  • VCCF Receives Baker Gift

    Cindy Markle, For the Courier|Dec 13, 2017

    Maybe it was an incident in the beginning weeks of first grade in Glasgow that sparked a lifelong love of learning and curiosity that led Don Baker to professional success. It is with his generous gift of $139,145 to the Valley County Community Foundation following his death in 2016 that memorializes his dedication to this community. As an architect in Minneapolis, his work took him all over the country but his heart remained here as a proud Scottie, class of 1960. He rarely, if ever, missed a class reunion, whether it was his class, or... Full story

  • Railroad Overpass Under Construction in Nashua

    A.J. Etherington, The Courier|Dec 13, 2017

    Former Nashua mayor Pat Hallett remembers the conversations involving the initial planning for an overpass near Nashua being centered on safety and time delays. By her account, the need for an alternative route over the railroad tracks was needed for multiple reasons, but mostly for emergency services. Montana Department of Transportation’s Glendive District Administrator Shane Mitz also remembers safety being the primary concern, citing the trains are on the tracks for an excess of 30 minutes. The reasoning being the need for police, e... Full story

  • Breakfast Eats, Easy Access at New Trolley Location

    James Walling, The Courier|Dec 13, 2017

    Joy Guttenberg’s good (edible) works are known to many in the Glasgow area. That’s about to become truer still. Guttenberg’s Apple Trolley has moved next-door to Albertsons on Highway 2 into the space formerly occupied by The Worx. And no, she isn’t carrying on with scrapbooking or DVDs, but she is adding breakfast items to an already popular menu which includes some of the region’s very best sweets, soups and sandwich offerings. According to Guttenberg, the family-owned business started out making caramel apples as part of a fundraise... Full story

  • What Is Zinke Doing?

    Alec Carmichael, I Digress|Dec 13, 2017

    The decision to reduce Bears Ears and Grand Staircase - Escalante National Monuments came as no surprise to the Utah delegation, Utah Republicans, and those familiar with Washington swamp creatures and horse traders. Nor did it surprise those who look to develop those regions for industry and mining. It was a surprise to some observers to see Ryan Zinke go along with the idea in such a rank and file manner that one could hardly remember the lowly outsider who stood up to the Republican Party’s position on selling off federal lands. Both O...

  • Protecting Public Use

    Steve Daines, Political Opinion|Dec 13, 2017

    In 1977, President Carter signed a law that required the Forest Service to study 973,000 acres in Montana to determine if they were suitable for wilderness. The findings were to be reported in five years and Congress was to take action afterward. The Forest Service completed the study and determined that several of the study areas in Montana were not suitable for wilderness in its final plan. Thirty-five years later - we’re still waiting for D.C. to get its job done and release the study areas. I’ve introduced the Protect Public Use of Pub...

  • Remembering 'Store Bought'

    Gwen Cornwell, Remember When|Dec 13, 2017

    It is the time of the year when everyone is frantically shopping, and I am guessing that a lot of shopping is done online anymore. Do you remember when getting store bought items was a really cool thing? Getting “store bought” things was really exciting, especially when school shopping, but equally so when you received that item for a gift at any time. I am willing to bet that many of our ancestors never considered what a luxury it would be to be able to just turn on the computer, or use their phone, to get their Christmas shopping done. Ins...
