Where do I start? So much happened this weekend at the divisional swim meet in Plentywood, I don't even know where to begin. The weather is always safe, right? Wrong. It was hot. Really hot. That probably goes without saying, but there was some notable weather on Saturday. The meet was going full swing when suddenly, at around 3 p.m., Mother Nature reared her ugly head and humbled everyone in her path. The afternoon was perfectly still and serene until there was a strong but fleeting burst of...
The Reds wrapped up the regular season this week, sloughing through the ticker tape with a 2-4 record in their final six games versus Laurel, the Billings Cardinals, and the Billings Blue Jays. Glasgow split each of the first two-game series. In game one against Laurel, the Reds faced a brick wall in the form of the Dodgers' starter, who yielded just two hits in a complete game effort. Glasgow fell, 11-1. In game two, the Reds rebounded with a 7-4 victory, capitalizing on two hits each by Gabe...
Chinook was the setting for the last regular swim meet of the season this past weekend. The Glasgow Kiwanis Thunder was represented by less than half of their team for the two day event. The team eventually brought home fourth place and had three high point winners. Dalton Sand, Trevor Johnson, and Katie Kaiser each won all three of their events in their age groups and received individual trophies for their efforts. The smallest group of competitors for the Thunder was the 8 and under girls....

MT Fish, Wildlife and Parks is seeking public comment on proposed guidelines to establish elk hunting seasons before or after the existing archery and general rifle seasons. The additional seasons, called elk shoulder seasons, would be used where needed to reduce elk populations. “We’re looking at what tools we can implement to get elk numbers down in districts where we are over population objectives” said Ken McDonald FWP’s Wildlife Division administrator. A shoulder season could run from Aug. 15 to Feb. 15 outside the five-week general...

The registration starts at 8 a.m. at the Glasgow Civic Center and the run/walk begins at 9 a.m. This is a 2.5-mile fun run/walk with proceeds to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project.

A pair of contestants in the 2015 Governer's Cup Walleye Tournement tries their luck in sight of the shaft houses at the Fort Peck Dam....
At 6:45 Friday morning, 200 boats lowered their motors into Fort Peck Marina's placid waters, waited as their drivers cleared the bilge from their hidden underbellies, and, upon finishing the cleansing, sped out to various coves and fishing hotspots across the lake's 245,000 acre expanse. The day's nascent sunbeams danced tiptoe upon the glistening pond. Birds chirped their universal, throaty approval, albeit in different pitches up and down the tonic gamut. The 28th annual Montana Governor's...
Clay Kittleson (left) and Sam Lawson claim this weekend's Governor's Cup crown with a total weight of 34.52 pounds, including a 20.5-pound haul on the second of the tournament's two days. The duo staved off the closest competition by nearly 2 pounds. The men both hail from Fort Peck....
The Reds drove to Laurel last Tuesday with their fate in their hands. Tied in the loss column with league-leading Lewistown, and holding two games in hand, Glasgow knew it could draw even at the top of the table with a spate of strong midweek performances, first versus the Dodgers, then on Wednesday in a twinbill at Lewistown. The denouement of the regular season, however, spiraled nearly out of control following three losses in four games, leaving coach Jack Sprague’s hopes for a high seed in next week’s East Legion Tournament dangling by one...
In Little League, the world is yours, plain as the undiscerning eye makes it. The basepath is a highway; the ball, your toll. Each swing is a time capsule, vacuum-sealed and stored in the mind’s boundless vault upon each successive step into the beige batter’s box dirt. The unadorned present whistles ever-tangibly on the cool, dry Montana breeze. He whose aim is unwavering – to move the bat along the selfsame downward plane regardless of chirping parents and the unknowable whims of the umpire’s tongue – is he who sees the truth of his reaso...
For every Thunder swimmer that won a race in Scobey this past weekend, a new pool record was established. That's one of the benefits of competing in a newly constructed swimming pool. The relay teams did very well, as is typical for the Thunder. Each Glasgow relay team placed at least third, with four first place finishes. Earning third place finishes for the girls were the 8 & under 100m freestyle and medley relays, the 9-10 100m freestyle relay, and the 11-12 200m medley relay. Earning second...

For one weekend each July, the fishing world stops to cast a line into the deep-teal bliss of Fort Peck Lake. On July 10-11, the Governor's Cup Walleye Tournament will reaffirm its indelible stamp on Hi-Line summer culture, as it has for the past 46 years. "We used to call it 'Walleye Week'," says Lisa Olk, the executive director of Glasgow's Chamber of Commerce, when asked whether fireworks or fishing takes precedence as the town's preeminent July tradition. "So definitely the Gov' Cup," she be...
Buoyed by a week of hard work following their Terry Jablonski Tournament championship, the Reds took four games out of four Thursday and Friday night, two apiece from league rival Lewistown Redbirds and the Richland County Patriots. Both of the games versus the latter ended with the 10-run mercy rule's taking effect after five innings. "We knew coming in we had to get [wins]," said coach Jack Sprague. Lewistown ambled into Sullivan Park seeking to avenge last Sunday's title game loss and cushion...
Despite having one of the largest number of registered swimmers in their division, the Glasgow Kiwanis Thunder had the least number of swimmers participate in the Lewistown meet held this past weekend. Senior swimmer Tony Kaiser was the only male swimmer from Glasgow to attend. Also attending from Glasgow were senior swimmer Jordan Kulczyk, intermediate swimmer Katie Kaiser, and junior swimmer Raelee Dowden. Although they had a low number of swimmers, the Thunder achieved some fairly...
The Glasgow Reds returned home from Dickinson, ND, site of the weekend's Terry Jablonski Tournament, with a quartet of victories to their name and a trophy to show for their efforts; Saturday's 15-5 drubbing at the hands of the Dickinson Roughriders, the tournament's host, was bookended by Thursday and Friday's respective wins over Spearfish, S.D., and Regina, Sask. and a sweep of Sunday's twinbill over Billings and Lewistown to seal the title. At last weekend's Lewistown tournament, the Reds fe...
The heat of Saturday's noontime sun at Glasgow's Cherry Creek Roping Arena was tempered by a wavering summer breeze, chasing from the conscious mind any stray musings of one's ability to fry an egg on a bald spot while setting the scene for a day in lassoing paradise. Each individual participant competed on three discrete teams of two ropers; one partner was selected at the entrant's discretion, while the remaining two were assigned by a name-in-the-hat drawing. In total, 118 pairs entered the...
Three hundred and two miles, 91 degrees, 47 events, 26 swimmers, two days. That all adds up to fourth place and two high point winners for the Glasgow Kiwanis Thunder. The fourth swim meet of the season was held in Glendive this past weekend. Overall, the team struggled with the heat, but many swimmers still managed to improve their times in individual events. The Thunder also managed to claim high point status in two age groups. Katie Kaiser earned high point in the 13–14 year old girls with t...
From DNRC The Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) and firefighters across Montana want to help you celebrate Independence Day with wildfire safety in mind. As we draw near the Fourth of July, many of us celebrate with family and friends by enjoying campfires, barbecues and firework displays. While these activities encourage fun times and great memories, it is important to understand they may also pose serious threats and risks. The tip of a sparkler burns at a temperature of more than 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, which...

The Thunder hosted another successful swim meet this weekend, welcoming 268 swimmers from 10 communities to Glasgow. With 30 swimmers placing in several events, the Thunder claimed second place behind the hard to beat Sidney Tiger Sharks. The team had definite strong and consistent improvement from each swimmer in almost every event, and some strong performances from swimmers who competed for the first time this past weekend. "It's rewarding to see the kids improve so much each week," said head...
