  • Wise Guys Finish First

    Gwen Cornwell, The Courier|Jun 9, 2021

    Sometimes, Wise guys finish first. That was the case at the 2021 Catfish Classic when Bobby and Robert Wise took the top slot. The Billings-based father-son duo reeled in a whopping 39.29 pounds of catfish on the main river channel. They unseated last year's champions, Dan Dupea and Eli Dupea, also both of Billings. The 2020 grandfather-grandson championship team finished in 23rd place this year, with 22.15 pounds. The Wise team had notched four Top 10 finishes in eight years of competing in...

  • Publisher's Desk

    Chris McDaniel, Courier Publisher|Jun 9, 2021

    The Courier is proud to announce the launching of its new “Bonnie Lifestyle” arts and entertainment section. Check it out in the C-Section. It is my hope this section will shine a light on all the talented artists in Valley County. Previously, such talents were under-served by this newspaper, and I hope this new offering corrects that issue. For our inaugural edition, I featured “Dames at Sea,” currently on stage at Fort Peck Theatre. It was certainly nice to dust off the old cobwebs spread... Full story

  • Police Chief's Desk

    Tyler Edwards, GPD|Jun 9, 2021

    The Glasgow Police Department relies on the community to be their eyes and ears on the streets.

  • Letters to the Editor For June 9, 2021

    Jun 9, 2021

    Just the facts Welcome to Glasgow! I grew up in Valley County, but have lived in Michigan 37 years. You had an editorial about how people reacted to news. My advice: Tell the facts. Let people make their own opinions. State the lake level is up (or down). Don't state that it is because of Global warming, or because of which party is in charge of state legislature. People can figure it out. Our local Michigan "Paper" is very Left opinionated and all issue "articles" mirror political talking...
