Yesterday’s Memories COMPILED BY GWENDOLYNE HONRUD 10 Years Ago Wednesday, Dec. 1, 2010 Nick Kolstad loves the outdoors, and fills his drawings and paintings with wildlife images. The 18-year-old’s work was featured at ArtSpot last June. But because he had Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a progressive degeneration of the muscles, he uses a wheelchair and he can’t hunt in the woods any more. Last week, a lot of volunteers came together and granted Nick the wish he applied for two years ago through the United Special Sportsman Alliance. On Friday he...
The Glasgow Scottie boys brought home seventh and the girls claimed eighth at the Montana State Class B Cross Country Meet on Oct. 23 in Kalispell. The two-day all-class event was spread out over the course of two days and spectators were limited to accommodate the global coronavirus pandemic that has struck Montana hard over the last few weeks. But viruses were not the only natural event to put added pressure and to change things up on this year's runners. As of Friday afternoon, an October...
It was not the outcome the team wanted, but its not over either.

Regardless of expectations, the Scotties still pulled off a second-place finish and punched 10 tickets to State-which included two freshmen but not a top-ranked senior. They fell in the point count behind Huntley Project by a...
