I received a letter to the editor early last week concerning the service of civil court documents to a Valley County woman reportedly suffering from dementia who is currently being cared for at an area nursing home. The writer detailed their complete disapproval of how the situation was handled by the Valley County Sheriff's Office. Read it in the opinion section. Since I received the letter on a Tuesday, it was too late to seek out more information about the circumstances surrounding the event... Full story
I am writing this letter, pondering the horrible actions of some people and how they feel they are entitled to do absolutely asinine and morally reprehensible things with no conscience. On Saturday, Aug. 31, a deputy with the Valley County Sheriff's Department went to a residence in Glasgow, looking for a woman to serve her with legal papers. This was the residence of the son of this woman. The son explained to this deputy sheriff his mother was a resident of Valley View Nursing Home and was in... Full story

I wanted to thank you for the letter you put in The Courier July 21. It was very funny and honest. Sure, being in jail isn't much fun. We all have lessons in our life to learn every day. Drinking never solves any problems, just adds to them. My daughter was here from Great Falls, and she had to take the paper home that week. It made her day, too. One thing I'd like to see come back is news from Opheim, Nashua and Hinsdale. Other publishers took it out. They said it wasn't noteworthy, whatever... Full story

The Saturday Night Finale of the 2021 Northeast Montana Fair was not to be missed, as veteran country band "Diamond Rio" took the stage in the middle of the arena to end the event on one heck of a high note. Marty Roe, lead singer, noted it was a great pleasure for he and the band to perform in the "Middle of Nowhere." During their set, the band played many of their hits. Roe said the band had intended on performing some of their more modern music, but feedback from the crowd changed their...
"Now, there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit." 1 Corinthians 12:4 A gift is something given willingly to someone without payment. A Birthday gift, for example. We don't earn birthday gifts, do we? Our birth is out of our control. We just happen to be born on that particular day. Our text says there are spiritual gifts, too. These gift are freely given by God. We don't earn or merit them. Of course, the best gift God gives us is His Son, Jesus Christ, as our substitute on the cross f... Full story
For the past few weeks, whenever the wind has blown, dried up leaves from the shade trees have been blown down. They’re scattered all over the lawn. The stress of the drought has overcome the amount of watering of the yard I’ve been able to do. I’ve concentrated more on the garden, for my edibles. It’s so sad to see all the devastation from the lack of rain. Because of the drought, and at Dennis’s suggestion, I’d removed the grass catcher attachment from the mower, figuring the lawn needed the extra mulching to help hold in what water it go...
What makes Sara of Long Run, run? Just when the Long Run Firefighters thought that they might have a break from fighting wildfires such as the massive 447-acre-wildfire about three miles from Saint Marie, MT in the early morning hours on 17 of July, another one, albeit only about 5-acres, this time 4 miles up route 24, Chief Sara Johnson-Bryan led her fire crew into the fields again. It was Saturday the 31st this time, and perhaps she was looking forward to enjoying her weekend off with her...
Another Fair year is behind us. I am sure that many of our area residents are breathing a sigh of relief. It takes a lot of commitment on the part of many to have a Fair. I am remembering some things that were a given at the Fair. Does anyone remember the many games of Horseshoes that were played between the Culinary buildings at the Fairgrounds. Was this organized by the Fair Board or some area resident that had an interest? Our Fair is a wonderful social time and I would imagine many area residents would be more than welcome to volunteer to...
The Internet of Things, or IoT. This is what we call the ever-growing list of household items which have gained internet connectivity in recent years. The benefits are easy to see, with smart thermostats and dusk-aware lights making our homes generally a more pleasant place to spend time. This does however bring about concerns regarding security and device longevity. Is there anything to that concern? Are we selling our digital souls for the ability to make toast from anywhere in the world? We...
