There’s a big debate raging here locally. It concerns getting rid of lake trout (mackinaw) in Flathead Lake in order to provide a home for bull trout and cutthroat. The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribe has proposed gill-netting 150,000 lake trout per year to reduce the large population in the ...
Editor, After reading a letter in your opinion pages regarding Janna Taylor’s “environmental rating” with a couple of Montana environmental groups, I felt compelled to respond. Seems as though she received very low ratings from two conservation groups. I am a relative newcomer to Mont...
Editor, I do not want to believe Mr. John Swenson, but I feel that he may very well be correct. Remember, our country has an out-of-control national deficit with a number that exceeds normal comprehension. And I know that the interest rate on this loan compiles every minute.

Editor, I knew the Printz Ranch before it belonged to Mr. Printz. It was neat, clean and green. Now it is covered with garbage and scrap metal — barbed wire, auto bodies and so forth. I hear that all of the horses have been removed. What is Lake County going to do to keep Mr. Printz from getting m...
Editor, Head injuries are a concern for all parents of children who play sports. It’s important to me to feel that my children’s coaches are well-informed about head injuries and consider their long-term health and well-being the highest priority. I would like to acknowledge the Montana Youth ...
Editor, With all due respect to my neighbor, Carol Cummings, I am writing to disagree with her premise that the “War on Women” is not real (letters, April 11). Historically, there has always been a war on women. Women had to fight to earn the right to vote in the early 20th Century. They had t...
