A trio of both current and former Glaswegians was elected to the Montana Coaches Association’s Hall of Fame on July 30 in Great Falls. Paul Barta, John LaBonty, and Rollie Sullivan were among the Hall’s five-man class of 2015; each received a commemorative plaque celebrating his long-term commitment to the state’s youth athletics. Separate picture plaques depicting each coach will be placed on permanent display in the Montana State University Fieldhouse. LaBonty served Glasgow High School for 34 years in a variety of roles. Most notably, he co...
Scotties’ head coach Greg Liebelt sees talent abounding in Glasgow. Physical size, mental durability – the pickings for potential gridiron stars are hardly slim on the Hi-Line. Yet Liebelt senses a participatory resistance. Some, he believes, have had their interest in the game artificially tempered and put off by recent, widely-publicized concerns of the potential long-term health issues stemming from a collection of seasons spent between the hash marks. Liebelt is a football lifer bent on raising his Scotties program back to the ers...
While Marc Kloker of MT Fish, Wildlife and Parks is hesitant to surf the unsteady crest of speculation concerning the future, he and barroom soothsayers alike agree that Northeast Montana is experiencing a fishing boom of unprecedented proportion. On the heels of the region’s myriad July walleye tournaments, August promises to be, zodiacally-speaking, the Month of the Salmon. “I and the FWP biologists want to keep more of a scientific look [on fishing],” says Kloker. “We’ll keep it scientific, give the public some good informati...
State wildlife officials are hosting public hearings to discuss and take comment on a draft environmental impact statement for bison conservation and management in Montana. For the Region 6 area, the upcoming hearing will be held in Malta on Wednesday, Aug. 19. Bison are currently designated as both a wildlife species in need of management and a species in need of disease control in Montana. The draft statewide bison conservation and management EIS, prepared by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks, considers the possibility of bison restoration...
Victory is sweet – just ask any Glasgow Kiwanis swimmer. With just 29 swimmers, the Thunder brought home gold this past weekend from the state swim meet in Roundup, outscoring five other teams in their division. Not long into the first day of the meet, it was apparent that it was going to be a memorable weekend. The powerhouse relay team of Katie Kaiser, Khloe Krumwiede, Jordan Kulczyk, and DJ Rasmusan proved they were a force to be reckoned with, winning gold in the 200m freestyle relay. The 1...
After twice staving off the Laurel Dodgers last week to win the East Legion A Tournament title, the Reds stormed into Kalispell, site of the Montana state tournament, straddling a steam engine of momentum, each hand pressed firmly to their hip holsters, ready for the imminent showdown. After a come-from-behind 5-4 victory over the South region runners up, the Helena Reps – a game which saw Keil Krumwiede scatter five hits over eight innings on the mound, surrendering just one earned run, w...
On Saturday, Aug 1, the Glasgow/Fort Peck chapter of Walleyes Unlimited hosted the fifteenth annual Ladies' Walleye Fishing Tournament. Each of the 49 pairs of fisherwomen which entered staked an $80 entry fee, all of which went into the event purse. "It was a great turnout," said event liason Jill Meiers. "We usually get in the low forties, so this year was a great showing." After a rules meeting on Friday night, the fishers retired to their beds, knowing that in mere hours they would each be e...
A ninth-inning single by Blake Mattfeldt capped a four-run Reds comeback versus Laurel on Sunday, foiling the Dodgers' bid for a seventh consecutive East Legion A tournament title and sealing the championship for Glasgow. Mattfeldt dug into the batters box in the final frame following a leadoff hit by Ryan Padden which wicketed through the left fielder's legs and, when the dust kicked up from Padden's churning cleats had settled, left him standing on third base. Mattfeldt, who had in the past...

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...

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...
