoes will be on the lookout for a blood meal, which they need for egg production. Soon after egg development, they will be in search of water on which to lay their eggs, and for their young (larvae and pupae) to grow. Standing water left by recent rains will provide development sites...
A long time ago, I saw a greeting card that said, “You only have today. Make the most of it.” That was brought home to me late Friday when I received a call telling me my cousin, Dorothy, had died. She and I were the sisters that neither of us had. We spent many hours throughout the years laughing, talking, pulling pranks, and later on remembering those times. As teenagers, we did things that we knew we shouldn’t, but did anyway. Like shortening our skirts to above-knee length. Dorothy and her family lived about 30 miles from us. Her dad and my...

The Nashua Art Club, which has been fundraising all year long, took the long-awaited trip to Missoula this past weekend. We took off from the school Thursday morning toward Helena, for our scheduled tour of the internationally acclaimed Archie Bray Clay Foundation. The Archie Bray was founded in 1951 with the help of Peter Voulkos and Rudy Autio, two ceramicists whose work is still found around the grounds. The Foundation is in what was originally a brick-making factory, remnants of which are still found around the grounds, including a large...
In response to a post on social media from my sister (she’s such a catalyst), I’ve just finished posting a photo of myself online. In it, I am holding a small sign saying,” The Bible says: “All are created in the image of God,” and “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Quit mixing Christianity with secular law! “Render unto Caesar...” This was very difficult for me for a couple of reasons. One, I’m very critical of my appearance in photos. I freely admit to vanity, a minor flaw compared to other flaws I have. And two (much more importan...
Remember politics from years past? I do try to stay clear of any mention of politics or religion in my articles, but I cannot believe how much I have learned about our election process in just this last year. Do I not remember correctly (that is a distinct possibility)? I don’t recall learning about the many fine points or potential means of selecting a candidate to run for President. I do remember those classes in junior high and high school, and my perception at the time was that all U.S. citizens had the honored privilege and duty to v...
I just read a book loaned to me by Howard about how the Islamic people will be in command of the world as we know it by the turn of the next century. Want to hear about it? If not, just turn the channel to another station. But as usual, I digress. I started out to tell you how our Millennial grandchildren will be controlled by the Islamic faith, not only here but in Europe, Canada and the rest of the Christian world according to Mark Steyn, author of America Alone, The End Of The World As We Know It. Some of you who read this will scoff and say...
Let's say Bernie Sanders gets elected. He completes his free college plan. Everyone gets their degrees. What happens next? The same thing that has been happening for years. Young people graduate from college and they don’t find a good job. Or they go and find a job that they could have gotten four, five, six years earlier without their degree. In the 2010 US Census, only 62 percent of people with degrees had a job that required one, and 27 percent of people had jobs associated with their degree’s major. Now imagine if everyone could go to col...
A feminist is: “A person who believes in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes.” You may have heard this particular phrase in Beyonce’s song “Flawless,” but it was originally spoken by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, a women’s rights activist, during her Ted Talk, We Should All Be Feminists. As I’ve thought about it, I can’t pin the exact moment when I “became” a feminist, but looking back on my life, I think I have always been moved by strong women. My great-grandmother found her husband in the middle of an affair, divorced hi...
