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...
The Nashua Invitational track and field meet was held last week in Wolf Point and the Hinsdale Raider girls did well taking home a fifth place finish. Leading the way for the ladies was Bethany Lacock winning the high jump (4-10); the 100-meter (13.3); 100-meter hurdles (17); the triple jump (32-9) and the long jump (14-3). Just another day at the races for this young lady. Delaney Beil won fourth in the 100 hurdles (19.4) Courtney Capdeville took a sixth place (22) in the same event. 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...
The Glasgow golf team hosted the Glasgow Invite last Friday and the Scotties didn't disappoint. The boys team edged out Malta by three strokes to take first in the event with a team score of 372. Luke Gunderson and Braden Barstad, Glasgow's two top golfers, scored an 83 and 97 respectively. The remaining three Scottie golfers, Wyatt Holzworth, Mikal Mavencamp and Kyle Humbert rounded out the varsity scoring with rounds of 89, 103 and 123 respectively. On the JV side for the boys, Braden Meland...
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...
The Glacier Nationals of the North American 3 Hockey League officially announced their intention to move to Havre, Montana on Monday. Club General Manager Butch Kowalka made the announcement of the three year contract signed April 2 with the Havre Youth Hockey Association. The contract, with options for renewal, should be the beginning of a long and positive relationship with the community of Havre and surrounding areas. With new membership in the NA3HL, the Nationals have retooled more than just their head coach. In what will be considered a m...
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...
The Valley Event Center was packed with vendors from wall to wall this past Saturday as the Glasgow/Fort Peck chapter of Walleyes Unlimited held it's annual bazaar. Newly elected President of the local chapter, Seth Morehouse said that an event of this magnitude takes months of preparation. "We have 52 vendors here at the bazaar this year which is right around normal for us," Morehouse said. The real highlight of the event took place later in the evening as a banquet was put on by the chapter...
It was a busy weekend for gun collectors and enthusiasts alike as the Glasgow Gun Show was held this past weekend at the Glasgow Civic Center. This is the third consecutive year that the show has been organized by Al Kwasinski. Kwasinski, a member of the Weapons Collectors of Montana, said that organizing an event like this takes months of planning. "When the vendors leave here today, a lot of them will tell me to book them for next year," Kwasinski said. He pointed out that for those who don't...
With a new season underway, the Glasgow Scottie softball team wasted little time to continue the type of play that they have been known for the past few seasons. The Scotties opened up the season against Miles City on April 10 with an impressive 7-1 victory. Shyla Bergtoll got the win for Glasgow going five innings and allowing only one hit while recording five strikeouts. The lone sore spot on her stat line is the four walks she allowed, but as the season progresses, Bergtoll should not have many more games with that amount of walks. Wrapping...

The Porcupine Invitational was held this past weekend at Glasgow High School as 19 junior high teams competed in what was less than ideal weather conditions. Glasgow was unable to clinch the top spot in either boys or girls team scores, but they still had a respectable showing nonetheless with the girls taking second overall and the boys coming in third. On the girls side of the events, Glasgow saw Emily Kolstad take first in the 200 with a time of 30.4 seconds. The Scotties continued to see suc...
The Bozeman Tier II Ice Dogs rode a wave of success to Wayne, N.J. After muscling their way through a handful of tournaments that started back in late December. The dream ride was derailed in the National Tournament however as the Bozeman finished in third place in the tournament. The Ice Dogs continued their dominance in pool play of the tournament, winning their first three games. The first game saw the Bozeman squad go up against South Carolina on April 2. Bozeman skated to a 4-2 victory in t...
It was a clear, nearly windless day for the opening meet of the 2014 track and field season for the Hinsdale Raiders. Something that was missed for the better part of last season. First up for the Hinsdale girls was Bethany Lacock with a near repeat performance from last year, winning the 100-meter, 100 hurdles, pole vault and the triple jump. She finished in third place in the high jump. Courtney Capdeville placed second behind Lacock in the pole vault adding points to the team total. For the...

Shed-antler hunters and other recreationists planning to visit a Montana Wildlife Management Area are reminded that while many popular WMAs open at noon on May 15, several do not open until June 1. It is illegal to enter a state WMA prior to its formal opening day. Buck deer and bull elk and moose grow antlers each year, some to magnificent size, which drop off to regrow each spring. Hunting for and collecting these “shed” antlers in spring has become a popular activity on more than 30 WMAs managed by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks. Many of...
Montana’s verified wolf population remained stable last year while livestock depredations by wolves continued to decline, dropping about 27 percent from 2012. A total of 627 wolves were counted in Montana at the end of 2013, compared to 625 last year, according to Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks’ federally required annual wolf conservation and management report released today. “Among the best news is that confirmed wolf depredations on livestock took a significant drop in 2013,” said FWP Director Jeff Hagener. “And that comes on top of fewer...
The Glasgow Highlanders traveled to the Billings Metra for the Montana Open this past weekend. 28 Highlanders were part of the 1,600 wrestlers that competed in the tournament. The Open is the premier amateur wrestling tournament in the state and this years version was one of the largest ever held in the State of Montana. Glasgow native Jason Weirs, Montana Open tournament director, has done an outstanding job over the past several years helping build this tournament into a powerful regional...
As the Glasgow Scottie track and field team continues to practice in preparation for their first meet this weekend, a familiar face could be seen walking around the field. John LaBonty. LaBonty, less than two weeks removed from a procedure he underwent to have a kidney removed, was once again roaming the track field at Glasgow High School, visiting with his team giving them instruction during the practice. LaBonty pointed out that he still has a long recovery ahead of him, but said he felt it...

The 2014 baseball season is coming up fast with Babe Ruth and American Legion signups behind us and practices ready to start. With an astounding growth in local interest, while other Montana cities can’t field teams, we had over 50 kids sign up this year and we’re not done yet. That makes for two American Legion teams and three Babe Ruth teams. While the numbers of kids signing up is increasing, the number of fields we have to utilize isn’t quite there. While the current field is in a beautiful location at Sullivan Park, what this commu...
