During this time we invite you to support the FMDH Foundation while remembering loved ones, friends, and special events with a tax deductible donation. Many people send holiday wishes and congratulations as well as memorials for those dear to them that have been lost.

Yesterday’s Memories COMPILED BY GWENDOLYNE HONRUD 10 Years Ago Wednesday, Dec. 1, 2010 Nick Kolstad loves the outdoors, and fills his drawings and paintings with wildlife images. The 18-year-old’s work was featured at ArtSpot last June. But because he had Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a progressive degeneration of the muscles, he uses a wheelchair and he can’t hunt in the woods any more. Last week, a lot of volunteers came together and granted Nick the wish he applied for two years ago through the United Special Sportsman Alliance. On Friday he...
Many people browse the Black Friday sales and decide the holidays are a good time to upgrade their televisions, computers, laptops, cell phones, etc. These new purchases replace older versions, which are then either thrown away or placed out of sight, out of mind in the house. Glasgow resident and owner/operator of Glasgow Montana Recycling Adam Hooper has teamed up with the Valley County Landfill to help recycle those outdated and unwanted electronics not only for the holiday season but beyond. At the Valley County Landfill there is a new,...
Dear Editor, The Congressional Desert Land Act of 1877 severed the non-navigable surface water and the ground water from the western federal lands and gave them to the states. This resulted in a split estate of the western public lands. The Act of 1890 declared all lands west of the 100th meridian were under the “Prior Appropriation Doctrine” as it applied to water rights. It contained three main components: A. First in time, first in right, B. The user of the water and not the owner of the land gets the water right, and C. The water must be...
Marlys C. (McElvain) Mercer, 96, passed Thursday, Oct. 29, 2020. Services will be held next summer in Hinsdale, Mont. She was born June 21, 1924, in Hinsdale to Robert J. and Alice (Jones) McElvain. She was the oldest of four children. Upon graduating from Hinsdale High School in 1942 she went to Seattle, Wash., to work in the shipyards and for Boeing in the war effort. She was proud to be a Rosie the Riveter. While in Seattle, Marlys met George R. "Sam" Mercer. They were married in North...
I am sure not many grow sugar beets in this area anymore. However, “back in the day,” there used to be sugar beet dumps at many of the rail depots, as well as dumps at most every side stop, all along the Milk River Valley. I think that growing sugar beets may have been very labor intensive. I do know that Mexican labor was utilized for thinning and topping beets, but must admit that I cannot visualize that at all. I also think that the Prisoners of War that were housed in facilities at the old Glasgow Airport were used for Ag labor. Where was...
The Hinsdale Legion Monument has been standing in Legion Park for 75 years and it's starting to show its age. In order to preserve the monument and ensure the sacrifices of local veterans are remembered for future generations in the community and beyond, the Hinsdale Fall Festival committee has transformed into the Save the Monument committee to raise funds to not only make repairs but also preserve the monument for the future. "When one walks up to the monument, it is apparent that chunks of...
Dear Community and Donors to the FMDH Foundation, Greetings from the FMDH Foundation Corner. It’s hard to believe it’s already the time of year to have our annual meeting and fill you all in on what the Foundation has accomplished in the last year. We, like you, are learning to be adaptable. Though we won’t be meeting in person this year, we wanted to share the positive things we were still able to help our community with. The Foundation gifted $25,000 in scholarships to the following students pursuing a medical field: Kiauna Barstad Teaga...
No, I did not retire completely—just semi. Actually I was not aware of a change to the Courier e-mail. When my items did not get published I just assumed they had enough news with the Covid, politics, sports, etc. that they did not need any fillers. Reading about Brian Austin’s new business venture has brought back memories of Brian’s heritage. Do you remember the old Austin Packing Plant located on the Tampico Highway close to the Milk River Bridge? I would guess that the majority of butchering and preparing for the freezer was done at this...
“Anyone who knows her, knows she could talk to anybody.” That gift of gab allowed Allison Nichols, who passed away in April due to complications from cancer, to be an integral part of the community. She served on the board for the Northeastern Arts Network, the Fort Peck Summer Theatre and PEO, kept the feet of Milk River Activity clients in amazing condition, would participate in Cuisine for the Cure and Festival of Trees, while also supporting any and all fundraising events she could. “Every time my grandkids would come and visit, they would...
One paints with oils, the other paints with words. The two artists of different mediums came together to share their work with the Glasgow community this past Saturday, Aug. 29, at the Wheatgrass Arts Gallery. The works of Cathryn McIntyre hung from the walls inside the gallery, viewable by invitation only, while the words of Toby Thompson danced through the air in the courtyard beside the Loaded Toad. The two colloborated in celebration of Thompson's book, Fired On: Targeting Western American...
The Montana Highway Patrol reported that Daniel Rogenes was killed when he rolled his vehicle while traveling on Highway 24 South just outside Glasgow in the early morning hours on Aug. 30. The vehicle was discovered at 7:30 a.m. According to the investigating trooper David Moon, Rogenes was traveling south near mile marker 72 between Glasgow and Fort Peck in a 1999 Ford Ranger. Around the Milk River bridge he veered off the right side of the road. He then overcorrected and reentered the roadway crossing the center line before correcting again...
Robert "Bob" Duane Walker, 84, Ave Maria Village, Jamestown, N.D., took his last breath on earth the morning of Thursday, Jan. 2, 2020. In his own written testimony: "my life truly began at the age of 35, and years later, I find that every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before." A celebration service will be held at 1 p.m., on Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2020, at the Kentucky Veteran's Cemetery, 2501 North Dixie Highway, Radcliff, Ky. His life-purpose was sharing God's Good News and loving...
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Fisheries Biologist Tyler Haddix knows just how complicated Pallid Sturgeon recovery in the Upper-Missouri River Basin can be, he's been working on it for 15 years. In fact, according to Haddix, it's a problem nearly 70 years in the making and over the last 25 years, biologists have been trying to solve it amid environmental and economic concerns from all involved. Basically, the problem is that Pallid Sturgeon have been unable to reproduce naturally in the...
Roughly 40 participants came out to support Warriors on the Water, run five kilometers and be painted a myriad of bright dusty colors on Aug. 8. The event, held annually by the Glasgow Scottie Student Council, raises money for the veteran-oriented charity organization which hosts a summer fishing weekend at the Fort Peck Reservoir for military veterans from across the United States and who served in various armed conflicts. Runners lined up at 9 a.m. to take the route encompassing much of...
Dear Editor, Putting water to beneficial use in a semi-arid state like Montana is dependent on two truths. Water must be physically available, and the corresponding truth is that there must be a legal right to use that available water supply. As the recent failure of Drop 5 on the St. Mary/Milk River Diversion system and the impending lack of adequate supplies in the Milk River later this summer make clear, the infrastructure to make the physical delivery of that water must be rebuilt and repair...
The sixth annual Paint Run/Walk will be held Saturday, Aug. 8 starting at 9 a.m. The Run/Walk is a 2.5 mile untimed event highlighted by participants being sprayed with powdered paint at various points along the course. This event, which is a fundraiser for the Warriors on the Water Project, is jointly sponsored by Glasgow High School Student Council and the Glasgow Recreation Department. The race begins in front of the Glasgow Civic Center and proceeds north for two blocks before turning left and heading west on 2nd Ave. South. At the edge of...
“We did not take it lightly.” The decision by the Glasgow Area Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture, in conjunction with their partners from the Rodeo Committee and Milk River Motorsports, to cancel this year’s fair concert was a tough one said Executive Director Lisa Koski. Milk River Motorsports and the Rodeo Committee had already canceled their evening events scheduled for this year’s Northeast Montana Fair. With no demolition derby or rodeo planned, the Chamber decided to also cancel the Diamond Rio concert, scheduled to conclude the fai...
The Fourth of July weekend brought fun and festivities for many in the area, from camping and the John Hahn Memorial Softball Tournament at Fort Peck to the revived Milk River Days in Hinsdale.

Clouds hung over the area all day June 6, threatening rain and lightning. But the inclement weather did nothing to deter the competitive nature of fishermen who came in from across the region to net the largest catfish on the Milk. Though the weather looked rough, it never carried through on its threats beyond some brief rain. That rain may have helped a number of sportsmen who racked up the catches and the pounds at the 21st Catfish Classic. At the end of the Midnight weigh-ins, it was the...
