To all of those fortunate enough to call him family or friend, the late Donald J. Baker's generous spirit was well known. Now, thanks to his extraordinary bequests to numerous Montana foundations, that spirit will become a living legacy in perpetuity. One of those foundations, the Glasgow High School Educational Trust, is honored and humbled to announce the receipt of $732,791.70 ($34,886.27 to be added to an existing endowment within the trust in the names of L.J. and Jean Baker, his parents,...

Election Day for the special election for Montana’s at-large congressional district is set for Thursday, May 25. This will be the first election held since the recent change in voting districts in Valley County, where voting districts were aligned with house districts and the number of precincts were reduced to three. All in-person voting, no matter where you reside in Valley County, will now take place at the Glasgow Civic Center. Valley County Clerk and Recorder Lynn Nyquist also added that they will be hand-tallying the votes for the e...
A packed house welcomed Rob Quist at the Loaded Toad coffee shop and Sean R. Heavey gallery on May 18. The Democrat is challenging Republican Greg Gianforte and Libertarian Mark Wicks for Montana's at-large congressional district seat in the upcoming special election. Speaking to area voters, Quist outlined his positions on healthcare (supports the ACA, with improvements), women's reproductive rights (pro-choice), and land use issues, distinguishing himself from Gianforte on the latter issue by...
Glasgow's Swing Choir did not disappoint at their annual spring concert held May 18, at the Ridge Runners Club. The performance has become quite an attraction, with this year's concert drawing almost 400 people. The performance featured the choir's take on several pop songs that spanned several generations and genres. The energy from the group had several in attendance leaving their seats and dancing as the troupe performed masterfully. A lot of time goes into preparing for the gig. Swing Choir...
Cat Reitler (formerly Sugg) is a talented local artist who creates unique pieces here in Glasgow and throughout the state. Her original prints are available for purchase through Amazon, which allows her work to be shipped to other parts of the country as well. She recently created a piece for the Montana Warriors on the Water auction coming up on Saturday, July 15. The painting features a bull elk over the Missouri Breaks. After her formal arts schooling, Reitler owned and operated the Goodkind...
It saddens me that this week we will memorialize a father, a husband and a Broadwater County Sheriff Deputy whose life was taken at far too young of an age. This being May, it is also the month of memorializing those who served and gave their lives in battle for this country. Not to make this about myself, but I served three tours over seas with the Marine Corps, and after returning to Montana, I tried my hand in law enforcement for a few months before taking the National Guard Recruiting job here in Glasgow. I will say that the two jobs -...
On Saturday (May 20) I attended the political rally for Rob Quist with special guest Bernie Sanders in Butte, Mont. It began with two locals sharing their healthcare stories. A woman who had battled cancer three different times, is now facing loss of healthcare due to pre-existing conditions. While “high risk pools” are the Republicans’ answer to this problem, those pools will drive up the cost of healthcare for people in need that many will have to simply choose against enrollment. When this woman dealt with high risk pools before the ACA,...
Do you remember picking up the telephone and getting an operator? I only vaguely remember those days. If you have more accurate memories, please forgive me and feel free to give me a call. As I recall, once you picked up your phone receiver, the operator answered by saying “number please” at which time you gave her the number you wished to be connected to. If you lived in a small community, which had a local telephone office, you might not even have to give the number you needed. All you might need to do was ask to be connected to the loc...
The headlines read: "Well-Known Educator Killed in Car Accident." But there was much more to that. Russell Grandel, geologist, his wife, Mary Ellen, R.N., along with their nearly 2-year-old son, Frazier, were hit by this man who came at them from the opposite lane. The Grandels were just moving into their newly-purchased home in the valley of Palmer, Alaska, and had decided to take a break by driving to nearby Wasilla. Russell, my son-in-law, saw the vehicle coming at them, but couldn’t completely avoid it. The impact was terrific. All the G...
There are two upcoming events in Valley County in June and September that are a testimony to determination, hard work, communities pulling together, but most of all to hope and faith. In late June, the Bethel Grain Church north of Nashua will celebrate its 100th anniversary. Late September will see the parish of Queen of Angels Catholic Church, in Nashua, celebrating its 100th anniversary. Several years ago, Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Nashua had its 100th anniversay. To me, these celebrations hold stories of groups of people who had a...
To the COMMUNITY: I entered your town on Thursday with a heavy heart from the loss of a friend named Tim (Timmy) Young. I, like you, had all the questions and emotions running through my mind from the moment I received the shocking news on Sunday. I was fortunate to know Tim for a few years and unfortunate (very) not to have known him longer. He joined our family as Tim Young and became Timmy to those of us at Food Services of America. Throughout the course of my life, I have made several trips “north to the Hi-Line” and this one was to be one...
I am still so amazed at the town of Glasgow, Montana for all the love and support that was shown to the Tim Young family this week after his untimely death. I have never seen a town come together as this one has. I am a 2nd or 3rd cousin? and I wished I had known the Tim Young you all had the privilege of knowing. I believe he loved everyone from young to old and I don’t think he ever had an enemy. The services they had for Tim told it all!! The center was packed with people and I’m thinking maybe 600 - 700 people but was told later that the...

Glasgow hosted the Northern B Divisional track meet on May 20, with 11 teams showing up to compete. Although there were some disappointed Scotties, the team as a whole had a super day of competition. Head coach Tim Phillips was pleased with both the boys and girls. "I don't think anybody had a bad day," he said. "We had some who didn't compete at their best, but with that many kids, it's bound to happen." Six individual champions contributed to Glasgow's success. For the boys, Luke Breigenzer...
It was another impressive display of talent, athleticism and endurance at the Eastern BC Softball Tournament held in Glasgow May 18, 19 and 20.

Following two early blow-outs against Colstrip (15-0) and Cut Bank (14-5) on Friday, the Scotties came back the next day to play three straight games against Huntley Project. The Red Devils were the only...
The Scottie golfers traveled to Shelby for the State B golf meet last week. The meet was originally scheduled to run May 16 and 17, but in typical Montana fashion, weather interrupted the event and the second day of competition was postponed until May 18.
