Blue Devils continue to win

October 12, 2017 by Editor

The Corvallis Blue Devils volleyball team are concentrating on one match at a time according to coach Kasey Arceniega. With this goal in mind, they are working on playing  tougher defense, being more scrappy by not letting any balls hit the floor, and playing tough offense.   “Defensively, we’ve develop a lot more this year,” […]

October 12, 2017 by Guest Post

Questioning commitment

October 12, 2017 by Guest Post

First, thanks to the Bitterroot Star et al for hosting last Thursday’s Candidates Forum.  You provided a terrific opportunity for Stevensville residents to hear from those running for Mayor and Council.

Trump deserves our support

October 12, 2017 by Guest Post

Once again I find myself wondering if some of the most vehement anti-Trumpeters hear what I hear. President Trump has stated repeatedly that he is for the middle class, wants to bring back our manufacturing, increase employment, lower taxes for everyone and make our dealings with other nations more equitable.   Must we be reminded […]

Don’t be a ‘Dumpty’

October 12, 2017 by Guest Post

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty could not decide which way to fall.   Do not be a “Dumpty” sitting on the wall by not voting for mayor or council people in this election. We, the people, need people who will make decisions that benefit the people, not just a select few.   […]

Thanks, Town of Stevensville

October 12, 2017 by Guest Post

Following a forty+ year career in public employment, with the majority of that time spent in public works operations, maintenance, and construction, I am fully aware what a thankless task it can be. So when the Stevensville public works staff led by Ed Sutherlin and the city’s administration under Mayor Crews made the effort to […]
