Glasgow Middle Schools cross country squad closed out the season with fast times and high places at the Harlem Invitational meet last Friday. Both teams finished second to strong Havre squads, but Scottie runners brought home plenty of hardware and posted seven individual season records on the fast, flat course at Harlem’s golf course. The Scottie boys tallied 80 team points, placing them behind Havre’s 30 points. The Glasgow middle schoolers were led by Garrett Thompson, who placed third with a new season record of 10:11 for the 1.55-mile cou...
Every two years, tens of thousands of Montana hunters gather in community centers, school cafeterias, and church basements to comment on proposed deer and elk hunting regulations. It's Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks' biennial "season-setting" process, and I'm eternally surprised at the passion and knowledge that hunters bring to these meetings. They push back against department proposals to raise cow-elk permit quotas by as few as 25 tags. They alternatively admonish biologists to cut back or...
Glasgow's Middle School cross country team opened what they hope to be an eight-race season with a good showing against other Hi-Line and North Dakota schools Aug. 30 in Wolf Point. Team-wise, the Scottie girls took second to a strong Poplar squad. The Glasgow boys finished in fifth place as a team. Individually, Glasgow's girls put all five scorers in the top 20. They were paced by seventh grader Abigail Kulczyk, who took fifth place overall with a time of 11:21. Eighth graders Emily See and...

Local input is a hallmark of democracy. Good laws should and do bubble up from neighborhoods, country churches, and bar stools, just as bad ideas are often killed by the folks who have to live with the results. That’s why, if you’re running for public office, it’s a smart idea to say that you’re in support of local decisions. Imagine the alternative: “I’m from the distant government and I’m here to tell you how to live your life.” You probably wouldn’t win many votes. But that alternative is precisely what our lone U.S. Congressman, Greg...
Glasgow Middle School boys cross country runners swept the top four places at their home meet Sept. 8 to take first place in team rankings. The Scottie girls finished second to a strong Poplar team. The 1.5-mile race, which was held at Sullivan Park, featured teams from around the region. On the boys' side, 35 runners from Poplar, Plentywood, Frazer and Frontier competed. Colter Barnett took his second championship of the season, running the course in 9:25 to lead by nearly a minute. Blake Lloyd, Lane Thompson, and Ted Tryan finished second,...

Glasgow Middle School boys extended a two-year winning streak by taking the team title Aug. 27 at the Poplar Invitational cross country meet. The Scotties won with 45 team points, out-distancing Plentywood, Poplar, Culbertson and a number of other teams that didn't field complete rosters. The Scottie girls took third place in the meet, behind the second-place finish by seventh-grader Iris McKean. Other top finishers for the Scotties included: Daley Aune, 15th; Stevie Hartwell, 17th; Ali Kuka,...
With springtime weather and availability of venues both frustrating schedules, pulling off a full middle school track meet is equal parts good timing and better luck. A number of area schools had both factors working in their favor last Saturday, at the Nashua Porcupine Invitational track meet held at Glasgow High School’s track. Glasgow’s thinclads turned out only 7th graders for the meet. The reason is that only 6th and 8th graders will compete at next week’s Culbertson Invitational, so allowing 7th graders to compete at Nashua’s meet gi...

How well do we really know our neighbors? Or anyone outside the bounds of our own families, for that matter? I’ve been mulling the question on the occasion of the death of Bill Aitken, an institution in my particular neighborhood. He was such an icon around here that county roads, river points, and whole landscapes are named after his family. I knew Bill a little, mainly because I bought some of his family’s land. This is the nature of rural neighbors everywhere: we all know one another. A little. But that’s also the point of my inquiry: the v...
