Glasgow's Cherry Creek Roping Arena and Club hosted the Wrangler Team Roping Championships last weekend, June 20 and 21. According to Del Hansen, a member of the Cherry Creek Roping Club, about 525 roping teams from Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, and Canada competed for cash and various sponsored prizes. Many ropers from northeast Montana who often compete with the local Cherry Creek Roping Club placed well. Kent Christensen of Scobey, header, and Darryl Crowley of Poplar, heeler, won the Sr....
The Elks Club and Lodge 1922 was the site for this year's Flathead Cruisers Father's Day car show. 2nd Ave S. was blocked off and 53 classic and new cars lined both sides of the street in front of the Elks. While the show had previously been held in the Dairy Queen parking lot, the Elks proved itself to be an attractive location. Dick Cotton said the venue change was an improvement as it got the show away from the highway traffic, and the new Mexican restaurant offered families a close place to...
There was a packed house at the June 17 meeting of the county commissioners. Members of the Valley County Fair Board and individuals from the public spoke for and against a recommendation to the commission that Glasgow resident Gene Hartsock be removed from the board for a list of reasons relating to alleged use of foul language, threatening behavior, and other largely unsubstantiated accusations. All attendees who spoke on the subject allowed that Hartsock has done excellent work for the county and other peripherally related civic...
Former county commissioner Dave Pippin has resigned his position as executive director for Two Rivers Economic Growth after approximately one month in the position. The outgoing director cites adjusted priorities and a desire to be useful to the citizens of Valley County in other ways, particularly in rural areas and elsewhere throughout Valley County and outlying areas. “I like what Two Rivers is doing,” Pippin told the Courier, “but I just want to be more involved in the well-being of our rural areas.” Pippin describes much of the work he...
The Eastern Montana Drug Prosecution Coordinator program has been hard at work utilizing their remaining funding before the cut-off date of June 30. The grant, funded by the Department of Justice and passed through the Montana Board of Crime Control, was awarded to the City of Glasgow and administered by the Glasgow Police Department.

I wanted to share some information on the Gregg Gianforte “Bring Our Families Back” tour that was held at the Cottonwood on June 11, 2015. Gregg and his wife Susan visited with us and we found them to be very informative. They have many ideas on how rural Montana cities and towns could see many Montana folks moving back to their roots and still holding high paying jobs by telecommuting. Gianforte and his wife Susan have called Bozeman home since 1995. They are parents to three boys and a girl and fully understand the concern parents have when t...
There is something about songbirds this time of year that can catch the ear, eye and heart of even the most preoccupied person. It doesn’t matter where: mountain tops, middle of the prairie, downtown, uptown. It doesn’t matter what you call them: tweety birds, little brown jobs, neotropical migrants. Songbirds are nesting, raising young and – at least the males – singing their blessed little hearts out. Sure a dedicated birder with keen hearing can tell the difference between the songs of a savannah sparrow and vesper sparrow. Or with a quick...

This column originally ran Jan. 1, 2014. We are reprinting it due to its author's recent Second-Place honor for Best Column Writing at the 2015 Montana Newspaper Association's Better Newspaper Contest. I thought I’d better get this off my chest while I still have a chest to get it off of. (Off of which to get it? … From which to get it off? … Forget it, I am what I am.) See, here’s what happened over Christmas. I was sitting in my recliner, reclining watching football when I had an attack of “heartburn” or acid reflux as those in the know at th...
Do you remember highways from previous days? Of course a lot of them, or maybe I should say all of them, no doubt started out as gravel roads and as traffic and funds allowed, roads were paved, but what I notice as I drive our present highways is the changes made over the years. Of course the width of even our two lanes is much greater than past generations drove, but what interests me are the changes made in the layout of the roads of the past. If you observe, you will notice the grades and bridge abutments of previous roads. I am sure that...
