Willie Thibault, Glasgow High School’s vice principal, activities director and transportation director, will be moving on to become principal for Washington Middle School in Glendive in the fall. Thibault first got the idea of wanting to become a teacher in his junior year of high school. He credits his high school history teacher, one who would come dressed in outfits during lesson plans to get his class more involved, as the one responsible for planting the seed. It wasn’t until the age of 31 where he decided to go back to school and pur...
Glasgow Track and Field blew past the competition in the 2B District track meet held at Glasgow last weekend as the Scotties won both the boys and girls titles. "I can't say enough about how hard these kids have worked the entire season," said Glasgow head coach John Labonty. "We had a number of kids advance to Divisionals and if we can get the same performance from them there, we'll have a lot of them going on to State." The Scottie girls took first place with a score of 237. Second place Malta...
The Glasgow Scottie softball team is in the midst of another great season as they prepare for the Eastern B-C Divisionals that will be held in Glasgow this Friday and Saturday. Before the seeding in Divisionals could be set in stone, Glasgow had to travel to Billings last weekend to play West Billings, Colstrip, Conrad, Shepherd and Huntley Project. Glasgow squared off against West Billings JV first and it was that game in which Falcon believed set the tone for the rest of the weekend. "We...

It’s approaching the time of year where the sun finally comes out and the temperatures heat up and all that can mean is another joyous summer spent at the Glasgow City pool. In order to get the pool ready for the summertime crowd, it has to be drained and repairs need to be made before being opened to the public. That task is the responsibility of Jory Casterline and Roger Canen. Casterline, who runs the Recreation Department, said that the city is in need of a completely new pool, but can’t see exactly how building a new one is feasible at...

This week the top 10 from the Milk River Activity Center will travel to Billings to compete in the Special Olympics.

It's been a solid two weeks of performances for the Nashua Track and Field team as they approach the 3C meet this week.

It's the meet everyone has been gearing up for. The Northeastern Top 10 Meet was held in Glasgow on Tuesday that showcased the best track and field athletes in the area. The Scotties themselves had plenty of representation in the meet and as has come expected with Glasgow track and field, fans of the team didn't leave disappointed. In the girls track events, Megan Dailey took third place in the 100-meter race with a time of 13.13. Some people might think that number is unlucky, but for Dailey it...
It was a brisk day for a track meet last Saturday at Scottie Field made a tad bit worse with an 8 a.m. starting time and a light breeze from the north but the boys and girls from Hinsdale were on a mission. The weather was furthermost from their thoughts this day when Hinsdale honors the memory of Hinsdale’s number one sports fan with this memorial track and field meet. The boys put quite a few on the podium and with just one first place finish the Raiders took second place behind Fairview. Pablo Pascual’s 12.19 was good enough to take two poi...

Paddlefish season begins May 15 on the Yellowstone River below the mouth of the Bighorn River and Missouri River downstream of Fort Peck Dam. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks biologists continue to monitor these unique populations and take a conservative approach to managing these long-lived fishes. “Opening day this year falls on a catch and release only day so anglers need to be aware that if they intend to fish on opening day, Intake Fishing Access Site is their only option that day”, said Mike Backes, Region 7 Fisheries Manager. All paddlefis...
I have been thinking about starting a column for a while now. It would never hurt to practice writing them, especially when you are in your first job, and not officially out of college. That comes on May 17. High Five! This column won't be your typical sports column, while we will discuss sports, there will also be pieces inserted in here from my experiences around Glasgow. Names will be left out of course, maybe. Now that the introductions of the premise of this column have been touched on, sit back, relax, and enjoy. • What Glasgow track a...

For the boys, speedster Pablo Pascual was under the weather...
Glasgow track and field competed in Sidney over the weekend and as usual, the Scotties had strong showings across the board as they are trying to get as many athletes qualified as possible for the top 10 meet which takes place next Tuesday. "I was very pleased with my team's performance," said Glasgow head coach John LaBonty. "It was really a tough day for track with the wind conditions." It was a good test and for the most part, the kids stepped up and competed." Girls distance running has...

Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks will host a series of nine public meetings in May to review and discuss recent recommendations from an advisory council tasked with adjusting Montana’s hunting and fishing licenses and fees. The Fish & Wildlife Licensing and Funding Advisory Council spent the past eight months examining FWP’s current license system and funding cycle for fish and wildlife management. That work resulted in recent recommendations to FWP Director Jeff Hagener that would provide an additional $6.25 million a year to stave off deep bud...
The Glasgow softball team continues to mow through their opponents as they are now 5-0 on the season. Scotties head coach Mark Falcon acknowledged the good start his team is on, but said they’re far from where he wants them to be. “We started off pretty well,” Falcon said. “We know what we need to work on. We haven’t had time to have defensive practices yet, but we need to be moving a little more on our bunting and fly balls.” Falcon said that the Scotties are hitting just fine at the plate although he would like to see his team executing m...
The Glasgow Scotties track and field team held an impromptu meet at Glasgow on Monday after their previously scheduled meet at Cut Bank was canceled due to snow. The Scotties are picking up steam as they get deeper into the track and field season. John LaBonty, the Scotties head coach, said that an event like the one held on Monday was still a process of putting the right athletes in the right events. "We need to take kids and throw them in different events so we can see some things," LaBonty...
Hinsdale’s Lacock and Pascual Still Going Strong Pablo Pascual of Hinsdale and Spain keeps pushing toward a slot at the state track and field meet which will be held in Great Falls May 30 and 31. That’s the closest state tournament or meet Hinsdale has had in at least 10 years. Only 250 miles so be there or be square. This meet was held in Glasgow last Monday. I thought the four day school week was supposed to take care of the weekday meets and games. But I guess because there was no school anyway there was no sense in giving the kids a day...

This year’s Montana paddlefish seasons will again kick off on May 1 with the opening of the Missouri River section from Fort Benton downstream to Fort Peck Dam. But the public needs to be aware that camping and other access will be limited at the James Kipp Recreation Area at the Fred Robinson Bridge south of Malta due to recent ice-jam related flooding. The area is a popular location for many paddlefish anglers and their families to base. “Anglers need to be aware that camping sites will be limited at Kipp” said Bureau of Land Manag...
