The Glasgow Courier 10 Years Ago Wednesday, Dec 18, 2013 A new addition has been welcomed at the Valley County Sheriff's office in Glasgow.

The plunge pool at the bottom of the spillway is the largest single repair project on the Missouri River system. The force of the water that poured out of the lake and down the mile-long concrete chute, 55,000 cubic f...

A group of bibliophiles has decided to revive the Valley County Friends of the Library, which went dormant some years ago. Some of the goals of the...

It's not unusual to find people in Northeast Montana with lifelong careers. After all, we are a farming community. It is a little rare, however, to find someone who is still enthusiastic about their occupation when they decide to retire. Kimberley Girard, sometimes affectionately referred to as "Kimmy G," but more professionally addressed as Mrs. Girard, is one who still has remarkable passion for her occupation. That was one factor in her decision to retire from teaching after 39 years. "I...
