Unusual circumstances tied the day together. On the five-year anniversary of the passing of their father, Arlie Knodel – the Knodel family's Eugene's Pizza was named the best pizza in Montana and Arlie’s favorite basketball team, the Duke Blue Devils, took a championship. Eugene’s Pizza has been in business since 1962, with the Knodel family as owners since 1967, and a story of kids traveling hundreds miles for a slice isn’t completely uncommon. During March Madness, Montana Mint started...
First Of Two Parts A small group from Glasgow made the trip out to Williston last week to get an inside look at what the workforce camps might look like in Valley County if the TransCanada Keystone XL Pipeline ever gets approval. With the county commissioners and the county planning and zoning approving the two workforce camps that would be located between Nashua and Fort Peck and another just outside of Hinsdale some curious city and county employees and the chamber of commerce decided to take...

Another structure fire left two families without a home on Saturday, April 11. The fire spread rapidly and Marisa Collins said that, luckily on her side of the duplex at 70 Heather Lane, everyone, including the family dog, made it out okay. Dispatch received the first call just before 3 p.m. It was a neighbor that called from a few houses down and couldn't place where the fire was exactly. Only that it was on Heather Lane. The Glasgow Fire Department was paged as a few other 911 calls came in...
Airport employees caught the sight of fuel on the blacktop located near the fuel pump at the Wokal Field Glasgow International Airport on Saturday, March 21. That sighting created quick action as the airport tore up the pavement and ground looking for a leak that turned out to be a very small leak. Airport Manager Lucas Locke said that it was a corroded pipe with a pinhole leak that surfaced through a small crack in the pavement. He said that the pipe that was placed in the ground in the 1980s might not have been sealed right. It corroded...

I see where workers in New York City, Boston, Los Angeles, Seattle and other major cities around the country are asking their employers to pay for their time commuting to and from work. Some as much as 10 hours per week. They say it's a financial hardship paying for bus and subway tokens and those who drive want money in addition to the free parking they now enjoy. Yikes. What more can they demand? After all, they get at least 14 paid holidays a year, sick pay, vacation days, maternity leave (men and women) 401k and other retirement plans, and...
I just spent a little time renewing family ties in Missouri. I always enjoy driving in and around some of the towns there that have preserved their brick streets. Brick streets make me reach back into my history lessons and consider the manual labor required to lay those. Then I wonder about the wooden boardwalks that were a part of our local history. Is anyone able to recall any of those walks in our local area? Of course, I am sure it would have been next to impossible to have preserved those boardwalks which may, or may not have been,...
Can a massive dose of old-fashioned government intervention into a freely-operating market really be trusted to ensure the Internet will continue to be an open an innovative place in the future? That’s what President Obama and the Democrat majority on the Federal Communications Commission want us to believe, but can they possibly be right? The president outlined his preference for a high degree of government regulation of the Internet during his latest State of the Union address in January. At the end of February, the FCC (a regulatory a...
Just before Easter the Senate passed my SB416, which is the only major infrastructure bill that might have a chance to pass. Senate Bill 416 passed the Senate on a 47 to 3 vote. SB416 will be heard in the House Appropriations Committee and to pass the House it must get a two-thirds vote as it has a bonding component. This bill is one that no one particularly stomachs, but is a compromise bill that has a chance to pass. Just before Easter, Sarah Swanson Partridge and Mr. and Mrs. Tom Flowers brought two busloads of seventh graders (about 60...
Dear Editor: I would like to respond to parts of the letter by Rev. Susan Watterson on March 25, “An Important Bible Discussion.” First, she claims St. Paul was really referring to the sexual exploitation of boys by older men and not to homosexuality in general. Not so. In Romans I, Paul says, “Their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural, and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in their own persons the due penal...

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks in Glasgow is conducting a pilot project to open Block Management Areas (BMAs) for spring turkey hunting along the Milk River. Up to 9 BMAs could be open for the spring turkey season, beginning April 11, and running through May 17. Most of the properties are located along the Milk River between Hinsdale and Nashua. According to Tim Potter, Jr., Region 6 BMA coordinator, the idea of spring turkey hunting on BMAs has been in the works for awhile. "I have been... Full story
One outing under its belt, the Scottie golf team is a work in progress with the meat of its schedule arriving this week. Coach Dave Riggin told The Courier that he looks to firm up the lineups for the top five golfers on the girls and boys sides. The Huntley Invitational this Thursday would be a fine opportunity for some of them to step up. Riggin told The Courier his group is “still pretty inexperienced” following the Fortsyth Invitational on April 7. Just three boys and two girls competed. Some golfers didn't travel, staying home due to ill...

The boys placed fourth in their 15-team field, behind Sidney, Miles City and Jordan. Fossum...
The Glasgow Scotties open their conference schedule this weekend, but not before two more Class A games this week. With a 3-0 early season record against higher Class A competition, coach Mark Falcon is looking for his softball team to keep up the good work, keep learning. “Being as young as we are, we're getting experience and just have have to keep building,” Falcon told The Courier. “It's nice to see where we stand with Class A teams. Other teams have more experience, but we should be caught up by Divisionals.” Falcon considers the Scottie...
