The latest incarnation of the Milk River Motorsports Demolition Derby saw increases in both attendance and participation on May 28 at the Valley County fairgrounds. Organizers Josh Thompson, Garth Loftsgaard and Rob Brunelle made some date changes and other fine tuning that paid off, with 21 cars entering competition (up from 10 in June, 2015) and more than 700 spectators in the stands. Milk River is currently in its fourth year as the nonprofit in charge of the derby. According to secretary...
Despite their best efforts, the Scottie softball team was unable to bring home hardware from the state tournament in Kalispell. Bracketing, contentious calls, and foul weather may have been contributing factors in the disappointing results. Glasgow faced Florence in their first game on Thursday. During warm-ups just prior to the game, a lightning strike initiated a mandatory waiting period before play could begin. Then, following the first few innings, the sky opened up with a heavy spring...
GEORGIE KULCZYK THE COURIER The atmosphere at the State B Track and Field Meet was remarkable. There were all the usual distractions and performances, but they were more pronounced. The starter's gun seemed to crack a little louder - even more so when it popped off twice, signaling a false start. The aroma of menthol was prevalent and athletic tape was in abundance. Tears flowed more freely and celebrations were less inhibited. The state meet also had more defined rules that were strictly...

American Serengeti. The fauna of the real Serengeti must migrate because of seasonal weather conditions. Those conditions do not exist in our more temperate climate. Also, read the fascinating 2002 Guardian article by George Monbiot (available online), in which he describes the creation of the real Serengeti as an “ethnic cleansing programme” of “possibly the longest-inhabited place on earth.” History. The Original Americans have a long history in this area. The Blackfeet were cattlemen. Small pox decimated the Blackfeet. (Actually, this is...

Since the first battles at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, American men and women have laid down their lives for something larger than themselves. When the first Memorial Day was celebrated in 1868, our nation remembered the nearly 750,000 Americans who died in a war that shaped our destiny and defined its character. From WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and the fights for freedom and peace from terrorism around the globe, the American troops have been a beacon of hope and a symbol of freedom and liberty from oppression for those who would...
The following is a copy of a speech given by SSG AJ Etherington to the American Legion Post 45 Memorial Day Celebration in Hinsdale. As is the case with so many who have done this before me I am overwhelmed by the daunting task of memorializing and honoring those who have given everything in service to this nation, to our way of life and to the causes of freedom, liberty and justice around the globe. I am humbled and frightened by the challenge. So to ease in let me start with someone else’s words. President Reagan said, in his 1986 Memorial Da...
