Individuals, friends and families came together on Dec. 18 to decorate gingerbread houses and make memories during the Valley County Extension Office's yearly Gingerbread House Workshop. With bowls filled with frosting and a variety of cookies and candy, everyone was able to create a masterpiece to bring home.

Two Valley County students were among 20 students selected throughout the state to serve on the 2018-2019 Governor and First Lady Youth Leadership Council to address childhood hunger. On Nov. 30, Katie Kaiser, senior at Glasgow High School, and Kaitlyn Miller, eighth-grader at Nashua School, met with First Lady Bullock in Helena, as well as the other selected students, to not only learn about food insecurity in the state, but also plan, implement and sustain projects to address the issue. During a competitive application process, Kaiser and...
Due to fundraising efforts so far this school year, the Irle School PTO was able to give back to students and staff this holiday season. On Dec. 10, the PTO purchased fruit pizzas from the Apple Trolley as part of the PTO's Christmas gift to students and staff. The gift was so well received; classes even took the time to write thank you notes and draw pictures for the PTO. "I was so touched at the notes we received," said PTO President Kim Turner. On Dec. 21, students received an extra surprise...
Dear Editor, The success of Montana’s agriculture industry is dependent upon water and water right certainty. It is easily the single most important resource for people across Montana, which is why ratification of the negotiated Montana CSKT Water Compact is critical. Contrary to what compact opponents are saying, the negotiated CSKT Compact provides water right certainty, protects Montana’s water users, and ensures a reliable source of water. When the Flathead Reservation was established, wat...
Remember all the hours spent wrapping Christmas gifts? The rolls of wrapping paper, the “to/from“ tags, the ribbon & bows? And the boxes. You saved boxes all year so you would have the right size for the gift. Many gifts were homemade so you needed boxes for those too. Now we have the luxury of gift bags. These bags sure help reduce clutter, as well as free up storage space. I am working on my old habit of saving all of that stuff. Any of you need to join me?...
The other day a gentleman came into the Courier to check out the archives. He had been coming in on and off for months looking for a certain article. He had a partial clip but no date. So, taking what information he did have he started combing through the countless pages of text in the general timeframe he thought the piece had been published. It took some time but he finally found the article and more, some dating back to the 1940s. Eventually, he would have copies of those pages recreated to keep for future generations as they provided backgr...

Seven kids and 11 adults came to celebrate Christmas at the Tallow Creek School on Dec. 8. Linden Holt's broken arm meant he couldn't play any musical instruments, but Zora Holt played a piano piece from the movie Frozen and then accompanied them both while they sang "White Christmas." Linden sang a song he'd written himself with the refrain, "Snow, snow, please don't go. If you ride the white horses then don't shout, 'Whoa!'" They had to change their Czech carol a week before the program when...
So my gloating about being in “sunny” Florida is rebounding on me, biting me in the backside, as well it should. It’s been very rainy the past couple of days, with areal flood warnings as well as a tornado watch. While we haven’t been impacted by a tornado, it has been very wet. And windy. The Tampa area has had about 4” in the last three days from what I can cobble together from the weather service. While we are a little ways from there, I’m pretty sure there’s been about the same amount here. Our daughter isn’t the weather geek her father...

According to court documents, around Sept. 1, 2009 through 2011, Strommen had repeated sexual intercourse...
