People assure me that Whitefish remains a great, welcoming place

2020 doesn’t need many more cynics or critics

Many local organizations need your time and service

It proved quite the decade, full of promise

Empathy is what makes us human

Thanks for making our towns and valley, our state and nation, better places to live

Fall is when I tend to have more time to civically engage

On Nov. 5 townsfolk get a voice with their ballots

Help set the direction of Whitefish, Columbia Falls and Kalispell for the next four years with just one ballot

Count your blessings, friends

Try to make it better, try to find the joy, try to live a life of gratitude

The safety of our roadways requires your help

Only good leadership can forge paths forward that work in our prospering towns and valley

Candidates currently vying to lead our municipalities should take this opportunity and paint a vision for where we are going

There’s so much work outside that still needs to get done before the snow falls and the valley, once again, calms back down
