Take pride & invest in Shepherd community
Dear Editor, I attended the informative community meeting about the upcoming Mill Levy vote for Shepherd Schools on March 20th. Jeff Kanning from Collaborative Design Architects described the budget and project to group of about 50 community members and fielded questions. My family ranches in the school district and my children, Miriam (three) and Angus […]
Why would Putin push for Trump?
Why would Russia’s Vladimir Putin want Trump to become President of the U.S. in 2016? He had the leading Democrat candidate “in his pocket”. Hillary Clinton had already approved sale of 20% of the U.S. enriched uranium to Russia in her capacity as Secretary of State. And in turn the Clinton Foundation received 145 million dollars from Russian affiliated […]
Kerns nailed it on schools
Dear Editor, I just wanted to say how last week’s article (3/8/10) by Krayton Kerns, was spot on. When he said, “Government schools and universities have become socialist indoctrination centers where students are taught to treasure victimhood and regurgitate socialist talking points,” explain
Nay-sayers are trying to squash Shepherd’s growth
Dear Editor, We see people skating around writing letters to the editor and social media who are against updating of the Shepherd School, our community’s hub, stating it’s too much money or we don’t need any updating to that capacity. However, 30 years is an awful long time to utilize a facility such as this […]
Main Stream Media is overwhelming liberal based
Dear Editor, Ironically, I was amused by the latest tongue lashing by the Progressive Pioneer with a slightly different perspective. I’ll start by agreeing with her that “something very ugly is happening, something dangerous, divisive and destructive” is going on out there. The irony is that she is somehow inferring its GOP or conservative radio […]
Unintended Consequences of the $18 Million Bond
Dear Editor, Unintended Consequences of the $18 Million Bond There are some hard realities that come with a small community school equipped with a Hospitality Room for sports tournaments. Shepherd is not a large, wealthy or fast-growing tax district. We pay more than 70% of our property taxes to the school. The tax cycle was […]
MAGA does not condone white supremacy
Dear Editor, I am a freshman at Rocky Mountain College and the treasurer of Young Americans for Freedom which is a club that was established on campus this school year. It is a national, non-profit organization that is a project of the Young America’s Foundation.
Forum on Tester’s choices anyone?
Dear Editor, Judy Trenka’s letter of 2-10-19 nagged me. I must write to the YCN to support her for her treatment by Jon Tester’s office. Ms. Trenka, I too had a similar experience with Tester’s office.
Student perspective on Shepherd Bond
Dear Editor, In light of recent discussion throughout news outlets and social media regarding the new Shepherd Schools bond levy that is running, I feel compelled to add my voice to the discussion. I’m just a kid. I don’t have 30 years of working experience with asbestos removal. I haven’t been a fire marshal for […]
Can we really sell parts of U.S.A.
Dear Editor, Thanks for printing my recent letter to the Editor in the YCN, March 1, 2019, issue. However, it was a bit embarrassing to see it posted beneath “The Outdoors” column by Mr. Wolf. His pictures and words of frozen wildlife may be a reality, but I could not find the same inspiration as […]
