  • Nesbitt Wins Debut MMA Match

    Gwendolyne Honrud, The Courier|Jul 27, 2022

    KillEagle Promotions was in town again July 23 for another round of MMA fights. The highlight – at least for the hometown crowd – was Damien Nesbitt’s debut and first-round victory. With only two months of MMA training under his belt, combined with a lifetime of wrestling experience, the 2022 Glasgow High School graduate took only one round to secure his win with a TKO. “I feel pretty good, actually,” he told the Courier the day after his fight. Nesbitt entered the cage against...

    Jul 27, 2022

    Dear Editor, After homesteading in Valley County and later living on farms bordering the Milk River near Hinsdale and Glasgow, the family of John Sherwood and Ruth Hellen Clark Sherwood, my parents, moved from Glasgow to Missouri in June of 1951.

  • Vacation Consequences

    Mary Honrud, For the Courier|Jul 27, 2022

    Last week I had a mini-vacation: I flew to Florida for the purpose of bringing our two grandsons to Montana so they could have their own vacation. They’ll have fodder for the inevitable “what did you do over your summer vacation” reports for school, which starts Aug. 10! Of course, one doesn’t simply fly to Florida and return to Montana the next day. One must also spend a few days recovering from the whole airport/flight experience. I was able to enjoy family time with our middle daughter and her family. I enjoyed several fabulous...

  • Spins A Web, Any Size

    Richard Noble, For the Courier|Jul 27, 2022

    We have a lot to thank the internet for. It enables us to be entertained by cat videos, stream endless music and inflict photos of ourselves holding a fish on everyone else using that dating app. The web as it looks today though is a far cry from what it was like a relatively short time ago. It’s still changing, too. Something called Web3 is on the horizon, and it stands to shake up how the internet is structured on the technical side, while offering greater conveniences to the average user. What then do we need to know about this new...

  • Glendive Squad Crack the Sidney Code

    Montana Cats Staff, For the Courier|Jul 27, 2022

    There always seems to be two mainstays at the Monster Cat Roundup. The anglers should always expect a challenging bite and they should never forget the sunscreen. This year provided more of the same. The summer heat peaked in the mid 90's this time around, but despite those difficult conditions it is safe to say the 50-boat field won this version of the battle. Twenty teams weighed in over 20 lbs. breaking the previous record of seventeen teams with 20+ pounds in 2020. Teams reported solid...

    Hayley Young, For the Courier|Jul 27, 2022

    The Glasgow/ Fort Peck Chapter of Walleyes Unlimited held their 22nd annual ladies' tournament this past weekend. The weather was perfect, maybe even a little on the warm side.
