"The meet was cancelled with only about an hour left of competition," she explained, adding that the backstroke and the butterfly races did not take place on Sunday. For those swimmers who were unable to race in their events on Sunday, their preliminary times from Saturday were...
The dollar figures $224,412 and $33,389 don’t have much in common but to the Valley County Community Foundation, they are very significant. The $33,389 granted this year is the largest annual amount given since the first grants in 2000. That figure brought the total amount of grants given to $224,412. “These grants mean a lot to efforts in Valley County,” said Doris Leader who chairs the board of directors. “Many projects are completed, enhanced, or totally funded with VCCF dollars.” VCCF awards grants to projects or programs that are for c...
"If you see something, say something." The saying has nearly become an American mantra. Here in the middle of nowhere the saying ought to be modified to, "If you see something, do something," because the people of Valley County "do." Regular readers of The Courier have seen several pieces on the state of our pool. The city pool is crumbling, literally under swimmers' hands and feet at times. A group of dedicated citizens have come together to form The Valley County Friends of the Pool,...

A.J. ETHERINGTON THE COURIER The Middle of Nowhere Polar Plunge, held Dec. 1 and put on by the Glasgow Police Department and the Valley County Sheriff's Office, saw a huge crowd of over 250 people to watch 66 brave Northeast Montanans dive into a pool of frigid water to support Special Olympics Montana. The crowd came out despite a fresh dusting of powder that totaled in the multiple inches and reports of below-freezing temperatures. In all, the event surpassed their goal of raising $15,000...
Under clear skies, and with a temperature of 84 degrees, golfers took to the greens Saturday morning, Aug. 11, at Sunnyside Golf Course for the Colbrese Cup Chamber Red Ball Golf Scramble. The threat of soaring temperatures, which would hit 108 degrees later in the day, wasn't enough to keep committed golfers from a day of fun with friends, good-natured competition, and of course, free beer. The first Red Ball Scramble was hosted by the Glasgow Area Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture in 2012,...

Thank you to the lifeguards for making sure swimmers, of all...
Despite a few issues that threatened to delay the opening, the city pool is open for the summer. A new coat of paint and some maintenance, thanks in large part to volunteer swim team families, will hopefully be enough to get us at least one more summer of swimming. The Glasgow pool is a part of my history and present. I took swimming lessons every year I could. Getting to open swim in the afternoons was a treat on trips into Glasgow. I worked as a lifeguard for several summers many years ago. Last summer, after quitting smoking, I got myself ba...

Game one matched Glasgow vs. Billings, and the scoring started early in the first period, which secured them a 9-1 win. The scoring reflected the type of team play the Ice Dawgs demonstrated all...
