Keep it sunny. And safe. A slightly modified catch phrase at the golf course this season, but it is working. In keeping with protocols outlined by Governor Steve Bullock and local health officials, Sunnyside Country Club has been welcoming golfers back to the greens with a few noticable changes. Women's and Men's leagues kicked off last week with the women on the links Tuesday evening, May 26, and the men swinging clubs on Thursday, May 28. Despite new health and safety requirements this year...
Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital has added a new procedure and new technology to help patients with their gallstone needs instead of having to travel to Billings. ERCP, also known as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, provides the ability to better treat gallbladder and gallstone issues. Due to this procedure, new technology, a disposable duodenoscope, was also obtained to ensure the most sanitary experience for the patient. "There have been problems overall with duodenoscopes...
The Valley County Pool Campaign committee has been working hard behind the scenes these past few months, continuing to get the word out everywhere they can for the need of a new pool and bathhouse in Glasgow. From writing grants, to adding another option to donate, to making the first official step of making the campaign a reality, even during the midst of a pandemic, the committee is out there in full force to make the dream a reality. Recently, the campaign was awarded a $250,000 Land and Water Conservation Fund grant, which is a federal...
For the Valley County Landfill, illegal dumping is not a new thing. In fact, an article in the Courier from 1995 and an article in the Good Evening Glasgow in 2000 each address illegal dumping or the assessment of fees for dumping “above and beyond household garbage” at sanitary landfills around the county. The issue has been so widespread in fact, that the first camera monitoring systems went in 20 years ago and the fees—the exact same ones in place today—were established around that same time. “We just didn’t put any teeth into them,” expl...
Dear Editor, The COVID-19 viral pandemic seems to have caught our population unprepared. Global Free Trade leaves us susceptible to another viral pandemic--foot and mouth disease (FMD). Fresh and frozen meat from enzootic (infected) countries can contain the live virus. Therefore imported meat from an enzootic country falsely labeled 'product of the USA' can be infective. The virus is devastating, very contagious, and can cause lasting health issues in infected animals that survive. It spreads...
Dear Editor, Water rights in Montana have been the topic of much discussion and rulings, both legislatively and judicially, over the past 40 plus years. To say this has resulted in a totally confused mess would be an understatement. When the dust finally settled it became apparent that vested water rights on allotments managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Montana were being taken away from the private citizens. How did this happen? After many hours of poring through historic and...
Deciding to have toast with our coffee the other morning, we put the bread in, pushed down the lever and went to the coffee pot. In a very short time we heard and saw SPARKS flying from the toaster. A trip to town or a visit to Amazon was in order. Not having the incentive to do either at the moment, I put the toaster out of my mind. Several days later I was feeling hungry for breakfast toast. Oh, no toaster! It was then that I was reminded that I did have a toaster buried somewhere in my treasures. I do remember the toaster sitting on the...

Dear Glasgow Residents, I would like to comment on the numerous Facebook comments pertaining to the commercial hanging flower pots and trees in the downtown area. The comments state that local tax dollars have been used to purchase the flowers, trees and benches in the downtown area. This is not true! Many current and past Glasgow residents, local businesses, grants and donations from TC Energy, Northwestern Energy, Thrivent Lutheran, WELCA, Montana Aviation Research Company, Glasgow Area Chamber of Commerce, Soroptimists, Two Rivers Growth,...
