1 Years Ago Wednesday, Sept. 29, 2011 • The Glasgow Scottie Band showed off in the Homecoming Parade this year, boasting a completely new set of uniforms. Over decades of use, the band’s distinctive kilts had grown shabby and in short supply. • Dave Strohmaier and his family arrived in Glasgow on Amtrak last Thursday to make two points; to make sure passenger rail service remains strong in Montana and to “get Congress back on track.” • They didn’t post a perfect score, but the Glasgow girls’ cross country team did run its best meet of the sea...

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. That was the sentiment put off by Scottie head wrestling coach Jory Casterline after his team finished in the runner-up slot at the Eastern B/C Divisional Wrestling Tournament in Huntley Project on Feb. 8. 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...

The Scottie cross country team finished up their regular season of competition at the Harlem Invitational on Oct. 13. With a clean sweep of the meet for both the boys and girls, it was a nice way to end the season. Although both teams performed well, a change in the venue may have affected their overall performance. The course was originally set to be held in Harlem, but had to be moved to Ft. Belknap due to muddy conditions. Alaina Sallee, a senior on the team, was mildly disappointed in her...

The Scottie track season ended with a mixture of disappointments and triumphs. The 2018 State Class B track meet was held in Laurel May 25 and 26, and Glasgow was represented by nearly 30 athletes. Conditions were less than favorable for the competitors with scorching hot sun beating down for most of the weekend. Relief from the temperatures came only at the end of the day on Saturday, when the skies began to cloud over and rain threatened the event. Navigating the venue can be difficult as well...
The Scotties have been dominating the track all season, and they don't intend to stop now.
