Dear Editor, After reading Ms. Sarah Hitchcock's letter to the editor in the Dec. 2, 2020, Courier, I must say I will agree to disagree. I understand Ms. Hitchcock's stance on the paramount importance of individual liberty in America, and her argument is well-articulated. I was also curious about the Danish study cited in her letter and looked it up online. What I learned is that there are many nuances in what the study was and was not designed to measure, and scientists' opinions differed as...
Dear Editor, I was in a restaurant eating when a person entered through a door with a sign stating masks required. The person left slamming the door and cursing. Later three entered but just left when told to put on a mask. Their decision. How bad can it be to wear a mask till you are served. They are not always comfortable but you will survive. You may save someone from sickness. One doesn't always know when they are infected. Think about all the many workers who take the chance of illness to...
Dear Editor, It was with much interest that I read the letter by Sarah Hitchcock concerning the wearing of masks. I will definitely give her credit for one statement, she has a right to not wear a mask on her own property or in her own house. When she is out on public property or public businesses where others are too, she does not have the right to endanger their health or my health by failing to protect us from what could be a death sentence. It appears that the reason for wearing a mask is...
Dear Editor, Sarah Hitchcock used some very fine words to announce her choice to not wear a mask. Concerning the Danish study, it would be wise to fact check the study, which was not done, to make an argument against masks, which it did not do. Denmark is currently recommending the use of face masks. I am not a scientist so I will abide by the advice given by the CDC, Dr. Fauci, Dr. Bell, epidemiologists and our county health department. This is my choice. Wearing a mask gives limited...
The Valley CARE Coalition proudly presents stories from Valley County residents who have struggled, continue to struggle, or have found peace surrounding mental health, substance use disorders, or behavioral health. Battling this is a symbol of strength and courage and should be highlighted as such. My postpartum journey was a struggle from the beginning to say the least. I had envisioned, like many new moms, coming home with a bubbly snuggly baby and being so excited to finally hold them, feel fulfilled, overwhelming joy...I had a fairytale...

Last week, one of my many plants unsuccessfully attempted harakiri by flinging itself off the top of the baker’s rack. Sitting in the living room, we heard a loud crash from the breakfast nook. Alarmed, I hurried to check it out. A green vine had jumped three and a half feet from the top of the baker’s rack turned plant stand/catch all. There was plant soil everywhere, and parts of the vine were broken off. It was a mess. After uprighting the vine, I scooped up the soil as best I could by hand and tamped it back into the cracked plastic pot...
Yesterday’s Memories COMPILED BY GWENDOLYNE HONRUD 10 Years Ago Wednesday, Dec. 1, 2010 Nick Kolstad loves the outdoors, and fills his drawings and paintings with wildlife images.

But because he had Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a progressive degeneration of the muscles, he uses a wheelchair and he can’t hunt in the woods any more. Last week, a lot of volunteers came together and granted Nick the wish he applied for two years ago through the United Special Sportsman Alliance. On Friday he...

It’s that time of year when ice anglers and other recreationists will be heading out to Montana’s “hard” waters for the winter season. Everyone needs to be safe around ice, whether ice fishing, ice skating, hunting, snowmobiling, or just taking a walk. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks reminds folks that safety should be the number one concern during a day out on (or near) the ice. And when on the ice, remember: Anglers and other recreationists should be familiar with the water body they plan to fish or recreate on. The safest folks are those w...
