Letter to the Editor; Doctor Smith
Dr. Terry Smith is my doctor and has been since I moved here in 2003. He was there for me during a tragedy that almost broke me. He took the time out as a doctor to give me the tools to get through my grief. He did this without having me on drugs. Through the years he has never let me down as a doctor. When I tried to see him, the last two months that he was here, it was impossible to get an appointment. I got a hold of his nurse Shauna and she made sure that I saw him. I had really high blood pressure and I needed it to come down. I was seen the next day. He said that there was no excuse for me not being seen. It took three weeks. Doctor Smith and his nurse Shauna are a great team and they will be missed here.

Montana Aussie Adventures with Erin-Jay
Another glorious week in Montana, and still hard to believe that I now call this place home.
Didn't come up with the same planning board results
I read Ron Olfert’s letter in the May 1st Ledger and, after reading what Ron wrote, decided to read Title 76 of Montana Code Annotated. I find it strange that I did not come away with the same understanding of a growth policy that Ron presented in his letter. For instance, Ron states “… a growth policy must be implemented. The implementation document is the zoning law …” 76.1.601(3)(f) states a growth policy must include an implementation strategy that includes: (i) a timetable for implementing the growth policy; (ii) a list of conditions that will lead to the revision of the growth policy; and (iii) a timetable for reviewing the growth policy at least once every five years and revising the policy if necessary. But 76-1-601(2) states: “The extent to which a growth policy addresses the elements listed in subsection (3) is at the full discretion of the governing body.” This means (3)(f), the implementation strategy, doesn’t have to be considered by the governing body.
