Low water. That was the theme for this year's version of the Milk River Catfish Classic. How would the fishermen adapt? Would fishing become increasingly difficult?

Yes, fishing proved to be very difficult on an otherwise beautiful evening, however, many teams adapted and simply found a way. Eighty teams brought 276 cats to the scales at the famous midnight weigh-ins in downtown Glasgow. Forty-two teams caught their limit o...

Clouds hung over the area all day June 6, threatening rain and lightning. But the inclement weather did nothing to deter the competitive nature of fishermen who came in from across the region to net the largest catfish on the Milk. Though the weather looked rough, it never carried through on its threats beyond some brief rain. That rain may have helped a number of sportsmen who racked up the catches and the pounds at the 21st Catfish Classic. At the end of the Midnight weigh-ins, it was the...
Despite the frigid temperatures and a layer of snow across the county, Valley County residents gathered in Glasgow to pay tribute to the men and women who have served our country in uniform. The day began, as many do, with breakfast. This one was reserved, however, for veterans and their spouses, served at the VFW by Glasgow High School students volunteering their time. Locals, such as Don Fast and Joe Yeoman, gave their time and thoughts on service to Aaron Flint, who broadcasted his radio...

Many of the “old-timers” clamor about the old days, when we only had one classification and all of the kids competed in one state tournament. Fact is, every year Montana's best four-to-18 year-olds converge in Great Falls to compete at the State AAU Folkstyle tournament. Seventy-five teams and 1,350 kids combine to make this the most prestigious youth wrestling annual tournament in the state. With that said, the 50 Highlanders that made the trek didn’t just show up to hang out, they went to dominate. This was the second-largest team to ever...

More than 20 years ago, when he was a trustee on the Glasgow School Board, Rod Ost wrote a successful DNRC grant for trees. He planted 50 trees of different varieties around all the schools and at Alumni Park. Recently, he rescued one of them at East Side School, where a major construction project is going on. The tall blue spruce at the school entrance was supposed to be spared, but Ost got word that a contractor was going to cut it down. On Oct. 6 he rented a track hoe and with his daughter,...
