Letters to the Editor

Those who serve are true patriots

Editor, “How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes.” (Maya Angelou) Memorial Day is coming up. My father flew an Air Force C-47 delivering supplies to troops across the Aleutian Chain in Alaska. I lost one brother too soon due to exposure to Agent Orange while serving on a Navy sub in Vietnam (hatch lookout). Another brother, a Navy pilot, flew a C-130 in Vietnam and later in Antarctica. One uncle fought the Fascists in Italy; another was a full Colonel in the Air Force. My husband, a lieutenant in the Army, served as an instructor of leadership skills. Women and men friends have served as well. I honor them all. I wish politicians wo...


Positive news important too

Editor, This morning, May 9, at 7 a.m., I was tuned into MSNBC and “Morning Joe”. Hillary Clinton was being interviewed. Hillary was born in 1947 and served as Secretary of State in the Obama administration. She continues as a politician and diplomat. The subject being discussed was the presen...


Attitude healing in regards to politics needed

Editor, A brief assessment on our national confusion I term “Trumpism.” This is the human nature attitude and behavior involving anger, fear, attack and blaming others for your own problems. The challenges we face in life are certainly not a new phenomenon. I name it “Trumpism” ...

Jacinda Morigeau is right choice for Senate District 46

Editor, I am excited to support Jacinda Morigeau for Senate District 46.  As an enrolled member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes, Morigeau is committed to fighting for everyday Montanans. She grew up in Arlee, attended K-12 schools there and is dedicated to her community and Western ...


Thanks to all who helped with Earth Day Expo 2024

Editor, The Flathead Valley Citizens’ Climate Lobby Earth Day Expo team would like to thank the Flathead Valley community for making this year’s event a success. Through the support of the whole community we gathered for hands-on learning and conversations on nurturing our environment and stre...


Hamas should get nothing

Editor, In 1948 Israel was recognized as their own state. Immediately the Arab nations attack them. With the Lord’s help, Israel won. According to the rules of war, Israel now owns these lands, but let the people stay.  Then Hamas moves into Gaza. You’re telling me the people living in...


Water availability tied to climate change, not management

Editor, April 2nd brought us another letter from another lakeshore owner who feels the government agency that oversees how our lake’s dam has been mismanaged points out the obvious. Of course someone as self-centered as a governmental agency (federal to boot) is more concerned with adhering to re...
