A business that just celebrated 50 years of business is about to take things to the next level. Co-owners Jeff and Sam Knodel of Eugene's Pizza have entered the bottling business. The family barbecue sauce recipe that has been used since October 1962 is now in its own bottle, with its own label, and it will be sold to Glasgow customers and travelers who stop in. The brothers started putting their sauce in a bottle on Wednesday, Feb. 19. For now, the bottles will just be sold in their store, but...

Glasgow seniors had the chance to meet last week with U.S. Sen. Jon Tester and Sen. John Walsh. The two passed through Glasgow while visiting with agencies and citizens during their "listening" tour. They enjoyed lunch with the seniors on Thursday, Feb. 20, and answered their questions on healthcare and other issues on the community, state and national levels. Afterwards they sat down with The Glasgow Courier to talk a little about what they were doing on their travels. Walsh explained that...
A replacement has been found for a 46 -year-old truck at the Long Run Fire Department in Ophein. The old 1968 Ford in Opheim will remain with the department, but a newer and better truck will see much more use. Norm Sillerud, owner of Hi-Line Ford, gave a 2008 Ford truck and a flatbed to the department. He explained that the specialty truck's unique features made it a great fit for the fire department. "They always need equipment, and I decided to donate," Sillerud said. "If there's a fire out...
SACO – Ten cars and one locomotive hopped off the tracks near Saco last weekend. A BNSF train was headed west and carrying automobiles from Illinois to Portland when it went off the main track. Luckily the cars remained upright when they went off the track at 8:45 a.m. Sunday. There were also no injuries reported in the incident. The cause of the derailment is under investigation. The main track remained close throughout most of the day. BNSF said that scene wasn’t cleared until 10:10 p.m. Several engines sat in waiting while large cranes wer...
Do you remember the Johnnie Café? Yes, of course, most everyone remembers and misses that eating spot – a gathering and meeting spot for so many. A place you where could always run into family and friends, our rural neighbors, not just from Glasgow but from the surrounding areas. How many of you remember when you could select and play music on the juke box right from the convenience of your booth? Each booth along the wall had a device mounted just above the booth table, allowing you to se...
As I was thinking about my column for this week, I decided that there have been some things happen lately that need to be written about. So here goes. The past few weeks, I’ve attended and taken part in several fundraisers to help local residents. Each time I was amazed and overwhelmed by the generosity that was shown. Once again, I’ve witnessed how Montanans come together when there is a great need. I was reminded of the time when I was in England and asked what size of town I live in. My reply was that I don’t feel I live in a town -- I fee...
Dear Editor: I am a first-generation native Montanan and new resident of Valley County, having arrived here last August by way of Rosebud and Cascade counties after 16 years as an economic refugee in Seattle by way of Salt Lake City. Please indulge me as I attempt to address an issue of local, state and debatably national interest as briefly and clearly as possible. According to the Montana State Constitution, Article XI, Section 9, the legislature requires an election in each local government every 10 years to review its structure and submit...
At RightNow Technologies, I helped grow a small software startup into Bozeman’s largest commercial employer, creating hundreds of high-paying Montana jobs along the way. And after spending 28 years in business, I’ve come to know that there are a few principles that are essential for any small Montana business. Hard work and accountability are critical to success. To make a profit and balance a budget, you can’t spend more than you take in. And if you don’t do your job, you don’t get paid. These common sense principles are sorely missing in Wash...

Daryl L. Stahl, 87, of Hamilton, Mont., passed away Friday, Feb 21, 2014, at Marcus Daly Hospice in Hamilton. He was born March 4, 1926, in Glentana, Mont., the son of Harry D. and Jenny Ruth (Lasater) Stahl. He was raised in the northeastern corner of the state in rural areas. His family farmed and he often talked about driving a tractor, preparing the ground for planting. He was drafted into the army his senior year and was able to get his diploma later. His family moved to Hamilton while he was gone, so upon returning from Japan he came to...
This past weekend was a huge success for the U-14 girls hockey team. Glasgow's road to the title started with an opening round game against Missoula. Missoula came out swinging with a first period goal at only three minutes in. Glasgow returned the favor and then some scoring three goals in the period. Kennedy Schmidt started the scoring off as she was assisted by Jesi Kennedy. Emily Kolstad had a nice unassisted goal of her own before Jesi got in on the scoring action with an assist from...
It was deja vu for the Lady Raiders of Hinsdale as they thwarted Saco/Whitewater's attempt at a perfect 19-0 season by winning the district 3C girls basketball championship last Saturday evening at the Wolf Point gym just as they had done last year at Malta. Who would have thought that three seniors, one junior, one sophomore, one freshman and three eighth graders could put up the numbers the Hinsdale Lady Raiders had put up this season losing just two games and both to Saco/Whitewater. And...
The Glasgow Highlander wrestlers were in action this weekend at the Poplar Invitational. Over 250 local wrestlers crammed into the Poplar High School gymnasium for an action packed day of competition. Thirty eight future Scottie wrestlers made the trip and it was a successful weekend for each of the young competitors. This tournament kicked off the folkstyle season, after competing in freestyle and Greco the past month and half. Fourteen individuals were able to claim championships and took home trophies for their accomplishment. “We’ve had...
The Nashua Porcupines, sporting a 7-5 conference record squared off against the 10-2 Hinsdale Raiders in the 4:30 p.m. game on Friday and it turned out to be one of the better contests of the tourney. There were five lead changes and three ties in the game. Nashua’s Trafton Mayhew scored first for the Porcupines with a sweet mid-range jump shot. Then Lukas Johnson scored a basket in the paint for the Raiders. Mayhew rippled the rope again and Hinsdale’s Kyle Albus lit it up from beyond the arc. Nashua’s Kyle Gorman thought “if that Kyle ca...
Districts are over and both Glasgow teams are still standing. On the boys side, many didn't get the end result that they wanted, a District championship, but all is well, especially since Divisonals start at Glasgow High School on Thursday. "We can't ask for anything more," said Glasgow boys head coach Norm Braaten. "We have our own beds, our own food, a good draw." Don't forget the Scottie faithful. Earlier in the week, word started making its way around time encouraging Scottie fans to show...
