Landscaping efforts appreciated

Editor, Have you noticed that property owners along Highway 93 through Polson are keeping those strips of grass neatly mowed and the shrubbery cared for? And thanks to Mayor Pat and her husband Dennis Devries, the traffic island at the intersection of Highways 93 and 35 is now clean and tidy because they ...

Change must come from ground up

Editor, I just returned from two weeks in Wisconsin, where I was visiting family and attending alumni functions at Beloit College, my alma mater, class of 1953. My first day of travel to Wisconsin was Tuesday, June 5, the primary election day. The hugely big news in Wisconsin, of course, was the recall...

Peace dog gets new look

Editor, Hi, my name is Sophie. I am Polson’s official “peace dog,” who sits with my Standing for Peace folks every Monday at the Lake County courthouse lawn. My mom and friends hold up signs. Cars go by honking, people smiling and waving. It is very exciting for me. I wanted to tell yo...

Religion shouldn’t promote hate

Editor, I am writing in response to last week’s letter entitled “Same-sex marriage rewrites Bible.” First and foremost, I find it sadly ironic that the author poses the question, “Who told you to rewrite the Bible?” to the Democratic party. Same-sex marriage is not a political...

This letter uses the bullying tactics commonly seen on an elementary playground: accusing, labeling, name-calling, blaming, and using loaded words. Wid...

Thanks for supporting pro-life initiative

Editor, On behalf of Montana’s Pro-Life Coalition I would like to express our sincere appreciation to those citizens who supported our November ballot initiative at the recent polling places across Montana; specifically, I am very grateful for the hundreds of people in Lake County who signed the pet...

Thanks for supporting pool

Editor, On behalf of Mission Valley Aquatics, we’d like to send a huge thank-you to the community members, especially Mike Roberts and Link and Ann Moderie, who supported the 80s dance party on June 8. Every little bit helps as we work toward our goal of opening a swimming pool. Deanna and Chris...

POLSON — Polson Education Association president Matt Bishop presented a request from Chris Bumgarner, who will be retiring from the Polson School system, for an extension of his retirement benefits at the June 12 school board meeting.  Bumgarner, a music teacher at Polson High School, will be a...
