This is the second of two stories on human trafficking and survivor Windie Lazenko's visit to Glasgow, where she spoke during events with high school students and then adults. As the adults gathered later in the evening, she told some of the same stories. She explained that her experience catapulted her into a life of self destruction. Around 30 law enforcement, community members and concerned citizens came to learn about not only the dangers and risks that faced our youth, but how they could...

For the past year more than one organization has been looking at making a downtown revitalization a reality. Several small projects and grants have helped the city of Glasgow work on gaining funding and planning to make the downtown look a little better and help to attract more business and tourism.

The first grant to help make that project a reality came from the Theo Beck Foundation. That first grant covered the purchase of five...

Their spokesperson said, “We intend to bring a less costly but comparable in cleaning power laundry detergent into our stores in the near future.” I was ready to rail at Walmart for being un-American. For doing something that would eliminate some American jobs. Then I studied the labeling on...
I have thought long and hard about some of the articles that have appeared in The Courier these past weeks, the ones written by Virgil Vaupel, Susan Watterson, Bonnie Davidson and Joann Beard. I feel there is more that should be said because there is a terrible sadness in my heart over many who are being mislead by those who do not know the word of God. They are telling sinners it is alright to do things that the Bible clearly says not to do. We are all sinners. The Bible states this very clearly in Romans 3:23, where it says, “All have s...
