By Lake Como Orchard Estates, Homeowners, Darby On Easter Sunday morning our community experienced what could have been a major tragedy due to a very fast moving and wind driven fire in our rural area.  The fire was quickly burning its way closer to our homes. First to arrive on the scene were the Darby Volunteer Fire […]

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.    The Bitterroot Star published my letter of March 31, regarding the importance of voting for school board trustees and the recognition that a strong education, from whatever […]

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 […]

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 […]

Of course you should welcome our new, fraudulently elected president who has declared war on the NRA.  Remember now, our […]

The recent letter to the editor using the term “stupid” regarding the poor organization of the local hospital’s covid vaccination process was beyond the definition of showing a lack of great intelligence or common sense both in appreciation for the difficult task and the language used to describe it.    My wife and I were […]

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 […]

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 […]
