St. Raphael’s Parish Council of Catholic Women and the youth of our parish commend the Glasgow community for its tremendous support of our spring and fall rummage sales. The donations of clothing and household items have grown each year and have allowed us to donate to other charitable causes.

Last week a friend sent me an email about the loss of a loved one in a car wreck. Several days later, my friend emailed me the eulogy they’d written asking if I would proofread it. I did so, sent the eulogy back to them and extended my condolences. At the end of the eulogy was this paragraph: An old German story says God finished naming the flowers, but left one without a name. So as not to be forgotten, a small voice pleaded, “Forget me not, O Lord,” and so it came to pass. The Lord named the tiny blue flower forget-me-not. This summer I decid...
Here’s one for all older homemakers and cooks. Do you remember all of the old bread that was saved? The heel was never thrown away if not eaten. Leftover bread was never thrown away. Now, moldy bread was probably thrown out to the chickens or pigs, but any odd leftover bread was saved. Leftover bread was most often used for bread pudding. (Remember the bread pudding at Johnnie’s Café?) Bread was also dried to be used later as bread crumbs or stuffing bread. It seems that all older homemakers had a bag of dried bread stored somewhere. The fun...
Rather than viewing the recent slight uptick in the economy and leveling off in the national debt as a harbinger of a positive future, John Snow believes it is diverting national attention from the debt crises that continues to pose a mortal threat to out country. Snow, who served as U.S. secretary of the Treasury from 2003 to 2006, delivered a lecture sponsored by the Burton K. Wheeler Center earlier this month on the campus of Montana State University in Bozeman. The lecture hall was filled to capacity. I wish all Montanans– in fact, all A...
If your roof leaks, you blame the builder. If your car has a defect, you blame the manufacturer. If your horse bucks you, off you blame the saddle maker. If the dam develops a leak, you plug it. You don’t make the hole bigger. These thoughts and a lot more like them are running rampant through this 70-year-old brain. (Although I was told just this morning that I must have had my “wisdom” teeth pulled”). This government shutdown has me in a dither trying to figure what diabolical scheme the government has in mind to implement whilst our thinkin...
Dear Editor: The headline ("No Driver's License Required? St. Marie Man Makes His Case") of the Oct. 9 edition of The Glasgow Courier should make every law abiding citizen of Valley County mad as hell. Really, Mr. Lee? I don’t know where you came from, but every state requires a driver’s license to operate a motorized vehicle on public roadways. Montana is not unique! Perhaps you should consider a move to Somalia, where lawlessness is the way of life. Joan McKeown St. Marie...

This past weekend Wolf Point came to town to take on the Glasgow Scotties. Not only was it Senior Night for the Scottie cheerleaders, football players, cross country runners and football managers, but it was also a night Glasgow pummeled the Wolves, 58-6, and continued its winning ways. “The main concern I had going into the game after such a convincing win over the Malta Mustangs was continuing to have sharp execution for passing, staying mentally focused, and not to be sloppy in any parts of the game,” head coach Greg Liebelt said. The Sco... Full story
