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 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...

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.

"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...

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.

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...
