Rural District petition essential to positive change
Polson | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 8 years, 11 months AGO
I am writing to express my appreciation of the democratic process in our community. Through grass roots efforts several concerned citizens rallied to request, by petition, that the Polson Rural Fire District make positive changes. The request follows the resignation of over 12 volunteer firefighters from the rural fire district – many of those with the most experience, many of those in officer positions, many of those who responded to most in our department (over several decades). We all hope for a just resolution.

Letter: Change has to come from the people, not the government
Regardless of our political views, here are some questions in my opinion we each should think about, discuss among ourselves, and look at as we consider whether we live or die as a democracy, as an empowered nation, and as a free people.
Public access key to tourism
What do restaurants, motels, vacation rentals, gas stations, grocery and retail stores, plumbers and real estate agents have in common? Their owners and employees all depend heavily on tourism for survival. Lake County Commissioners, through the County Parks Board, have developed a draft management plan to help guide parks and recreation activities to support this economic engine for the next 10-20 years. The 120-page draft plan is available for review on-line and at the county’s libraries. The comment period ends April 30. If you enjoy walking, biking, fishing, boating, and swimming or your job depends on visitors to the area that participate in these activities, please comment.
Acting from our 'better selves'
The craziness that is going on, not only in America, but all over the world seems way beyond reason. The list is long and well known. What is important, in my opinion, is some recognition of what it is going to take to change the human condition.
