Letters to the Editor
Editor, I also noticed nobody filed to represent Ward 2 in the coming election and now see 2 candidates. I do not live in Ward 2 however I recognize the importance of the group working together for the good of the community as a whole. One man and one woman are candidates. One offers us his time of structured leadership and One offers her time of working with local community boards. The he hails from California, the she spent her childhood in Butte and was raised and worked in communities more similar to ours. His work was in structured militaristic organizations, oddly enough mine was strikingly similar. I left that 20 years ago, came here and am happy to be a part of the communit...

Editor, I read with interest Carlene Vey’s letter about the proposed subdivision on the 130 acres owned by DNB Development out of California. I get the impression around here that there is not much oversight by the county planning department or our county commissioners who just see dollar signs and ...
Editor, There is an empowering answer to what our nation is going through right now. It involves each of us. Our present political divide has caused our democracy to be in peril. We each have a role in healing this divide. Our democracy offers each of us the opportunity to contribute in some appropriat...
Editor, One year ago, I submitted a letter to the editor in which the first paragraph was this: “Our nation is presently going through a very present political crisis. This crisis is a clear example of the outworking of our human frailties. These frailties involve anger, attack, and blaming others f...
Editor, I was thrilled to read the article on the 2023 Parliament of World Religions in your Sept. 6 issue. I was fortunate to attend this gathering in Chicago this year, as well as the 2018 Parliament in Toronto. The work being done year round, across the globe, by communities and by the leaders of world...
