Wrong, wrong, wrong Dear Editor: Chrystal Perrow’s letter published Nov. 18 (“Dig deep”) has it exactly wrong. She has been shocked by the mess and corruption of our country’s voting system. While I’m sure it can be greatly improved (hours-long lines anyone?), the only corruption exposed so far is that of the president and his […]

Dig deep Dear Editor: Just tell me the truth. Our country’s voting system is a mess. I had no idea it was so filled with corruption. As citizens, we deserve to have confidence in our voting process, to know that every legal vote will be counted, and that no amount of money or political party […]

Watching the watershed Dear Editor: Where will the court be listening and considering those arguments to be heard on Nov. 10 at 10 a.m., regarding the lawsuit challenging the Mission Project?

Edelweiss subdivision residents would like to remind non-resident hunters that the roads within the subdivision are privately owned and maintained.

Thanks to school district Dear Editor: The community’s response to fire relief efforts — local and statewide — has been nothing short of inspiring. Firefighters have been ninja-like in their quick response to new fire starts in the valley. But we would especially like to give thanks to another set of heroes — Methow Valley School District leadership. Never in our […]

Finding your sunlight Dear Editor: Strange times are upon us like unchartered land, raw and natural. Like wandering out into the mountains on paths that are non-existent, seeing a corner ahead and not knowing what lies around the bend. No footprints to follow, only game tracks that switch back and forth in untraceable patterns, giving […]

Understanding the rage Dear Editor: The lives of police officers matter a great deal. But it would be wrong to let that simple statement blind us to the reality of what life can be like in places like inner-city Baltimore or Minneapolis. In order to understand the rage behind the Black Lives Matter movement, it […]

Thanks, Aero Methow Dear Editor: For most of us who have lived here in the Methow for a while, we recognize the power of Aero Methow Rescue Service. They efficiently and professionally respond to our needs. I found myself needing their care about a week and a half ago. Dave, Ian and Joel responded and […]
