Dear Editor,
Vote smart
Energy issues we face are a matter of national security. Our country faces one of the biggest challenges our nation has seen since World War II. As we send $700 billion dollars overseas per year to buy oil from people who don’t like us, our “do nothing” democratic congress stopped our ability to drill within 50 miles of our coastlines, which holds the majority of our oil and natural gas. We have to come to grips with our dire need to develop our natural resources in a responsible way. Nationally we have enough resources in a responsible way. Nationally we have enough resource to meet our demand. With gas prices pushing $3.50 to $4.00 a gallon the Democratic majority leader in Congress wants us to make sure our tires are inflated at the proper pressure so we can save fuel. Hello, is any body out there?! (NEED I SAY MORE)
Sue Cooperman serves community
We have nothing against new people relocating to our beautiful county and finding jobs, in fact some of our favorite people are relative newcomers. When it comes to running for public office, we do admire people like Sue Cooperman. She has served the county residents very effectively for a long time in the County Attorney’s office. Without leaving her job or the county and at her own expense she found a way to continue her education to better serve our citizens. Sue’s professionalism and promptness was always appreciated each time we asked for assistance from the County Attorney’s office. We’ve heard this same opinion from numerous citizens over the years. We think Sue has earned the opportunity to serve this county as Justice of the Peace and has our support.

Scientist tests Thompson water
Along the banks of the Thompson Falls Resevoir Thursday, University of Montana Geomorphologist Johnnie Moore bent down to take several sediment samples from the property of Thompson Falls resident, Jon Sonju. Moore was searching for contaminants that washed downstream from the Milltown Dam, breached last March. Sonju, a geologist, invited Moore to test the sediment after he noticed a green discoloration of the water near his home at the edge of the river. Moore has conducted previous research in conjunction with the U.S. Geological Survey and PPL Montana, which owns the Thompson Falls hydroelectric dam on the Clark Fork River.
