The Scotties entered the district tournament with a perfect 8-0 conference record and left the Wolves' gym having taken it to eleven. Glasgow defeate...

Out of 1,142 votes cast, Karst received 820 votes, or 72%...
The Glasgow Scotties' football season came to a disappointing end in front of a home crowd at the hands of the Bigfork Vikings in the first round of playoffs. The visiting Bigfork team was, well, big. And they used their height and weight advantage on the lines to run up a 49-0 win over Glasgow. Bigfork took early command of the game, scoring their first touchdown less than a minute and a half into play. George Bucklin converted on a five-yard run capping the Vikings' opening seven-run drive....
A letter from the acting U.S. Attorney for Montana recently arrived on the desk of Valley County Sheriff Tom Boyer. It offers federal resources - including FBI agents - to investigate parents accused of threatening area school board members over issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic. "The FBI has no business handling local jurisdictional matters, quite frankly," Boyer told The Courier. "Even the fact that letter was sent out, it was misguided. They have no business directing us, or including...
The North Country Mavericks exited the District 1-C tournament as they entered it – as the third place team. They defeated #6 Richey/Lambert, upset #2 Froid/Lake, fell to defending state champion Plentywood and lost a rematch against Froid/Lake in Scobey this past weekend. "The weekend was a great one for the Mavericks. We saw some great volleyball action in Scobey. Every team came to play and stepped up their game," said Mavericks head coach Charlene Wasson. "Volleyball is truly a roller c...
During Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) on Monday, the kitchen at Tequila Breeze was full of life. It was the opening day for the New Mexican and Wood-Fire Grill restaurant, located inside the Glasgow Elks building, and things couldn't have been hotter. The new eatery was so popular, it ran out of food after serving customers at 53 tables. "We ran out of everything," Tequila Breeze Owner-Chef Steven Beardshear told The Courier Monday night. Executive Chef Kevin "K-Dizzle" Bennett said he was...

Frazer, Lustre Christian and Nashua each faced a play-in game, all played on Oct. 26, for the District 1-C volleyball tournament in Scobey.

After two years away from the Glasgow Police Department, Renee Jones just couldn't stay away from the close law enforcement family she has bonded with over the past decade. "I really missed working with the police department," Jones told The Courier recently. "I had spent eight years here, and it was time for me to step away and have a job where I wasn't necessarily on call." Jones formerly was a victim specialist at GPD, a position she filled from 2011 through 2019. "I spend eight years...
It seems every generation has its crises. For those Americans alive when Benjamin Franklin was living it up with the ladies in France, they faced open rebellion against their King and years of suffering as the revolution raged. Then, they were faced with the Herculean task of forming a sustainable democratic-republican government. (They failed the first time around). Their kids and grandkids would pioneer east towards the Mississippi River and fight off the English one more time in 1812. Their... Full story
When I looked at this week's Courier I thought, 'Oh, good, the autumn bazaar was a success.' However, there was nary a mask in sight! It's as though there is no covid pandemic and somehow we are immune to any threat in spite of the fact that Montana has been listed as a state with a low vaccination rate. The "anti-vaxxers" seem to reign and the words of trained scientists are ignored. No one should ever have to explain or apologize for wearing a mask! Then I turned to page A2. Uff da! I am tired...

"Congress is gradually moving toward having only one bill per year," former congressman Justin Amash (L-MI) tweeted recently. And that bill will have "everything stuffed into it, negotiated by just a few congressional leaders, completely behind closed doors, with no floor amendments permitted." Amash presumably has the current "infrastructure" bill in mind. Weighing in at more than 2,700 pages and chock-full of stuff only tenuously (if at all) related to infrastructure, it's more of a leadership-negotiated door stop than an honestly debated...

It’s no surprise that current and former members of the military make great entrepreneurs. The resilience, determination, and fortitude they acquired while in uniform was a great training ground for becoming a successful small business owner. Working in collaboration with our government and community partners, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) plays an important role in supporting service members as they exit the military and become entrepreneurs. During National Veterans Small Business Week, Nov. 1-5, the country celebrates those v... Full story
The Biden administration wants to improve America's international reputation. That's why it endorsed a proposal before the World Trade Organization to waive all intellectual property rights related to Covid-19. The president intends for this offer to be seen as a generous gesture that his "America First" predecessor would never have made. Yet this endorsement is toothless virtue-signaling at best -- and dangerous economic capitulation at worst. It caught our European allies by surprise. The EU nations, especially Germany, do not support the... Full story
"Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples. And looking at Jesus as he walked, [John] said, "Behold, the Lamb of God." John 1:35-36 Have you noticed how often we come across sheep and shepherds in the Bible? It is very often. Shepherding sheep must have been a common vocation and something people related to in their lives back then. Shepherds are in the Christmas narrative in Luke Two as they first hear the Gospel message from the angels of Christ's birth. Plus, they are the... Full story

Greetings from the "Original" Adventures in St. Marie. We were rather flummoxed when we listened to our phone answering device and found out that we were writing articles for the "Buzz!" After carefully checking the assertion we found out "close, but no cigar." Our header was copied for the most part. So to make it perfectly clear we are not affiliated in any way, with "The Buzz," or the author of the article. We are sorry that you got confused. "Nuff said" on that! On the Mend We can now...
I'm on hiatus from gardening. During the past week absolutely no outside work was done (at least by me). There's still a lot I need to do, however. Sometimes the list gets so long that's it's daunting. This afternoon (written last Friday, the deadline for my column) the plan is to remove and store the window screens and wash the outside windows while it's fairly nice. I'll maybe remember to let you know if my plan was successful. It's so easy to get distracted and sidetracked, especially when...
Future technologies are cool, but they're daunting. Physics is cool, but it's vast. So what happens when we combine the two into a revolutionary new way for computers to process vast amounts of data at speeds far beyond the possibility of our current architecture? Enter: Quantum Computing. Don't worry, this is a much easier to grasp concept than the name suggests. First let's skim over how a regular computer works to crunch numbers and solve problems. The computer on your desk works exclusively...
