By Marc & Helen Sabin, Corvallis This is in response to Kris Bayer’s letter on “Majority rules?” published in the Wednesday, April 7 edition of the Bitterroot Star.

Questioning Biden Administration
By Susan McCreary, Stevensville I have to question what is really going on with the Biden Administration allowing uncontrolled illegal aliens into the U.S. of A. William Henry Frey, who graduated from Ursinus College in 1969 with a B.A. degree (Ursinus College is a private liberal arts college in Collegeville, Pennsylvania), and from Brown University in […]
Unity and censorship
By Jerry Esmay, Stevensville Time for another letter. This time I want to address the subjects of “unity” and “censorship”. Let’s see how the new President’s promise to seek unity in our country has played out so far. In my opinion, completely negative. He has criticized everything President Trump did and then turns around and […]
How about a wheel hoe for your garden?
By Charles E. Wissenbach, Pinesdale Know about them? They’re coming back so why not learn? Seventy-five years ago, Chucky (that’s me, Charles), wheel-hoed for grandparents. Today Chucky won’t garden without wheel hoes. They work like light wheelbarrows, soil-working tools suspended underneath. Gramp’s tools still fit but now there’s terrific weed-slicing hula-hoe tools.

My wife and I were […]
Our amazing Mr. President
America give him credit, our president is absolutely fantastic! Terrific worker: Does more work than a whole army of socialists. Collaborative: With others he transforms the solemn constitutional impeachment into a political drama-fake news replaces sworn testimony. Loyal: protects and enhances D.C. Swamp like a top duty of his office. Squeaky-clean: Scorns winning office via […]
House bills bad idea
It is with great sadness that I write this letter having learned that the House Fish, Wildlife and Parks committee is advancing HB224 and 225 which, if passed, will result in the torture and killing of more wolves and other wildlife species, some of whom are endangered species. These bills extend the trapping season and […]
