  • Children's Museum a Respite for Parents, Kids

    Michelle Bigelbach, The Courier|Dec 20, 2017

    The Children’s Museum of Northeast Montana in Glasgow is welcoming parents to bring their children in during the brisk and windy days of winter. The museum provides an environment that allows children of all ages to explore, create, discover, learn and be creative. Throughout the museum, there are a variety of exhibits that allow children to have hands-on experiences where they can role-play and let their imagination run wild. The museum is the brain child of Stacey Fast, who over 10 years ago wanted a safe space for young children to run a...

  • Snack-Pack Program Helps Local Kids

    Michelle Bigelbach, The Courier|Dec 20, 2017

    Junior Katie Kaiser has taken over the reins of Glasgow's Snack-Pack program, which supplies healthy snacks and foods to students in need, specifically on days when children are not in school. The program, established by Morgan Guttenberg in 2016, helps the growing problem of childhood hunger in our area. According to Kaiser, one in five students are underfed or go hungry when not in school, so in a class of 175 students, 35 of those are going hungry. For Kaiser, that is 35 students too many,...

  • Private Property Rights

    Ron Stoneberg, Managing Management|Dec 20, 2017

    I was dismayed to recently read that when a California resident who bought a ranch, that had previously been farmed, attempted to return it to grain crops; he was visited by an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) bureaucrat who ordered him to cease and desist. Apparently, this over zealous bureaucrat decided the isolated, intermittent, puddles in the middle of the field fell under the protection of the waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) rules. When the landowner pled guilty (to avoid horrendous legal costs) he was fined the incredible amount of...

  • Managing Holiday Stress

    Roubie Younkin, MSU Extension 4-H Agent|Dec 20, 2017

    The holidays are right around the corner and with them come the holiday stressors. The commitments for time, money and emotional support can overwhelm us and strip the happy from the holidays. We are shopping, baking, wrapping and decorating, adding to our already full schedules. Add holiday parties, family gatherings, homes to prepare for possible guests and children’s school and church programs and we meet ourselves coming and going. All of this challenges us but this is also the season where financial expectations increase until our s...

  • A Wave of Courage

    James Shipman, Valley County Voices|Dec 20, 2017

    A wave of courage is sweeping the nation. Men and women from all walks of life have been coming forward to combat sexual misconduct. Media figures like Roger Ailes, Bill O'Reilly, and Harvey Weinstein have fallen from grace. Even beloved celebrities like Bill Cosby, Louis C.K., and Kevin Spacey have been targeted. And now, our politicians are under fire. Congressmen, candidates, and even the President are among the accused. Sexual misconduct seems far too common and must not be tolerated, from anyone. For too long, people with positions of powe...

  • Divided We Fall

    Jim Elliott, Montana Viewpoint|Dec 20, 2017

    Do the Parties serve the People or Just Use Them? Do the political parties serve the people they claim to represent, or do they use the people as a tool to advance the agendas of the party power brokers? That’s kind of a chicken or the egg question I guess. It seems to me that while the parties do have basic lofty tenets about how to legislate for the greater benefit of mankind, it feels more and more those beliefs are just window dressing and that the party bosses know what they want and do their best to convince the voters that what is g...

  • Quotes and Sayings

    Sandy Laumeyer, Just a Thought|Dec 20, 2017

    This week I decided since 2017 is drawing to a close, I would list some quotes and sayings that have stayed with me over the years. Some of them I’ve come across over time. Years ago I read this: “You are the master of the unspoken word. But once it passes your lips, you become its slave.” Not a bad way to remind us to think before we speak. Not long ago I was watching a program about a teenage girl who had fibbed to her mother concerning where she had been. As the girl was looking at the compass her dad had received from his father, her mothe...

    Georgie Kulczyk, The Courier|Dec 20, 2017

    The Glasgow Squirt Ice Dawgs traveled to Sidney for a three-day tournament Dec. 15-17. Despite some minor obstacles, the Squirts came home with third-place hardware. According to coach Carin Barnett, because of the way the brackets were set up, Glasgow was the only team that had to play an extra game. Additionally, the Ice Dawgs had the smallest roster at the tournament and had to compete against teams with three to four lines. In game number one against Watford City White on Dec. 15, Glasgow...
