With last year's Paint Run/Walk being such a hit, Glasgow High School student council and G-club have decided they will continue it as an annual tradition. The 2nd Annual Paint Run/Walk will be on Aug. 20 at 9 a.m. Early registration will start at 8 a.m. and the run/walk will start at the Glasgow Civic Center. This year's proceeds will go to Warriors on the Water, an organization based in Miles City that takes combat veterans with PTSD out on fishing trips to Hell Creek. John Morford, director...
It's looking like 2016-17 is going to be the 'Year of the Rock' at Nashua School. Beginning this fall, local educator and author Roger Rock will be teaching English to upperclassmen. His plan is to begin what many expect will be a challenging curriculum with an emphasis on study habits before moving on to grammar. "The key word," Rock explains with a glint in his eye, "is habits." Turns out, the number of former students who credit Rock with being an important teacher in their lives is staggerin...
This year's Laser Regatta will kick off on Friday, Aug. 19, at the Fort Peck Marina. The festivities will begin with a dryland presentation on the water practices, followed by dinner. The races begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday and will be held close to the dam, weather permitting. The organizers are aiming to have around 30 races starting Saturday and concluding with the final race at 2:30 p.m. The target course time is about 30 minutes each. John Cormack, a race officer from Alberta, Canada, has...
Sitting down to review Sam's Supper Club for this issue resulted in strong opinions from longtime Glasgow residents and recent transplants alike. The following is the straight scoop from the Courier's trio of critics. Georgie Kulczyk: I remember when Sam's was Sam's. Every Wednesday night was prime rib night. Each table in the dining room had a relish tray for diners to enjoy while waiting for their meal, and they served breadsticks that were made at the Glasgow Bakery. The blue cheese dressing...
The Valley County C.A.R.E. coalition recently held a townhall meeting at the hospital to discuss the results of a survey they conducted this April. The survey was conducted with the purpose of asking questions about healthcare and how to improve access to it, as well as other questions about our general wellbeing. The survey was administered to a sample population, which means citizens were selected at random to participate in order to better represent the community of Valley County as a whole. The results of the oral health section of the...
I would like to welcome students, parents, and staff to the upcoming 2016-17 school year. The middle school staff is committed to providing a safe, educational experience for all students. We strive to provide an environment that is conducive to the middle level learner and take pride in our school. I commend our janitors, Mike Molzhon and Nick Ciafardone, for all their hard work preparing our building and grounds to welcome back students and teachers. They have done another great job this summer. Our staff would like to welcome Elizabeth...
Songwriters have an allure with the law. See, for instance: “I Fought the Law” by the Clash, “Lawyers, Guns, and Money” by Warren Zevon, “End of the Innocence” by Don Henley and Bruce Hornsby, “This Side of the Law” by Johnny Cash, and “Alice’s Restaurant” by Arlo Guthrie. There are many more songs about the law. This crossed my mind when one of my neighbors asked me recently about the “rule of law” and what that meant exactly. Of course, this was in the context of the decision not to prosecute Hillary Clinton for her email security lapses. Wh...
I am trying to remember something of interest to ramble on about, but after all of these years it is getting harder and harder. Maybe I have forgotten more than I remember. However, I was thinking about sauerkraut the other day. I know that a select few out there still make their own sauerkraut, but this is for those that haven’t given any thought to how it is made. I have a vintage cabbage or slaw cutter stored in my basement, just in case I might need it someday, Ha! Anyway, I think these were used by many homemakers around this time of y...
So what does the 2nd Amendment say? “A Well Regulated Militia Being Necessary To The Security Of A Free State, The Right Of The People To Keep And Bear Arms, Shall Not Be Infringed.” (Pretty specific words.) Remember we had just fought a war against the militia and our new government gave the people the right to keep and bear arms. It didn’t give that right to the militia, in case the people needed to defend itself against the militia. The Bill of Rights gave us rights that can’t be taken away. But Congress and the Courts seem to be working...
You will find as you leave the country road and turn onto the winding prairie trail, you are leaving the noisy distractions of modern life behind. The tall toothpick-like sentinels bringing electricity and phone service to the widespread ranches and farms, do not turn into this rustic home on the knoll, a mile to the west. This is entirely by choice, not necessity. Visualize, if you will, an east window framed prettily by flowering plants with the early morning sunlight filtering through the lacy leaves of the Virginia Creeper growing...
I lost a friend recently. A four-legged friend whose ears had been lost due to frost. I met her at the home of Sheila and Perry Vosen. After not having a cat for about six years, I decided I wanted one. Sheila put a cat in my arms. When I went to hand her back to Sheila, she wouldn’t let go of me. So I took her home and named her Holly since I’d gotten her two weeks before Christmas. It took her a few days to become accustomed to me and I to her. Soon she was jumping up on my bed at night and curling up next to my side. Before long she and I h...
With the current political environment I am certain that, like myself, some of us just want to have a choice in our country’s future that doesn’t involve gritting our teeth or plain just staying home. Although I am sure there is plenty I will say about our political system, what I intend is to make the case for liberty, and to shamelessly promote the Libertarian Party. Because America utilizes an archaic republic voting platform and an electoral college, the individual vote is often viewed as worthless. In Montana for example we take to the...
