The former Glasgow Courier building comes down in stages after the new owners Mike and Jan Kaiser took possession of the property. The two are not quite ready to talk about their plans for the soon to be clean slate, but the building has been raised to the ground in only a matter of weeks. The Courier moved from the location in February 2019 to their new address at 54226 US Highway 2 next to Crazy Woman Quilts. The Courier had called 3rd Street South home since 1960....
"That's been 2020," said Jennifer McAllister, Opheim public school superintendent, as she explained how plans for graduation and the community celebration had been upended by Mother Nature. An afternoon rainstorm drove the already-delayed ceremonies from the community park into the gym, but the inclement weather did not deter the Opheim community from gathering to celebrate the accomplishments of their students. The novel coronavirus has wreaked havoc on plans and schedules for months now, even...
Dear Editor, In a recent U.S. District Court ruling by Judge Brian Morris, the American public heard loud and clear that the federal administration broke the law when it offered leases on public lands in critical sage grouse habitat. This court decision speaks volumes about how public lands should be managed, with certainty, and in a manner that considers true multiple use – including maintaining wildlife populations. The Department of Interior was found to have violated the law by issuing an i...
At the beginning of June, Montana Governor Steve Bullock announced the state was making available $2 million dollars to boost in-state processing and storage capacity for local meat processors. The monies will come from the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. Local meat processors saw a boom in business as the industry giants suffered from virus outbreaks, employee absenteeism, and plant closures. Consumers across the country turned to local processors to fill an expected void as ranchers were left with extra...

Editor’s Note: This column was submitted to us on June 7. Due to space in the past few issues of the Courier, this column was held. I’m still enjoying fresh rhubarb and asparagus, but not together of course! I still haven’t made a rhubarb pie, but I did make a sugar-free, wheat flour-free rhubarb crisp, so as to be compliant with the Whole Life Challenge nutritional plan. I used almond flour and coconut palm sugar. That sweetener is dark, like brown sugar, so the dessert wasn’t as pretty as other rhubarb crisps, but it was tasty. I’ll try a dif...
After weeks of uncertainty of whether or not there would be a baseball season as the state started its reopening plan, the Glasgow Reds officially started their season at home field on June 13 with a double-header against the Laurel Dodgers, followed by another double-header against the Glendive Blue Devils on June 14. The first game against the Dodgers saw the Reds struggle to defend themselves against the powerful Laurel offense. The Reds gave up 21 runs throughout the five innings of play,...

Golf in the best of conditions is a challenging game. Whipping wind is expected in northeast Montana and adds another degree of difficulty. Limiting golfers to just three clubs for 18 rounds is a recipe for entertainment, for observers if not the participants. A bevy of colorful phrases was heard across the course as golfers struggled to put their little dimpled ball in the hole in an acceptable number of strokes during the 3 Club tournament at Sunnyside Country Club on June 13. At the end of...
