Don’t vote for charlatan Trump

I just spent an hour watching Charlie Rose, because he had Mike Morrel, the former deputy director of the CIA, on his show. Mr. Morrel confirmed exactly what I think of Donald Trump. There are too many countries that fear we will come after them; if Trump should become president, we will!

Amateurish mural

Just for the record, I’m no fan of outdoor murals. Most of the ones I’ve seen in my travels are amateur vanity pieces that, unfortunately, last for decades, eventually fading and peeling in the hot sun. Worse yet, they assault the senses of those who know a professional piece of art when they see one.

Ham-handed response to fish kill

Monday’s lead story about the Yellowstone River whitefish kill sounded a couple of alarms regarding Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks’ reaction to the historic and lamentable event.

The first alarm was FWP’s cavalier hip-shooting about the cause of the fish kill. The initial kill reportedly happened on one side of the river in a specific stretch, prompting FWPs Regional Supervisor Sam Sheppard to conclude that no pollutants — thermal, chemical or otherwise — caused the kill.

The front page of The Enterprise on Friday, Aug. 12 made me smile. Three headlines give evidence that our little town cares, and is looking for opportunities to improve the lives of its residents:

1. “City addresses vacation rentals, growth policy updates” (kudos to the city commissioners for raising their voices on behalf of constituents concerned about affordable housing options)

Fence-sitters, don’t enable electing Hillary Clinton

I have a bone to pick with certain voters out there, and it’s not the ones that I don’t agree with but the fence-sitters, and you know who you are.

New mine CEO always there for employees, communities

We, the county commissioners of Lincoln County, were delighted to learn that John Shanahan will become the new president and CEO of Tintina Resources and will be back in Montana to move the development of the Black Butte Copper project along.

As city raises our water rates, it wastes large amounts of water

While at the city pool Wednesday, I observed a toilet in the women’s locker room flushing nonstop. When I discussed it with an employee, I was told that yes, they are aware of it, and yes, it had been going on all season.

In addition, I cannot tell you how many times over the years I have seen the sprinklers running full-blast at Rotary Park while it was raining (including just this week!)

Today’s 10 highest grossing box office releases are about animals, including: “Finding Dory,” “The Jungle Book,” “Zootopia,” “The Secret Life of Pets,” and “Kung Fu Panda.” Nearly half of our households include a dog and nearly 40 percent have a cat. Two-thirds of us view them as family members and cherish them accordingly. We love our animals to death. Literally.
