Two weekends ago Glasgow Speech and Drama attended the 2nd annual Eastern Montana Kickoff Speech and Drama Meet at West High School in Billings. It is a massive meet with over 500 - all class competitors from all over eastern Montana. It served as a great motivator to get our participants fired up and going for the season.

Friday night saw the clash of two evenly matched opponents as the Nashua Porcupines and the Dodson Coyotes took to the gym floor at Saco High School to determine the Junior High Girls' Championship. Both teams advanced earlier in the day with the Coyotes outlasting the Frazer Bearcubs, and the Porcupines dispatching the Lustre Lions. The game started out as both teams appeared jittery and nervous about playing in the big game. The Coyotes jumped out to an early 6 – 4 first quarter lead. In the s...
The first home game for the U19 lady Ice Dawgs was held Sunday, Nov. 22 at the Valley Event Center, with a respectable hometown crowd attending to cheer them on. Facing off against the Crosby Comets, the girls came away with a relatively easy win against their opponent. Taking advantage of a power play in the first period, Jaycee Wixson scored an unassisted goal for the first point of the game. Kennedy Schmidt scored the remaining two goals with assists from Wixson and Alex Simensen. "The girls...
The Glasgow boys put up a good fight in Bozeman on Nov. 21-22, but lost both games against a full compliment of 18 skaters and two goalies. The Dawgs struggled with 11 skaters and two goalies. Head Coach Tim Padden and Assistant Coach Mike Eliason hope to add two more skaters to the active roster as the season progresses. As things stood, Kaden Fossum, Grant Morken and Ethan Hartsock were unable to dress for the game. “We came out of the games with some injuries,” explained Eliason, adding, “but that’s pretty normal. There weren’t any subst...
There was plenty of hustle and sweat in the first week of the boys basketball practice at Glasgow High School. The boys seemed as giddy as the coaches were, happy that the drop of temperature outside coincides perfectly with the start of their winter sport on the shiny gym floor. However, Scottie boys basketball head coach Norm Braaten is not happy that only 17 boys turned out for the 2015-2016 season. "That's sad for Class B. We need to start involving kids in school basketball as early as 5th...

Lawren A. "Frosty" Frost, 81, of Glasgow, Mont., passed away of natural causes Sunday, Nov. 15, 2015, at the Frances Mahon Deaconess Hospital in Glasgow.

We are a nation of immigrants who despise immigrants. Syrians and Middle East refugees are just the most recent of the indigestible bits in the melting pot that we are so fond of claiming as our great distinction among nations. And Hispanics, like the poor, we will always have with us and will probably disparage them for another few decades in addition to the disparagement of the past 150 years, give or take. In 1939, a ship bearing 900 Jewish refugees from Hitler’s genocide was turned away from American shores. We excluded Asian peoples f...
When I wrote my first opinion piece for the Courier, I said we weren’t a Christian nation, as the Constitution may have been based on Biblical values, but it was not based on the life of Jesus Christ. Most of our Founding Fathers were Deists, meaning they did believe in God, but they did not believe in Jesus. They specifically did not want an established national religion, adamantly wanting every citizen to be able to believe and worship as they chose, and to not be punished for their choice of religion (or even no religion). I received some f...
Collateral damage: n. Unintended damage, injuries, or deaths caused by an action, especially unintended civilian casualties caused by a military operation. In a place that has been ravaged by civil war for four and a half years, the fleeing refugees are collateral damage. Syria’s troubles existed long before the Arab Spring in 2011, however. Iran’s closest ally has been involved in trouble in the Middle East as far back as my memory goes. I am by no means an expert in Middle East issues or relations, but even I can see that those fleeing, inn...
As Thanksgiving approaches, people are listing what they are grateful for. I, along with millions of other people in our nation, have much to be thankful for. But I am also thankful for things I don’t have. It isn’t necessary for me to be in a wheelchair because of my hip replacement surgery. I don’t have to travel miles for the simplest of medical care. And I can choose my doctor. When I want to travel to another town or state I don’t have to get permission from anyone to do so. And I don’t have to justify my reason for traveling. Although...
In her lame attempt to discredit me on my view on equal opportunity in hiring in America, Tess Fahlgren has missed the mark by a mile. I’m saying equal opportunity is an oxymoron. How can something be equal when it favors a certain population? In the past it was heavily in favor of the white male, I agree to that, but it has become reverse discrimination in recent years due to the EEOC. American manufacturing (what little there is of it) no longer hires on merit. They hire on skin color, sex and race. Could that be one of the reasons manufactur...

Valley Cinemas is holding over one film – The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 and adding a new feature, this week the kids-oriented The Good Dinosaur. With its 16 animated feature Pixar has returned to a familiar well, the story of a friendship between man and animal, or at least boy and dinosaur, who, with bravery and self-esteem issues finds himself washed away on a river and must – guess what? – struggle to get back home. The Good Dinosaur is one of those reassuring, platitude-filled family stories disguised as a cartoon in which a centr...
The Festival of Trees is a fundraising event for the Relay for Life, and is essentially an "easy button" for those looking to avoid the stress of the holidays. It's the only place in town where you can purchase a fully decorated tree or other holiday decorations and support a great cause at the same time. The 11th annual festival was held this past Friday and Saturday, Nov. 20 and 21, at the Elks. Friday evening began with a casual performance by the GHS swing choir and included a prime rib...
Lizzie LaGree, left, stirs the eggs to get the pumpkin filling started for the waiting pie crusts made by Aaron Mickelson, Tristin Johnson, Ainsley Loftsgaard, and Kolby Marsh (right). Ms. Richards' kindergarten class has been making pumpkin pies for 17 years. With lots of help from family members, 16 pies were baked at Irle Elementary School on Nov. 23.... Full story
