  • Face-to-Face with the Enemy 50 Years after Pearl Harbor

    Frank and Lin Vargo, Special to The Courier|Dec 15, 2021

    Tuesday, Dec. 7, 2021 was the 80th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack. Hard to believe that for us, it was 30 years ago and many of the "players" of this event are now gone. However, this is how one story unfolded on the 50th anniversary of that date, 1991, as it was told to us... Lin and I were having supper with Richard Fiske at the Chart House, Honolulu, Hawaii, as we had done on many occasions. But this time, it was a few days before the 50th anniversary of the, not to be opprobrious, "J...

  • Remember When

    Gwen Cornwell, Special to The Courier|Dec 15, 2021

    Our meat processing plants work long and hard hours during the big game season keeping all of their customers happy. Thinking of meat processing brings the Old Austin’s Packing Plant to mind. For those of you that do not remember, this sat on the west bank of the Milk River next to the river bridge on the Tampico Hiway, and was owned and operated, of course, by Mr. Alvin Austin. They, Mr. Austin and crew, would process your cattle, hogs & sheep with precision! Mr Austin would also buy animals from local people. (Probably no feedlots at that t...

  • Medicare Advantage Plans vs Original Medicare

    Lisa Baxter, Special to The Courier|Dec 15, 2021

    I get many questions about Medicare Advantage Plans(MA). When I ask people why they are asking about them, most are saying it is because they had recently seen an advertisement on TV, received a post card in the mail or say something like my friend who lives in Billings has one and loves it. What generally is catching their attention is Advantage Plans saying they have zero premium, pay back part of their part B premium or say they cover dental, vision and hearing. If it sounds too good to be true, often it is! A Medicare Advantage Plan is anot... Full story

  • Colder Than A Witch's Cellphone

    Richard Noble, Special to The Courier|Dec 15, 2021

    It’s cold outside, because we live in Montana and that’s part of the tradeoff for doing so. I distinctly remember the first time the dashboard of my car said -40º, and the disbelief from the non-Glasgow friends I’d sent the photo to. “It must be broken” they said, refusing to accept that life could exist in such conditions. But what actually happens when our favorite electronics are subjected to the bitterness of our winter wonderland? How cold is too cold to snap a quick snow selfie? Rather helpfully, manufacturers will typically make clear...
