New Year’s Day is right around the corner and 2021 cannot arrive soon enough. One of the reasons many are looking forward to ringing in the new year is the legalization of recreational marijuana. At 12:01 a.m. on Jan. 1, 2021, Montana adults over 21 will be able to send 2020 up in smoke, legally. Montana voters in November approved Initiative 190, which legalized recreational marijuana, and Constitutional Initiative 118, which amends the state constitution to set the legal age of cannabis consumption at 21. Approximately 60 percent of M...
Montana’s COVID-19 numbers dropped last week with the long holiday weekend, with one day of reporting showing fewer than 400 cases. Health experts across the nation, however, are predicting a surge of new cases in the upcoming weeks as people return to normal routines from travel and holiday get-togethers without quarantining. If persons do not quarantine, it is highly recommended that they stay home if exhibiting any signs of illness. The most recent update for Valley County from the Health Department was posted on Nov. 27. That update s... Full story
The fantasy of the holiday season leans toward the illusion of perfection. Picture gatherings in a home decorated with an artistic flair; the table with food prepared using the techniques of a world-renowned chef; or turbulent family gatherings with never a harsh word uttered. However, reality is that while this season is meant to bring feelings of love and cheer, it also means holiday stress for many. Some look forward to the holiday season with enthusiasm while others dread the last months of the year. There are dreams, hopes, emotions and...

Refreshments were served after everyone joined in singing "Silent Night."...
Garden produce has been harvested and the holidays are fast approaching, bringing a lot of baking to mind. I am a happy owner of the Pioneer Museum Cookbook, “Our Pioneer Heritage.” I really enjoy just flipping through the pages. If you are looking for something special, you will probably find it, or if just browsing, I am sure you will find something you want to try. This is especially true if you were born or raised in this area. What fun to run into a recipe of a friend or neighbor of your Mother’s or Grandma’s. You may remember enjoyin...
Dear Editor, I felt compelled to write after reading the letter authored by Gordon Bell, M.D., published in the Glasgow Courier on November, 25, 2020. As a common citizen of the United States, I do believe the highest level of intellectual rigor is appropriate when confronting a pandemic as reportedly severe as the one we now face. This is especially true when those appointed authorities are intent on continuing to hinder our essential liberties in the name of public health. Is it not...

Editor's Note: This column was submitted on Nov. 22 however was not placed in the Nov. 25 issue due to space. This week's column could be rather short - or not. I do tend to get long-winded at times... Sometimes I'm not so good about planning ahead (okay, often I'm not), and I've let Thanksgiving sneak up on me. Obviously, the timing of this holiday necessitates a shortened deadline. Instead of needing my small contribution to the weekly edition of the Courier by noonish on Monday, they want it...
Red and white. Black and blue. Those are the colors one might normally associate with a Glasgow Ice Dawgs hockey game. In this case, rather than bruises (though there were probably a fair amount of those also) the colors were for the jerseys worn by the four different lines who were on the ice Nov. 24 for a scrimmage. The scrimmage gave head coach Pat Braaten a chance to see his players in action. In a normal year, the high school boys team would begin their season at the Sidney tournament....
