Timber supply problem not due to lawsuits or lack of timber

Published on Fri, 01/17/2020 - 4:00pm

Editor: Your front page article on RY Timber quotes RY manager Ed Regan asserting that “chronic timber supply problems” caused by lawsuits have forced the closure of the RY mill

Trumpistan

Editor:

The country we have known as the United States of America has become a rogue country with a rogue leader. The shining city on a hill grows dimmer day by day under this administration.

We have a leader who is ignorant of our history, disregards our Constitution, and shows contempt for half of our population. He has damaged relationships with every country on earth with the possible exception of Russia, Saudi Arabia, and North Korea. He is laughed at on the world stage.

Response to Dan Hammes column

Editor:

I’m writing to respond to your recent publication of Dan Hammes’ opinion titled, “Sex aside, this can’t be good.” Not only was this person’s opinion ignorant of the scientific facts that biological sex includes more than just the primary sexual characteristics in humans, but their inflammatory name-calling throughout their writing perpetuates the divisiveness which plagues our country.

A strong and caring community

Published on Fri, 01/03/2020 - 4:22pm

Editor:

This year I have been involved in many activities and attended many presentations. I have met many new persons who have recently moved to Livingston and Park County. When I ask them why they have moved here they say that it is because of the caring and strong community that is here. I have found them to be willing to share their talents and resources with us. Many of them have invested in businesses and nonprofits which enrich our lives. 

Recognition for former Park High athlete Boucher is warranted

Published on Thu, 01/02/2020 - 2:37pm

Editor: 

Recently the Billings Gazette has included an article in serial form over several weeks naming the “best” athlete from Montana communities from A to Z. My famous classmate, world-class sprinter Larry Questad, was the entry for Livingston — no doubt the best sprinter from Livingston. Earlier this week through a chance meeting at a barber shop in Laurel, I was introduced to 88-year-old Clarence (“CR”) Boucher, Park High School alum (class of 1950), who arguably could have been selected as a “best ever” athlete from Livingston. 

Let’s talk about Donald Trump and Christmas

Published on Mon, 12/23/2019 - 12:05am

Editor: I watched all of the impeachment hearings, and did not miss the remark the ranking member of the house and rules committee, Congressman Tim Cole, made about this impeachment

Judge me on my track record

Editor:

I’m writing in response to a letter last week that called into question my preparation to serve on the City Commission based on my performance at a pre-election candidate forum sponsored by AAUW.  To be fair to the writer, I agree with his unfavorable assessment of my performance that evening and wanted to offer some perspective.   

Letter writer, did you talk to Mel Friedman?

Published on Tue, 12/10/2019 - 4:52pm

Editor:

I am writing with a question for Mr. Robert Montoya, who wrote the vituperative letter about our Commissioner Mr. Mel Friedman. Did you talk with Mr. Friedman about your concerns? I have had numerous occasions over the years to communicate with Mr. Friedman, and I would like to assure Mr. Montoya that he will never find a better listener, a better or more kindly person than Mel Friedman to serve our community. It would have been a kindness on his part to call Mel Friedman and voice his concern, rather than writing such a letter.
