Dear Editor,
Just a short note regarding the disappearance of the paper’s comic section. A newspaper is not really complete without something to make you laugh. But then I realized that we don’t really need a comic section, as we have Carl. He’s not only funny but also quite informational. Keep it coming Carl.

Dear Editor, This is my first letter to your very interesting newspaper (the rest will be way shorter), and up to this point appears to be a truth filled newspaper, not a liberal, pundit laced tabloid such as the Billings … read more
Congress passed, (yes, it does occasionally), the Coinage Act in April 1792 and established the first national mint in Philadelphia, our first Capitol, (no, it was not Mar-a-logo). Which brings me to my point, fly fishing. My lifetime subscription magazine … read more
2019 started off slowly with the weather clocking in at a big fat goose egg, “0 degrees.” In fact, it was so cold, it was like when Carl Wolf stopped frozen in his tracks when he saw me come visit … read more
Dear Editor, I have read Carl Wolf’s column for the last time (Dec 21 issue). For me, the last straw was his statement “Appears semi-Americans (Republicans) upset because politics included in an outdoors column”. Surprisingly, he is still confused about … read more
Boss Jonathan took me out to the wood shed other day. Quite a talk. Long discussion about outdoors versus politics, freedom of speech, prejudice and fear that comes with speaking out. I came away chastened and thoughtful. Still not clear … read more
It was not only dark, but cold and a bit windy. People came anyhow. Sitting on a bench in the shadow of the Pompey’s Pillar museum, I wondered if they would come. Two young women, then an older couple, then … read more
