  • Christmas Tree Hunting in Custer National Forest

    Frank and Lin Vargo, Special to The Courier|Dec 8, 2021

    Over the river (Milk river) and through the woods, (Custer National Forest) to harvest a Christmas tree we will go, well you get the idea. Our family went to the BLM office in Glasgow, and for a mere fin, (Five bucks) you can pick up a harvest permit to cut your own Christmas tree. We did it every year and it is a family tradition for us and several others that we meet in Zortman, Montana. It is a very beautiful area where you can pick out your own personal tree. However, be forewarned it is...

  • Cumber's Corner

    Tracy Cumber, Special to The Courier|Dec 8, 2021

    My last day with USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service was on October 29, 2021. The decision to retire wasn't easy especially because I enjoyed working with all of you. Valley County is an agricultural community consisting of people who are committed, honorable and extremely proud. Valley County is where I call home and hope my son will someday as well. I wanted to touch base and share an idea I have been working on for a bit. The thought of offering information that might help in the...

  • Nuts! If You Prefer More Recipes...

    Mary Honrud, Special to The Courier|Dec 8, 2021

Granted, they do create green spaces in my house, but that doesn’t begin to compare to seeding, weeding, and harvesting a garden or doing yard work. Since watering plants indoors can’t be stretched to fill a column, I’m throwing more recipes at you. None of the ones I shared last week have yet been made but I’m still planning to. But that means these new ones I made need to be eaten to free up freezer space. I’m sure...

    The weather is changing, you've gifts to wrap, events to plan. This time of year is a busy one for a lot of us, but what's this? A holiday gift from Microsoft? It's time once again to lose your desktop shortcuts, re-learn how to bring up the calculator and be angry that your accounting software doesn't work any more. Yes indeed, let's collectively unwrap a brand new version of the operating system we all love to hate. Merry Christmas, we got you Windows 11. It's so easy to be cynical about...

  • What Happens After You Leave the Hospital Post-COVID-19?

    Kristin Inbody, Benefis Health System|Dec 8, 2021

    GREAT FALLS - For Charles Lee in Room 609 at Benefis Health System, the road home to Malta and back to good health will require extra help for his lungs. He, like many COVID-19 patients, will need supplemental oxygen – a demand that is creating a worldwide shortage. Before the pandemic, Benefis Community Care employees had an average of 4.5 home oxygen setups a week. A typical setup includes an oxygen concentrator and eight tanks. During the week of Oct. 17, the number of setups reached a new hi... Full story
