Back in action!
After dealing with some medical issues which included
a hip replacement, it was good to see Glasgow Police
Chief Brien Gault in uniform last week. “It feels great
to get back to work,” he said. This photo of Brien and
his faithful pooch Lola was actually taken during Scotty
Homecoming. Seems how we couldn’t remember Lola’s
name, we called the cop shop to get a refresher course,
and Tasha Morehouse-Mix answered the phone. After
giving us Lola’s name, Tasha added, “It’s great having
Brien back!”

Get those shots!
According to a press release
from the Unified Health Command in
Billings, there’s been a drop in routine
vaccinations of children under 2 years of
age since the beginning of the COVID-19
pandemic. There’s been an even more
significant decrease in vaccinations of
older children as well, reports the Center
for Disease Control.
With fewer children receiving
recommended vaccinations, healthcare
providers are concerned there could
be an increase in illnesses and other
outbreaks.
Parents are being urged to have
childhood immunizations done on

OBITUARY
Al Murch
Allan Dale Murch passed
in peace Tuesday, May 12, 2020
surrounded by his cherished
companion, daughter, and son at
the age of 72. Known to friends
and family as Al. He was born and
lived his life in Glasgow, Montana.
He was a talented carpenter and concrete finisher
with his business Murch Construction. He took pride in his
work and was most proud of his contribution in building
the Shelby Prison, Fort Peck Hatchery, and assisted with the
Interpretive Center. Al was also a man who enjoyed life and
he had many talents besides carpentry. You could always
find him in his younger years participating in the stock car
races, demolition derbies, snowmobile races and even some
rodeos. There was not anything he couldn’t build or fix! Al
loved to volunteer to load the canon at the local football
games and the annual Governor’s Cup Walleye Tournament.
Shooting the canon with lifelong best friends was always a
joy for him. His infamous saying that will be remembered
by all with a grin on his face: “Bullshit, Bullshit, Bullshit.”
Allan Dale Murch is preceded in death by his father,
Gerald Murch; mother, Helen Fuhrman Rennick; brothers,
Charlie Rennick and Ed Rennick.
His memory will be cherished and kept alive by his
best friend and companion Pearl Hagen; children, Nadine
Burnett (Jake) and Jerry Murch; Ron Hagen (Lori) and
stepchildren Roy Cochran and Cindy Combs; siblings
Richard Fuhrman (Judy), Lee Murch (Penny), Carl Rennick
and Pam Rennick Bicker; his beloved cousin Bill Murch
(Iva); his many grandchildren: Zaine, Megan, Madisyn,
Caden, Kayson, Abbie, and Jack, along with many nieces
and nephews.
Al chose to have no funeral services. His family will
spread his ashes as he desired and a memorial party to be
announced at a later date. Bell Mortuary is assisting the
family with arrangements and condolences may be left at

Letter to the Buzz

What do you like about our Library?
Dear Readers (pun intended) —
I am writing to request your support in the renewal
of the “Additional Levy for the Glasgow City County
Library” in this year’s June 2 mail-in election.
As an avid reader myself, I have been frequenting the
Glasgow Library for over 30 years. I have always been
impressed by the library’s extensive inventory, and they
almost always seem to have the books I’m looking for…
and if they don’t, the library staff tracks the book down
through inter-library loan.
My wife and I, and our two boys, consider the library
as one of the best things about Glasgow. Over the years, we
have enjoyed Story Time, Lego League, the abundance of
movies (necessary for long family road trips), magazines,
books on CDs, the computer access, and of course, books.
The website makes renewing items easy and is a great way
to keep track of their many events.
My 10-year-old son Rowen recently acquired his
own library card and is working his way through most of
the young-adult book section. When I asked him, while
writing this letter, “What are some things you like about Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks’ Marc Kloker, reading
the library besides books?” He said, “All the nice people at “Story time” at the library.

The staff ARE great, and they are doing what they and movies on a weekly basis. We are lucky to have such a
