Editor, Coming from a family where no one could afford to attend college, my parents worked hard and instilled a strong desire in their children to seek an education. I was the first to attend college in our family and treasured the opportunity. Some Montanans have excellent public educational opportunities from preschool through college. The Montana state constitution even carries a mandate to develop the full educational potential of each citizen. We see this in action with Bozeman, Kalispell Glacier, and Whitefish high schools ranking top three in the state. Unfortunately, these schools still rank well below national standards. Our report card from Every Student Succeeds Act (ES...

Editor, I just finished watching a documentary that came out a couple of weeks ago – “The Cold Truth.” It was the very best I have seen. Regardless of your stance on global climate change, you need to watch this video. Just do a search using the keywords “The Cold Tr...
Editor, As I listen to the Left and Biden scream about climate change, the story about Chicken Little comes to mind. The Left is trying cause panic by claiming the “the sky is falling” when it comes to man-made climate change. Anyone that knows history knows that this is a great hoax. In the y...
Editor, Two years ago when the city was asked to approve the annexation of CSKT ground near the KOA for a new casino, our city manager publicly assured the concerned residents that water supply was not an issue.
