Opinion: Christman recalls flood
The Great Flood of 1964 had a profound effect upon my life. In fact, in my stories of “Tales of a Misspent Youth,…
School shooting
Tragic as it is, the massacre of innocents in Newtown, Conn., is only the latest in an epidemic of killing sprees affecting America. Equally tragic, it will not be the last.
Big Mountain statue
To the skier on Big Mountain: I have considered your situation and your stated frustration with “having” to ski by the Statue of the Man on federal property. That fleeting moment, for you aren’t forced to stop, mus…
Motorized use rebuttal
In the Dec. 12 Hungry Horse News, Mr. Stephen Peters wrote, “The environmentalists and outfitters got their way, and we motorized users had no say ... What happened to the public lands for all of us to use?”
Motorized use
When the Rocky Mountain Heritage Act was penciled, why wasn’t ATVs and motorized vehicles included?
Choices
To die with dignity and choice is legal in Montana (and also in Washington and Oregon) if I am terminally ill, mentally competent and physically able to self-medicate.
West Glacier polling story
It has been incorrectly reported that the West Glacier polling place hadn’t returned their results card with the rest of their supplies. In the commotion of receiving the required items from the polling place and r…

Vote smart
Is it any wonder that people get disillusioned with politics? The many negative ads and nasty campaigns now on the airwaves and in print make us want it all to end, the sooner the better.
Supports Hill
It was obvious in the Oct. 27 governor’s debate that Montana citizens have a clear choice this election. They can select a governor who will protect the status quo without real reforms or Rick Hill, who desires to …
Supports Brown
Dee Brown, candidate for Senate District 2, is a straight shooter who will go to Helena with the best interests of North Valley residents in mind.
Supports Perry
Once in a while, a great friend will enter your life and become an important part of it. One of my best friends, Zac Perry, is running for the House District 3 seat that voters will decide on in a few short weeks.
Supports Hill
I know candidates for governor Rick Hill and Steve Bullock. Neither is nearly as bad a guy as their negative advertising makes them out to be. Both are good men, and we will do well by electing either one of them.
CROP walk
The fourth CROP Hunger Walk was a great success. We met and exceeded our $5,000 goal.
