I moved to Switzerland earlier this year from Polson, and I’ve been somewhat captivated by the fascinating and long history of Europe. Many incredibly consequential and cascading events have been packed into this relativity small continent, across the millennia. While chatting with a friend and fellow history buff, he mentioned how watchmaking didn’t originate in Switzerland. This piqued my interest and led me down a research rabbit hole to this amazing story. Switzerland is well known for outstanding chocolate, famous cheeses and luxury watches. For centuries, this little mountainous nation has cultivated a reputation for crafting some of the best mechanical timepieces in th...
Are there walleye in heaven? As weird as it may sound, this is a question I’ve pondered lately. I’m willing to take a bet that very few reading this have thought about walleye (as in the fish) being in heaven. But you aren’t the daughter of my dad. For those not familiar with walleye, th...

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...
Dear governors, thank you for your leadership in response to this unprecedented health crisis and the action your administrations have taken to prevent the outbreaks of COVID-19 in nursing homes and assisted living communities to protect our residents and dedicated caregivers. However, with the majo...
We’d been taking care of our granddaughter during the weekdays since September, and although getting up early in the morning to care for her was a bit of a yawn, our dear granddaughter was anything but. We thought we’d have her with us until the end of May. We sort of thought we’d ...
Editor, As a proud gun owner and sportsman, the most important thing I consider before supporting any candidate is if I can count on them to defend our Second Amendment rights from the barrage of attacks from the socialist-left and their allies in the media. Matt Rosendale is a fellow gun owner, ...
Editor, It is critical that our lone representative in Congress be a voice for the voiceless and stand up for the most vulnerable in our society — especially the unborn. Matt Rosendale has a long track record of being unabashedly pro-life. In the Montana legislature, he was a vocal advocate for p...
Editor, To the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribal Council: After reading page two of the June 25 edition of the Char-Koosta News that explains how the COVID-19 relief funds allocated to our tribe are going to be distributed, I became quite alarmed as an elder of the tribe. I was shocke...
