On Saturday, Oct. 6, at 2 p.m., the biological daughters of Valley County Sheriff’s candidate Joseph Horn, Amy Brown and Gail Hayes, held a forum to discuss their opposition to their father for Valley County Sheriff.

Dear Editor, I-185 will address problems: Mental Health. Drug Abuse. The State of Montana has a real need for more mental health providers/therapists. At times Montana has citizens that need help- be that in times of flood, or drought, or cancer, or fire, or Alzheimer’s, or with personal behavioral health issues. In a perfect world we solve our own, but now is a time to help. I-185 will positively affect the economy of our Montana through job creation, fewer emergency room visits, fewer jail inmates, fewer tobacco health problems, lower i...
Dear Editor, It is my understanding that a sheriff needs more skills in management than in law enforcement. According to Dan Taylor, who was a sheriff here for many, many years, a good sheriff has to be able to manage the jail, dispatch, civil department, coroner, search and rescue, and is an officer of the District Court. True Joe Horn has 27 years law enforcement experience, but when in the Sept. 19 Courier the question was asked of him, what is the largest budget you have been in charge of, Horn said he’s never been in charge of a budget, e...
Dear Editor, Having been a volunteer, low-level party officer, campaign worker and financial contributor through numerous campaigns for at least 30 years, I am usually vocal and enthusiastic regarding election season. However, when considering Montana's Federal, State and County campaigns this year, it appears to me that election day is only a formality with results already determined in some cases with candidates bowing, scraping and licking the stylish sandals of the tourism, recreation, environmental and real estate lobbies if not avoiding...
Dear Editor, I attended the public forum held by Joe Horn’s biological daughters, Amy Horn-Brown and Gail Horn-Hayes, at the Elks on Oct. 6. I did not attend as a representative of the Courier, nor am I writing this as a representative of the Courier; these are my personal thoughts and feelings. Although I hope that people reading this will trust my sincerity and respect my opinions, I am fully aware that I am opening myself up to name-calling and derision from certain members of the community. I am a lifelong resident of Valley County and I c...

Dear Editor, During the past couple years I have had the opportunity to attend many cross country meets. I love attending Scottie sporting events and cheering for ALL Scottie athletes. Cross country is a sport I never thought of attending nor did I think I would enjoy watching. However, the cross country kids have shown me something I have never witnessed in a sport. They are more than a team; they are a family. It doesn’t matter if you’re the first, second, or last runner across the finish line. It is certain that their teammates will be the...

Finally, we are enjoying some Indian summer. I wasn't sure if that was an allowed expression any longer, or if we'd gotten so P.C. that the term should now be "Native American summer," so I looked it up. Wikipedia still lists the term, described as "a period of unseasonably warm, dry weather that sometimes occurs," usually "following a period of cooler weather or frost in the late autumn." The first known recording of the phrase came from Letters From an American Farmer, in 1778, by J. H. St....

"We couldn't complete any of our mid-to-long drives." The second...
