Thank You, Whitefish!
The Thanksgiving holiday is a time that I truly value, as it is an opportunity for me to express my appreciation to the educators, trustees, students, administrators, families, and the community of Whitefish for all you do for our students.
Senator Daines: I’m thankful for Montana
As a fifth-generation Montanan, I didn’t choose Montana — Montana chose me. Over 100 years ago, my great-great-grandmother homesteaded 23 miles east of Conrad, and that’s how my family made it to the Last Best Place. And I’ll be forever thankful for that.
Common ground on guns
A new year brings with it new hope for a new beginning. As the ancient saying goes, the old has died that the new may be tried. And so we celebrate the happy holiday time in the spirit that the year to come will bring more peace, goodwill, and good faith.
Fresh faces needed on Whitefish’s housing committee
In November, the Whitefish City Council adopted the 2022 Whitefish Community Housing Action Plan — a document meant to guide the creation of more affordable housing options in Whitefish by 2030. One of the plan’s primary recommendations is to “evolve” the city’s housing committee, which in its current form, is set to sunset on Dec. 31, 2022.
Whitefish marijuana dispensaries ‘rules of proximity’
I am writing to acknowledge and address all the emails, text messages, and telephone calls from citizens (both my supporters and non) concerned by the number, proximity, and location of dispensaries in downtown Whitefish.

Teachers on the front lines
School shootings and the bloody murders of totally innocent children and their teacher caretakers is a societal tragedy that Americans have become numb to. Without the common sense outlawing of the assault weapons used in most of these atrocities, the preventable horror will relentlessly continue, in our schools, most of them public schools.
Congressman Zinke: We need a sharp scalpel
We know this sounds preposterous, but please hear us out. We are urging you to ask Congressman Ryan Zinke to vote no on his own House Concurrent Resolution 86, “Expressing the sense of Congress that a carbon tax would be detrimental to the United States economy.”
Hospital Corner: May is Mental Health Awareness Month
Spring brings a mixed bag of weather, along with the promise that summer is near. As we transition from the dark days of winter to the long, bright days of summer, May is a good time to prioritize our mental health through self-care.
Mountain Climber Commuters call for support
To better support the transportation needs of the valley, Mountain Climber staff, along with the Transportation Advisory Committee, have developed a proposal to increase service between the cities of Kalispell, Whitefish and Columbia Falls. This proposal will require the hiring of four additional full-time drivers, which would also increase the service provided within the three cities, especially Whitefish and Columbia Falls.
