Glasgow Elks Club held a retirement party for "Smiley" Johnson on Jan. 21. Johnson had managed the club for the past 11 years, during which time he turned the local chapter around by organizing fundraisers, setting nationwide enrollment records, made several improvements to the building and made sure the Elks Club was utilized more for local events. He credits his success to fellow members and his family, who were willing to help with many of the projects and events. When Johnson took over manag... Full story
Recent gubernatorial candidate Greg Gianforte has confirmed that he will seek the Republican nomination for the upcoming special election to fill Montana’s sole U.S. House seat. This position is expected to be vacant due to Congressman Ryan Zinke’s nomination as Secretary of Interior. Gianforte wrote in an email to the state’s Republican Party central committee, “I decided to undertake this challenge because you deserve to have your voice heard and a champion who will always be on Montana’s side.” Gianforte paid the $1,740 filing fee on Jan....

After being let down at last year’s graduation by the gymnasium’s P.A. system, the community came together to raise the needed funds for an upgrade. The fault in the old system was that it was dreadfully underpowered, and the sound emitted from the speakers was so distorted that the voices coming through it sounded like the teacher in Charlie Brown cartoons. People from the community banded together to help raise money, showing up for fundraisers such as the “Cook Off” hosted by Vicks Bar. This event featured food donated and prepared by loca...

Yesterday, our granddaughter assisted with the music for church by playing her clarinet. I always smile when I hear her play. It seems to add something special to the music. And it brings thoughts of the music of the people hundreds of years ago. When she plays her clarinet, I can hear the flute played by shepherds. By the time this column is published the Honor Band will have taken place at the Glasgow High School. This special band is comprised of high school students from throughout northeast Montana. Every one of these students are...
This morning, while gathering up things, I put away a Florsheim shoe horn. According to the advertising on this Florsheim shoe horn, Florsheim shoes were made for the “Man Who Cares.” I am going to guess that this item came from Friedl’s Men’s Wear. Yes, this was a men’s store only, and you could even have your suit of clothes tailored there! Does anyone wear tailored clothes anymore? Probably not in our area anyway. I can recall some wives tailoring men’s western shirts. I think it had something to do with hindrance when roping, but maybe it w...
My three preschoolers and I were waiting for the school bus. Parka-clad Steven maneuvered his way through the bus door, a paper bag held protectively in his arms. “Whatcha got, Steve?” “Is it something to eat?” Kids always thinking of food! We soon knew what it was because food doesn’t meow! With that revelation, my good humor evaporated! “Steven Robert,” I began in a firm, motherly voice. A child’s full baptismal name was reserved for serious occasions. “Mom,” Steve explained, “Mr. Thistle’s cat had six kittens. And he was giving them away!...
President Trump recently signed an executive order barring citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States for the next 90 days, suspending the admission of all refugees for 120 days. America has received more refugees than any other country in the world. Most Americans are proud of our heritage and can list all the places our distant relatives migrated from. Some of us are lucky, our great-grandparents came mostly of free will, for land and dreams. Many Americans came fleeing religious persecution. The current ban...
So other than my usual “I digress” quote, I try to stay away from as many cliches as possible, but today I digress. America is not a land, not a border, and it is certainly not a government. America is a people. A people of multiple ethnic, religious, social, moral and racial backgrounds. We come from the Middle East, Africa, South America, Mexico, Asia, Australia and Europe. We formed a country specifically for the opressed, the scared, the... well lets see if I can find the right words... “huddled masses yearning to be free”. We have in our...

The Lady Scotties split two games last week, with an overtime win against the class A Dawson County Red Devils Jan. 26, and a conference loss to the Poplar Lady Indians on Jan. 28. For the second time this season, Glasgow defeated Glendive, this time on the road in front of the always animated DCHS student section. Despite the antics of the crowd and some questionable calls from the game referees, the Lady Scotties kept their composure and played a pretty consistent game. Leading the way... Full story

The Scottie boys lost one and won one on the road last week as they first traveled to Glendive Jan. 26, then to Poplar on Jan. 28. Following a candid editorial from DCHS boys basketball coach Wade Murphy that was published in the Glendive Ranger Review Jan. 21, it would seem the Red Devils might've had something to prove. Prove it, they did, eking out the win over the Scotties, 29-28. Neither team displayed outstanding offensive performances in the low-scoring contest. Instead, the quarter-by-qu... Full story
