  • Personal Connection Turns Eagle Scout Project Into Benefit for Community

    Michelle Bigelbach, The Courier|Nov 28, 2018

    Senior at Glasgow High School Dillon Godwin couldn't decide what to do for his Eagle Scout project, even as time was quickly running out to choose and execute a project. It wasn't until an idea from his mother, Leta Godwin, to make chemo covers for the community, spearheaded Godwin's motivation to not only help out those in the community with cancer but also execute everything he learned from his time in Scouts. After finding out more information on the benefits of chemo covers from online...

  • Millennials Are Killing, Again

    Gwendolyne Honrud, Community Commentary|Nov 28, 2018

    One important story got lost last month in the incessant election coverage. Millennials, those prolific killers of all things Boomers love, are at it again. This time they are killing American cheese, preferring “fancier” cheeses, such as asiago, fontina and smoked gouda. Thank you, Millennials. American cheese is trash. The time is long past for its demise. The long-running trope regarding all the things Millennials are killing has become farcical. Our culture worships capitalism, content to leave our fate in the invisible hand of the...

  • Fun Cousin Times Are Wonderful Memories

    Gwen Cornwell, Remember When|Nov 28, 2018

    Some weeks ago I mentioned a friend that has shared old memorabilia with me. I sincerely hope this person did not take offense from my “who needs enemies” remark. I love to have readers and friends share thoughts and memories with me, and I will admit that the some sections of our Pioneer Museum have nothing over on me, as I treasure and keep most old items that trigger memories of our ancestors. This friend has shared many memories that trigger my thoughts for these articles, and I do owe that person many thanks. I will readily admit there...

  • Back to Regular Life

    Mary Honrud, The Courier|Nov 28, 2018

    I have returned from sunny Florida to somewhat grey and gloomy northeastern Montana. It wasn’t as bad as I’d expected, although I found it rather chilly the first couple of days. Of course, I was lucky enough to be away for the record-breaking cold days the rest of you endured. I’m perfectly fine with that, having endured many record-breaking cold days and numerous blizzards in years past. Missing a few from this year doesn’t detract from my “Montana tough” credentials. At the time of this writing, I’m sitting in a holding pattern...

  • Managing CWD Will Take Cooperation From All Montanans

    Bill Geer, President of the Montana Wildlife Federation|Nov 28, 2018

    Montana hunters have been afield pursuing deer, elk and other big game, just as we have done for decades. But new this year is the knowledge that chronic wasting disease (CWD) is present in our state’s mule deer and white-tailed deer. Last year’s first-ever detection of this devastating disease was a huge blow to our state, although its arrival was considered inevitable. This fall, more harvested deer have tested positive for this always fatal neurodegenerative disease. For years, Montana has been surrounded by states and provinces with...

  • Teen Stress and Substance Abuse: A Two-Part Series

    Valley Care Coalition, For the Courier|Nov 28, 2018

    You remember the feeling: Standing up in front of the class, palms sweating, trying to remember the words you had so carefully memorized the night before; waiting on the edge of the dance floor; the test you absolutely didn’t study for; the first day of school; the big game; the red and blue lights in the rearview mirror. Stress. Teens today are overwhelmed by stress and influences that have not been seen in past generations. While teens are still impacted by the traditional short-term stress that occurs when preparing for a test, a school da...

    Valley Care Coalition, For the Courier|Nov 28, 2018

    All parents wish they could protect their children from experiencing pain or stress. A teenager today will be faced with new challenges and stessors continually.

  • Generosity Results in Successful Elk Hunt

    Georgie Kulczyk, The Courier|Nov 28, 2018

    Generosity often comes full circle. At times, it can be difficult to track the path of kindness, or even discern its origination, but that's part of the beauty of living in a rural area. A recent series of generous acts left a fairly easy trail to follow. This particular kindness began with Gardner Ranch Outfitters. The family-owned business is located out of Broadus and has been offering guided hunting excursions for nearly 40 years, averaging between 90 and 100 hunts each year. Earlier this...
