Epstein vote

Congratulations to Rep. Ryan Zinke for voting to release the Epstein files.

Unfortunately, he didn’t choose to support the victims of Epstein and his circle of friends until the president told him to.

As a result, we don’t know if Zinke truly supports the victims and wants the pedophiles held to account for the terrible things they did, or, if he is still just doing whatever Trump demands.

You shouwld have stood up to Trump long ago if you wanted to prove how strong you were, Rep. Zinke. Now we still don’t know if you are voting your conscience or just being a continued toady for Trump.

Local health care

Nearly 60 years ago in then-tiny Kalispell, the late Dr. Wilson Higgs founded what would grow into today’s Glacier ENT and Hearing, a proudly independent clinic offering state-of-the-art care to the Flathead Valley, and braving blizzards and narrow icy winter roads long before such out-reach was common to Polson and Libby.

So congratulations to Libby-native Dr. Anna Knisely who now joins Logan Health to further enlarge Kalispell’s cadre of caring ENT physicians and to continue Dr. Higgs’ legacy of first-class care in the reaches of northwest Montana.  

Welcome!

­— Dr. Andy Palchak, Kalispell

Water level

Thank you, John Marshall, for your comments regarding the water levels in Flathead Lake (Mother Nature is undefeated). I myself have been wondering just how we can legislate a drought , even though many people are angrily trying to do so. Ridiculous.
