Apology due
In response to Ryan Zinke’s column (Whitefish Pilot, Nov. 28), I live on U.S. 93 West just beyond the city limits. As a matter of course, I walk into town on a regular basis along West Second Street. I don’t see an…
Admires Zinke's transparency
At this point, Ryan Zinke has pulled his application for a microbrewery and bed and breakfast on West Second Street, probably for his own reasons, but I can’t help but feel that he was treated like a fox in a hen h…
West Second Street history

I just returned from the Whitefish Planning Board meeting where I witnessed absolute disregard for public concern about Ryan Zinke’s Planned Unit Development request, which amounts to a major zone change that will …
47 percent revisited
Some of you may remember my letter about Gov. Mitt Romney’s comments that 47 percent of Americans don’t pay taxes and are essentially on some form of government assistance and feel victims of government.
Football team a class act
In this day and age, especially in this time of year, I hope the people of Whitefish are refreshed by a positive story as opposed to a negative political ad.
We all benefit
We all are endowed with interests and passions that occupy us beyond our careers or day to day lives. Whether it is sports, outdoor enthusiasm or education, you rarely have to look far to find a nonprofit organizat…
Assault rifles and a nonviolent Christian vision
This is NOT a letter advocating gun control. That argument would be pointless in our present stage of cultural and societal evolution. This is a letter, however, questioning the morality and appropriateness of a Ch…
