Editor, We’ve seen so many grumpy and sad faces the last several months; it was a tremendous pleasure to see so many happy and smiling faces at the Mission Mountain Enterprise annual picnic at Boettcher Park last Thursday. We’d like to thank executive director Lauren Oliver and all her administrative staff for organizing and putting on the party, which included games, clown performances, picture taking and good food. Our son has been a client of MME for over 10 years. The client population encompasses a wide variety of intellectual and developmental disabilities, and in our experience, the staff works hard to meet the needs of at times can be a very challenging c...
Editor, I am writing to encourage fellow Montanans to cast their vote for an outstanding candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives, Kathleen Williams. Williams served three terms in the Montana House, and while there, she was instrumental in passing bipartisan expansion of Medicaid, s...
Editor, First, I have to admit, I am aware of our predominant area political bias and have been for a long time. But, I am continually amazed that the bias seems, now, to have overshadowed the ideals of what America should represent, as spoken since 1942: “truth, justice, and the American way.&rdquo...
Editor, Trump’s approach to the administration of this pandemic focuses on himself and his reelection, not on the needs of the people or the country, and such self-preoccupation has never been admired by the people of Montana, who tend to be generous, practical and helpful to others. Our pr...
Editor, I find it incomprehensible that David Passieri writes a letter to your newspaper touting the notion that “COVID-19 is simply a spiritual battle that must be confronted.” I agree that it needs to be confronted, but he doesn’t elaborate on how we might bring down the curre...
Editor, It has been over a decade since Howard Dean admitted why there was not one word of tort reform in “ObamaCare.” It had everything to do with money grubbing by trial lawyers. Thanks to the Democrats and Steve Bullock, this glaring fault in Obama’s efforts to nationalize our h...
Editor, The past five months have been a little rough on my sister, who’s sequestered at St. Joseph Assisted Living in Polson. Sure, she receives three meals a day and lots of love and care from the staff. But those ingredients that help make life worth living – independence, affection, ...
Editor, As research is gathered about COVID-19 pandemic, a sobering finding is that many people who get the disease will have health problems long after they have recovered from the infection. Many will have kidney damage, heart tissue damage or lung damage. COVID-19 can be much more than a two-week...
Editor, A great big thank you to U.S. Veteran Dr. Rashid Buttar, M.D., and Dr. Pam Popper, naturopath, for expertly and courageously making it clear that the current SARS-2/CoVid-19 pandemic scare is truly a spiritual battle that must be confronted. As Americans, we embrace being free agen...
Editor, Last time I wrote to our wonderful Lake County, it was June 14th and we had 600 cases of COVID-19 in Montana, but that was a jump from 461 cases on June 1st. At the time, I referred to this growth as exponential or rapid growth, but that word should have been reserved for the change we’ve...
