We got to talking the other day about the city of Glasgow, Montana being in the “Middle of Nowhere” but had a question about that… just how did they come up with this? Found out that a group at Oxford’s Big Data Institute that studies the intersection of disease, geography and demographics, spent years building a globe-spanning map outlining just how long it takes to cross any spot on the planet. So the Washington Post stated that they spent hours of computer time processing every pixel and every populated place in the contiguous United States...
Biden Intends to Rescind Keystone XL Permit JAN. 20 - In yet another setback to TC Energy and the building of the Keystone XL pipeline, CBC in Canada was first to report on Jan. 17 confirmation of President-elect Joe Biden's intent to rescind the KXL pipeline permit. Biden campaigned on canceling the Canadian pipeline project, which will run through Valley County, after having opposed it during his time as Vice President under President Barack Obama. Obama punted the controversial political...
About 100 families waited patiently in line the afternoon of Dec. 21 to receive a food bag from the Valley Community Food Bank. Because it was the week of Christmas, the bags included a few extra goodies, including Christmas hams. About 100 hams were donated by the Knights of Columbus (KC) from St. Raphael Catholic Parish in Glasgow. "We give to a lot of different organizations, but we started this a couple of years ago," Grand Knight Jon Bengochea told The Courier. "KC is a fraternal...

The Glasgow 19U Ice Dawgs team took the 19 and under age rule and ran with it again this season, suiting up a number of players who fall well below high school age. But the age difference did not factor into the girls' first two games this season as they defeated Butte Copper Kings at the Valley Event Center. Glasgow won 3-2 Saturday evening and 5-2 Sunday morning. Glasgow took a 3-0 lead after the first period of play Saturday, with all three captains finding the back of the net. Captain Tatum...

The Glasgow Ice Dawgs high school team split their games in Bozeman this past weekend. The boys lost 6-3 Saturday evening, but rebounded Sunday morning in an 8-5 victory. Glasgow's Colter Barnett came out with a hot stick, putting two pucks past the Ice Dogs' netminder in the first two minutes of play. Bozeman answered back with an even-handed goal and then took advantage of two Glasgow penalties, putting pucks behind Glasgow's goalie Kolten Hansen. The Ice Dogs put up an insurance goal 1:34...
Normally, the class speaker for the annual Glasgow High School graduation ceremony must themselves be a former graduate of GHS. In spite of the fact Wade Nelson is a graduate of Hinsdale High School, his positive impact on the Glasgow High School Class of 2022 led them to request a special exemption just for him. "Each one of us took his class and we all have integral memories from the days we spent with him," Blaire Westby said during the last Glasgow School Board meeting. He was very...
The Glasgow Ice Dawgs high school team started their season, a bit early and after only three practices, this past weekend in Missoula. Glasgow dropped their first game outdoors 9-4, then rebounded on Sunday on an indoor rink to win 7-4, splitting their opening weekend with Missoula. “I Feel that this opening weekend gave an excellent glimpse of what this season may hold for our team,” said captain Colter Barnett. “While we didn’t win our first game, we came out ready to play the second game. Our guys were playing much more aggress...

I am pleased to announce that more than a century of Valley County History is now available for public perusal at the Valley County Pioneer Museum. After the original Courier building was damaged beyond repair not too long ago, quick decisions had to be made about what to do with the many volumes of old newspapers which had meticulously documented Valley County since the early 20th Century. The collection also includes other publications in Valley County which no longer exist. It is quite the tr...

Speak your mind and be heard. But, do it politely - lest the feds label you as a "domestic terrorist." To whom am I speaking? Why any parent who attends a school board meeting in these United States and is against mandatory masking or COVID-19 vaccinations. To be clear, I am not referring to the local school boards in Valley County. I have attended several Glasgow School District board meetings, and they have welcomed public discourse about masking and other COVID-19 related concerns. Late in th...

1 Years Ago Wednesday, Sept. 29, 2011 • The Glasgow Scottie Band showed off in the Homecoming Parade this year, boasting a completely new set of uniforms. Over decades of use, the band’s distinctive kilts had grown shabby and in short supply. • Dave Strohmaier and his family arrived in Glasgow on Amtrak last Thursday to make two points; to make sure passenger rail service remains strong in Montana and to “get Congress back on track.” • They didn’t post a perfect score, but the Glasgow girls’ cross country team did run its best meet of the sea...

The 14 volunteers also gave a deep clean to the Glasgow Senior Center. The volunteers are part of the Glendive Stake, which is similar to a diocese or district, which includes eleven congregations and covers eastern Montana from the Canadian border to the Wyoming border and...
The Glasgow Scottie football team took their fans for a wild ride Friday against the Baker Spartans. The Scotties left the field with another notch in their win column in a game that felt a lot tighter than the final 24-14 score may have indicated. Head coach Patrick Barnett said, "Either team could have won." He enthused that the game was a fun one to coach and praised both teams for playing hard all the way through. Each team needed to play hard as the third game of the season for the Scotties...

At this time, public schools are required to comply with the Centers for Disease Controls' (CDC) requirement relating to masks on school busses. To put this in perspective, there is a CDC order issued in accordance with President Biden's Executive Order 13988, promoting COVID-19 safety in domestic and international travel, that requires masks on public pro private school buses. This has been the case since Feb. 1, 2021. This requirement of masks on public or private buses is based on federal...
What makes Sara of Long Run, run? Just when the Long Run Firefighters thought that they might have a break from fighting wildfires such as the massive 447-acre-wildfire about three miles from Saint Marie, MT in the early morning hours on 17 of July, another one, albeit only about 5-acres, this time 4 miles up route 24, Chief Sara Johnson-Bryan led her fire crew into the fields again. It was Saturday the 31st this time, and perhaps she was looking forward to enjoying her weekend off with her...
