Pedestrians asked to be careful  Editor,   Have you ever almost hit a pedestrian while driving? I have and I hope you never do. It scared me to think that I could have injured or killed a person. It was horrifying. I was driving to work early one dark-winter morning on a snow-covered road in Lake County. I was concentrating on an oncoming car. The snow magnified the headlight glare from both cars.  When the road is covered with snow, it is difficult to tell where the middle and edge of the road are. I was watching the car to make sure I was far enough away from the middle of the road for us to pass safely. As the car came closer to passing, I suddenly caught ...

Editor,   President Trump seems to be ramping up his base towards a nasty revolution if he is either impeached or loses the next election. It seems prudent that we talk openly about this possibility, given Trump’s rants, language, rallies and behavior. There are many people in our nation who...

Editor,  Strong public schools are the cornerstone of a successful community. Whether or not you work for the school or have a child in the district, our entire community is better when the quality of education is improved across the board. Improvements that will be made from the passage of both Pols...

Editor, I have been a member of the Polson community for over 40 years and have been impressed by the positive support shown for our school system.   When I came to Polson as a teacher in 1976, our high school was just two years old, the old high school was our middle school, the Lincoln building ...
