Editor, Our present lives as humans on earth are filled with increasing chaos, confusion about life, and our development of advanced methods of killing each other. This threatens our continuing human existence on planet earth. There is a powerful answer to all this - it involves the ‘power of the mind. We humans have been gifted with minds. Our minds are not “of the body.” Minds transcend the body and have the ability to connect with universal wisdom. Jesus, as a human, was a perfect example of a person practicing the teachings of universal wisdom. We have a choice each moment. We can either think, speak, and act from an ‘ego-based’ thought system invo...
Editor, When I read of Tester’s latest expenditure of my tax dollars it is just too much. Now he has a bill for veterans exposed to burn pits. You’ve got to be kidding me. There is no end to this blowhard’s PR stunts. There isn’t one rock, however small, that this guy won’t t...
Editor, From the simplest bathroom to the fanciest, these two suggestions are applicable: Number one: Leave things where you found them. Number two: Don’t flush heavy papers. Gene Johnson Polson
Editor, Having been an active supporter of the Water Compact, I am very pleased with the appointments to the Water Management Board. Lake County commissioners nominated and our Governor appointed individuals with strong water law and hydrological backgrounds. So did the CSKT. During the board’s f...
Editor, I wish I was smarter than I am but since I keep being ineffective at initiating change maybe I should become a politician. For years we keep re-electing the same Lake County Commissioners despite the fact they have told us they don’t have a jail solution problem. They voice the same yearl...
Editor, Prior to adopting an anti-vaxx attitude in 1974, I personally ‘respected’ the vaccine concept. What did I know as a child? Being routinely jabbed by the insistence of the public schools was commonplace acceptance. The current maniacal tyrannical bullying of getting jabbed with an irrat...
Editor, Around lunchtime on Saturday, Jan. 29, I decided to take 7 kids (all under 11 years old) sledding at Riverside Park in Polson. What would be better on a nice winter day? While I stood by a tree, someone from 110 or 114 4th Ave West apartments shot me in the leg with a bb gun. I knew it was a bb an...
Editor, Since the last feral cat article, I have learned there are four in-city Polson feral colonies. I maintain only one I call “the magic 30.” I can only hope kind people are feeding these cold and starving animals. My magic 30 are as diet-spoiled as any house cat – and they deserve i...
Editor, To those independent voters out there - in spite of the effect any of these letters have on our area politics and leadership, it is you who put people into office. This is what we are told by historical journalists who don’t have a side other than finding out why something occurs. No poli...
Editor, A Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) report in 2020 determined that 35% of our river miles and 22% of our lake acres are impaired by harmful levels of nutrients. The fact is, these figures do not even include waters being polluted by industrial waste from coal fired power plant oper...
