By The Evolution Of Businesses
Driving in the business section in our town of Glasgow, I find it sad to see all of the businesses that have closed over the years, and it made me think of all of the businesses Glasgow used to have in days gone by. Of course, during the days of the...
Letters To The Editor
Dear Editor, It all started on a Tuesday with a high fever and then dry, hacking cough. The next day I was tested, and several days later found out I was positive for COVID-19. During the next week of stay-at-home/quarantine, the cough, fever and los...

Letters To The Editor
Dear Editor, As a lifelong resident of V.C. (with the exception of a couple of years spent in the State of Missouri) I was appalled by the communities’ reaction to a Halloween costume. A costume that must have been a good one to win first place in...
Letters To The Editor
Dear Editor, A cold snap in October is not unusual in Montana. No big deal, right? That is, until you consider all your neighbors who struggle daily to make ends meet, pay their bills and keep their homes warm. The vast majority of us don’t think...

Letters To The Editor
Dear Editor, I take serious offense to the Glasgow Courier November 4, 2020 headline “Community Hopes For Change After KKK Costume.” Really? The Courier seems anxious for a comment from somebody so let me give them one. And for clarity, let me...
Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, Silence is complicity, so I cannot morally stay silent in regards to what Luke Morehouse refers to as an “innocent” costume he wore on Halloween night. It’s incomprehensible that a 36-year-old man would actually believe that most w...
Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, My name is Becky Anderson, and I would like to address the story printed in your paper on November 4, 2020 regarding the “KKK” costume controversy. I find it quite astonishing how the title of the article: “Community Hopes For...
Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, This week home feels like it is located in the middle of everything rather than the middle of nowhere. I found myself angry when I first saw the photo shared on Facebook of Luke Morehouse dressed in a KKK costume—and then a wave of con...
Letters to the Editor

Finding Perspective And Better Life Balance
Dear Editor, Let's just admit it: 2020 has been a real challenge. It all seemed to happen right around the time when we reset clocks in mid-March. Now, as we prepare for the end of daylight saving tim...

Dear Editor, Earlier this year, I joined two Montana families at the United States Supreme Court. I went to hear the oral arguments for a landmark case very relevant to the State of Montana. The case...
Circle Diamond Cowboys
According to an old ballad, “Saturday night” was the loneliest night of the week.” Not so for the Circle Diamond cowboys. After their once-a-week bath, either in a creek during the heat of summer days or with a tub full of water heated on the...
USPS Causing Medication Delays
Dear Editor, I'm a veteran, and through the VA Health Care System in Montana I'm able to get the care I need. Ninety percent of all medications prescribed through the VA are delivered via the USPS. I...

Sugar Beets
I am sure not many grow sugar beets in this area anymore. However, “back in the day,” there used to be sugar beet dumps at many of the rail depots, as well as dumps at most every side stop, all along the Milk River Valley. I think that growing...
