  • Votes Fly the Coop

    A.J. Etherington, The Courier|Nov 4, 2020

    It became the comically contentious subject of 2020, but a two-year effort to change the law in Glasgow to allow for the raising of chickens has failed after being placed before the voters of Valley County. With a 329-vote margin, the people of Glasgow rejected Glasgow City Ordinance No. 971 for hens to be raised in the city limits. The total votes were 1,049 voting against and only 720 voting in favor. The ordinance was spearheaded by Madelyn House, who moved to Glasgow and had hopes of...

  • County Votes Are In

    A.J. Etherington, The Courier|Nov 4, 2020

    A lot will have changed between press time and the arrival of this newspaper, but Valley County's votes have been tallied and counted and the results are in. In total, 4,327 people cast their ballots across all three of the county's precincts out of 5,136 registered voters. That puts the county's turnout rate at just over 84 percent. As of election night the race for President between incumbent Donald Trump and Joe Biden had not been called in favor of either candidate. In Montana's race for...

  • Monster Dash Spooks Again

    Gwendolyne Honrud, The Courier|Nov 4, 2020

    More than 50 goblins and ghouls of all ages showed up at Sullivan Park on Halloween morning to compete in Glasgow Recreation Department's Annual Monster Dash. Though the costumes may have been encumbering for running, they helped protect the runners from the appropriately bone-chilling wind whipping through the trees. Monster Dash Full Results: 1. Alexius Miller F 15-18 11.55 2. Piper Perez F 15-18 11.56 3. Ali Cunningham F 15-18 12.36 4. Haleigh Huntsman F 9-14 13.04 5. Bryan Larson M Adult...

  • Predicting the Weather to Fight Fires Down Under

    A.J. Etherington, The Courier|Nov 4, 2020

    It wasn't as simple as packing a bag and getting on the plane like years before. In fact, getting to Australia as a National Weather Service Incident Meteorologist-IMET for short-required a good deal of preparation, not least of which was applying for an official passport to work as a US government employee overseas. But after answering the call from the Australian Government, filing the paperwork, getting said passport, packing a bag and saying goodbye, NWS IMET Patrick Gilchrist was on his...

  • Scotties Back-To-Back District 2B Champs

    Michelle Bigelbach, The Courier|Nov 4, 2020

    The Glasgow Scotties traveled to Malta on Oct. 30 with the goal of achieving back-to-back championships, and they met that goal by securing first place at the District 2B tournament. Coming together as a team, reflecting upon their past matches and fixing errors that plagued them in the past, the Lady Scotties took their season's momentum and drove home their goal. Coming into the tournament as the number one seed, their first match-up was against Poplar, whom the Scotties dominated in three, 25...

  • Scotties Defeat Back-to-Back State Champions

    Gwendolyne Honrud, The Courier|Nov 4, 2020

    The Glasgow Scotties football team brought home a huge win in Eureka on Friday against the Lincoln County Lions. That win means the Scotties will be on home turf this Saturday, Nov. 7, to face the Columbus Cougars. And to say the Scotties are pumped for the game would be an understatement. "I am expecting the greatest rematch of the century," Tel Aune said. "I know we want revenge on them for taking us out of the playoffs last year but now that they're on our turf I think it will be a whole...

  • Complaints Yielded Results

    Mary Honrud, For the Courier|Nov 4, 2020

    I do believe all my complaining about winter arriving early and Montana not understanding how a calendar works has actually paid off. The snow has melted away, thanks to the wind, rain, and warmer (above freezing!) temperatures. Don’t ruin my joy at this by telling me snow is still in the forecast. The unraked (I’ll be honest, the unmowed and therefore not sucked up) leaves were actually dried enough to be blowing about the yard last Sunday. The riding mower may come out of storage this week to take care of most of those leaves. I hope to...
