Abbi Kolstad and her proud father, Jon, certainly earned a memory of a lifetime. Together, they followed-up on whispered rumors of moose sightings, a few phone calls, and the generosity of our vast expanse of neighborly inspiration possessed by the local population. Lead upon lead found the determined duo engaging in adventurous expeditions to nearly all corners of their large hunting district in search of a good bull moose. They trekked to Medicine Lake, Colridge, Outlook, Whitetail,...
The first competitive event for the Ice Dawg Squirt's 2015-2016 season was held this last weekend at the Valley Event Center. Teams from Great Falls and Missoula traveled here to participate in the jamboree. The puck dropped for first game on Saturday morning at 10 a.m. against Great Falls. This would result in the only loss of the weekend for the squirts with a score of 4-5. The second game for the Dawgs was later Saturday evening at 6 p.m. Glasgow tied Missoula with a score of 2-2. Sunday...
Three days after Veterans Day, Bill Sugg (right) harvested this bull elk with the help of his sons Levi (left) and Ed (center). Matt Poole, who took this photo, was along on the hunt. According to Ed, this is the second time in 52 years that Bill, 67, has drawn an either-sex rifle tag for HD 631. "What makes it even more special is that he shot it where he used to work and live when he was a young'n for the Etchart Ranch. We always hear all the stories of how it was back then; pretty cool to...

Old friends became new rivals in Opheim Friday night, as Glasgow sixth-grade girls took on Opheim players in grades ranging from fourth to seventh. Blair Westby, formerly of Opheim and now a student at Glasgow Middle School, no doubt had mixed emotions as she played against her former teammates. However, Opheim's #32 Raelee Dowden took a moment to exchange a laugh with Glasgow's McKenna Strommen in midst of heated offense. In the end, Glasgow came out ahead with a win of 26-6. For Opheim, Alexa...
A sizable crowd gathered at the Glasgow Civic Center on Veterans Day to celebrate area residents who have served in the armed forces. The GHS band provided music, along with the EQ Singers. Joe Yeoman assisted as master of ceremonies and Jason Myers led prayers. Mayor Becky Erickson delivered a noteworthy speech that covered the contribution of women in the military. Beginning with a general acknowledgement of the sacrifices of all American veterans dating back more than 230 years, Erickson...

Located 1568 miles southeast from us is the community of Glasgow, Kentucky. That's not earth-shattering information, but there are a few similarities between our community and theirs that suggest we may be related on some level. Perhaps we're cousins. Located in south central Kentucky, Glasgow has a population of about 14,000 – that's according to Wikipedia. It is located in Barren County, and like our Glasgow, is the county seat. The stereotypical coal mines of Kentucky are located in the eastern part of the state, while Barren County consists...
A benefit was held at the Valley County Ridgerunners on Saturday, Nov. 14, for Stan Sonsteng, who is undergoing treatments for esophageal cancer. Stan has been part of the Glasgow Courier printing for over 50 years. The evening included a roast beef dinner, silent auction, and music by Dudley and the Deadbeats. An estimated 200 people attended the event. Shown at the benefit (L-R) are Jennifer Fewer, former Glasgow Courier owner Joan Helland, and Sonsteng....
I'm not sure what Virgil Vaupel intended to communicate in his last article, in which he revisits Equal Opportunity. I came away with an understanding of what he meant to say, but just in case (because I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt) I'd like to revisit his “revisit.” The article seems to be his attempt to criticize the establishment of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which was established due to the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The EEOC investigates discrimination complaints based on an individual's race, color, nat...
I was going to write more on the abortion issue, to cover more questions and concerns raised by Mr. Chris Pippin, but then Paris happened. I started to hear disturbing reactions to the acts committed by those extremists: comments along the lines of "kill them," "bomb them back to rubble" (déjà vu from the 9-11 events), "close our borders to all refugees," even, God forbid, "a cleansing is needed." Let's please not give in to knee jerk reactions. Let's not lump all Muslims into the same basket, nor be suspicious of everyone who wears a turban or...
This past week an incident happened that reminded me of another time when the same thing occurred. I was staying at my nephew's in Billings because of medical appointments I had. The last day I was there, I ordered two pizzas delivered to his residence for our lunch. When the woman arrived with the pizzas, I gave my nephew's son $40 to pay for the food. He stepped outside the door to accept and pay for them. Coming back inside, he told me, "That girl who delivered the pizzas said she couldn't figure out how much change you had coming because...
For the last three weeks I have read the opinion of Mary Honrud. I found her comments interesting, but I am confused by her point of the three-part series. If I understood Mary correctly, she advocates the abortion of any unwanted child, during pregnancy. Should we stop there? Peter Sager, who teaches Ethics at an Ivy League University, claims it is morally ethical to abort a baby after the fact, for up to four years, if the baby shows signs of physical or mental disabilities. Could we not also extend the four-year time limit to any child who...
In answer to an article Mary put in The Glasgow Courier Oct. 28, “Are They Willing,” the questions were asked, “How many unwanted children are being born each year? How many of those unwanted children are abused and/or killed? In the article part II, Nov. 4, you say that the National Children's Alliance tells you that in 2013 an estimated 1,520 children in the United States died of abuse or neglect. Well, guess what? Way over 1,000 babies are murdered A DAY in this county by abortionists because people like you believe them to be throw...
In addition to Medicare I have a very generous employer’s retiree healthcare insurance policy which covers virtually any condition or procedure I can imagine needing. Of course, to enjoy this generous plan I also pay a generous premium, so, this being only time of year you can change health plans, as several recent mailings from insurers who want my business tell me, I thought I would look into saving myself some money and began to shop around. Now I wish I hadn’t even bothered. I had assumed I could understand the difference between hea...
John C. Saubak, 68, lifelong resident of the Lustre/South Peerless area, died on Veterans Day, Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2015. A memorial service will be held at Scobey Lutheran Church on Friday, Nov. 27, at 2:30 p.m. He was born July 30, 1947, attended elementary school at rural Lustre schools, and graduated from Scobey High School in 1965. He was drafted into the Army in 1966, trained in helicopter maintenance, and then was shipped to Vietnam in late 1967. He was a crew chief on a Huey helicopter....

Survivors include a brother, Terry Dack, of Glasgow; and a niece, Debbie Hern, of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho....

Rural community people seem to be multi-talented in every nook and cranny of the hobby world. All of us interact with a myriad of people through our day jobs; it is always delightful when we find out they also play with an entirely different skills set outside of their professions. The variety of crafts that local residents are able to create add another dimension of gift giving that allows us to buy local during the holiday season-or all year round. After all, money that's spent local, often...
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) and Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP) have developed a Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed action of translocating up to 40 sage grouse biennially between 2016–2020, from Montana to Alberta, totaling up to 120 sage grouse over the five-year period. In Canada, sage grouse are classified as an endangered species, and Canadian wildlife officials say sage grouse numbers in southeastern Alberta have declined about 80 percent since 1970. The proposed translocation is intended to counter f...
A is for Arrowhead by Toni Lagree isn't like any other alphabet book you have in your collection. In Lagree's book, the letters look like the words they represent. When her children were learning to read, she realized how difficult it was for a young person to grasp the abstract concept of a letter. "D is for dog," she says, "but a dog doesn't look anything like the letter D." Her solution? In A is for Arrowhead, D is for dustpan. Lagree believes strongly in the power of visual communication....
