Dear Editor: My wife and I are traveling through Montana with our horses in a trailer with living quarters. When we came through Glasgow (the week of June 16), we were having a difficult time finding somewhere to stall or pasture our horses overnight. When my wife contacted Shady Rest, the lady manager offered to call the fairgrounds to check on availability. By the time we arrived, she had made arrangements and we went straight there where we were met by Whitney,a very pleasant and helpful young lady who immediately went to work helping us to...

Dear Editor: I am shocked and disappointed, by the events that have occurred at the shooting range south of Saco.

Have you considered that the majority of the roads that tra... Full story

We also recognize that you didn’t allow a little cold weather to send you back to the warm shop on a few those nasty days. For anyone unfamiliar with this new structure, it is worth taking a look – very impr... Full story
I recently had an annual physical appointment with the VA in Billings. When I was about halfway to Billings, I received a call from the VA that my appointment had been unavoidably cancelled. I was re-scheduled for a week later. I went on to Billings, as I had made additional arrangements because of the scheduled physical. These two trips incurred over 1,200 travel miles. I’ve spoken with other vets in our area who have been forced to drive to Billings or Miles City or Fort Harrison in Helena for various medical needs. We have the new clinic f... Full story
