Dear Editor, As someone who had the privilege of working for Republican State Auditor E.V. "Sonny" Omholt, I know firsthand the critical importance of the Montana State Auditor's office.

It served all the people of Montana, regardless of their politics. Sonny's unwavering commitment to fairness and integrity set a standard that must be upheld today. The... Full story

And the inside of my vehicle did not smell like a greasy garage...
Dear Editor, The Middle of Nowhere Pony Club (MNPC) is truly a gift to our little Middle of Nowhere town! You may find yourself asking, "What is Pony Club?"

Mary Honrud / For the Courier We spent the past week (plus a few days - there were some weather delays) harvesting our wheat crop. I really appreciate the Courier holding over my column from two weeks ago. It freed up a bit of my time so instead of writing I was cooking. I usually cram in my writing Sunday evenings (as I'm doing with this column) after spending the afternoon golfing. At least that's what I do in the summer. Last week I played piano for church (service is at 11 a.m.), then came...
