Two sides to every story: vote yes for kids
In order to repair our track, it would cost upwards of 1 million dollars, regardless of whether this bond passes. …
Thank you, Dave Skinner, for your letter concerning the train whistle. Let's not forget Whitefish's roots - this was a railroad town - in this centennial year.
We should be celebrating the railroad and what it brought to this area — not eliminating its sound.
Negative focus
This letter is in response to the article in the Sept. 8 issue of the Whitefish Pilot written by Richard Hanners regarding the City of Whitefish Police Department.

I am on a Rocky Mountain high because of Walt Sayre's "Looking Back" column.
For almost 50 years now, our family has regularly conducted evening campfires with marshmallow roasts and wienie roasts along the edge of Whitefish Lake and below high-water mark.
Several days ago, we were roasting marshmallows, and we had the garden hose handy and a pail handy so we could put out our fire when finished, as we have always done. There were other fires visible around the lake …
After reading about the petition being circulated to get the railroad to stop blowing horns for the State Park crossing, I'm disappointed.
I live by the cemetery and hear the trains when they blow for not only State Park but Engineer's Row crossing. Yeah, I know there probably isn't a single engineer who lives there now.

Letter01
I am disappointed that in the overlap of moving out of the old classrooms and the public salvage at Central School, I have lost more than 10 maps on two wall rollers.
Truth and justice
I am writing in response to the recent interview with city judge candidate Valarie Eve reported in the Whitefish Free Press.
The letter from Dick Skees (Whitefish Pilot Aug. 11) which claims that Flathead County Commissioner Gary Hall is a RINO (Republican in name only) was so weird it must be answered.
From the viewpoint of a Republican activist in Flathead County since 1956 until my retirement from active politics in 2004, I can state with certainty that Gary Hall is a real Republican.
Whitefish Lake Lodge support
Regarding The Lodge at Whitefish Lake project, thank you to all the people who have called and expressed their support for our project on Whitefish Lake.
Old mining laws
One of the most polluted rivers in the United States is our Clark Fork in Northwestern Montana. It is filled with layers of toxic mine waste from more than 100 years of indiscriminate dumping from the Butte and Ana…

I recently noticed the signs annoucing the U.S. Highway 93 bypass around Kalispell. Now I see that plan is being modified. For years, Whitefish has been talking about a bypass.
