I’m a veteran. Senator Daines does not represent me on health care. His support for repealing the Affordable Care Act will be disastrous for Montana veterans. Since passage of the […]

With thanks to Donna Gibney, here are some suggestions: • Breathe before we speak: We all have prejudices and preferences, but knee-jerk reactions, though sometimes satisfying to us, shut out […]

Well, here we go again. I’m part of the majority of Americans who didn’t vote for Donald J. Trump for president in 2016. But I think I’m a patriot and […]

I just read that congress is looking for 12-15 billion dollars to fund Trump’s wall. It’s hard not to imagine both senators and representatives scouring the Capitol on hands and […]

I am the Sales Manager for Remote Power Systems of Stevensville. We have been serving Montana home and business owners with solar, wind, and other energy products for over 14 […]

By Karen Harvey, Victor   Like many of you, when I sit down to read the paper or watch TV and hear the words of “Government Budget Cuts” my initial […]

I read in the paper that one McAdams is trying to stir up racism by talking about a few people he believes to be white supremacists. I don’t hear him […]

After reading Marty Essen’s factless, ranting diatribe (Bitterroot Star, January 18) concerning President elect Trump, I had to respond to his inaccurate statements. First, let’s consider his statement that Obama […]

Several years ago, when a (rather quiet) announcement was made that a revised site for a proposed electric substation would be considered during a Stevensville Town Council meeting, I attended […]

The Bitterroot is blessed to be surrounded by wildlands, making this a uniquely rich place to live. The blessings that flow from wildlands are hard to fully appreciate and easily […]

Are you going to watch — participate in — Mr. Trump’s inauguration? I’m not. I don’t have a TV and wouldn’t watch it if I did, but what to do […]

Flash back to the year 2000. George W. Bush became president of the United States with the help of Florida Governor Jeb Bush and a politically motivated, right-leaning Supreme Court. […]

Star Editorial by Michael and Victoria Howell   Nearly everyone agrees that the river access at the Stevensville bridge could use some improvement. With limited public access along the length […]

The Capp Family proposal to swap 3.6 acres (plus 1.2 acres along the Eastside highway) is a very bad idea and certainly not in the best interests of the community […]

I am appalled at two signatories of the letter “My Fellow Americans” from Montana’s leaders (printed in Missoulian Dec. 27). Daines and Zinke and nearly every Republican never disavowed Trump’s […]

Think back to the teachers who helped you become who you are today and then ask yourself, “Would they have been able to help me as much if they had […]

Citizens access our National Forests for a wide variety of reasons. My attitude is that it’s all good, no matter what your recreational interests are. The important thing is that […]
