Outdoors by Carl Wolf: Catching flies with big politics
Congress passed, (yes, it does occasionally), the Coinage Act in April 1792 and established the first national mint in Philadelphia, our first Capitol, (no, it was not Mar-a-logo). Which brings me to my point, fly fishing. My lifetime subscription magazine from the Federation of Fly Fishers came today and after looking at the pictures of […]
Up Pryor Creek without a google map
Dear Editor, Carl Wolf in Worden, Montana: Your YCN column is educational, entertaining, and interesting. I think the bus you and Jonathan threw each other under has been consigned to memory and replaced
Intentional omission of “Rule of Law” in Constitution
Dear Editor, Rush Limbaugh says it marks the United States as a special place, Sean Hannity is always mentioning it, Adolph Hitler had Hans Frank one of his chief lawyers traveling around Nazi Germany lecturing the people about it, Barrack Obama believes in it.
Solution to one local ‘food desert’
Dear Editor, Larry Price’s house in Iron Wood could be turned into a community center, have a local Mom and Pop grocery store, a small café, coffee shop, an exercise/rehab room and a couple rooms for unexpected over-night guests. In some of the larger cities the only store is the convenience store that sells junk […]
Eliminate local trash proliferation
Dear Editor, I hope this finds you well, Nice to see someone looking outside the box for a change. Good job. I live south of town on Blue Creek Road and have always loved the area. With growth of Billings over the years, I’ve seen a deal of trash from public and private vehicles that drive […]
Miranda warnings protect government officials
Dear Editor, Recently, I was asked what I meant by the term “case law”. Actually, it is another way of saying judge made law. More specifically it is law made by appellate court justices. One of the most well-known types of case law was made in the Miranda case which originated in Arizona in the […]
Wolf in “sheep’s” column
Dear Editor, I have read Carl Wolf’s column for the last time (Dec 21 issue). For me, the last straw was his statement “Appears semi-Americans (Republicans) upset because politics included in an outdoors column”. Surprisingly, he is still confused about what is being
CSKT Water Compact overflowing with giveaways
Dear Editor, The CSKT Water Compact reminds me of Nancy Pelosi’s apt description of Obama Care, “We had to pass the bill to find out what was in it!” Hidden in the 1500 pages of the CSKT Compact are some huge
Isn’t that what free speech is about?
Dear Editor, I’ve been reading with interest the opinions for and against the various articles and authors that are presented in the YCN. It disappoints me that some people call for the removal of some of the columnists because they don’t fit with what some people think. I submit, isn’t that what free speech is […]
Who decided we don’t want racing here?
Dear Editor, Great article in the 12-14-18 issue of the YCN about horse racing. We were all excited about it because of horse racing and Indian relay racing. After the Indian relays had to go elsewhere, twenty-two teams went to Seattle. Imagine how much money went with them. Who decided we don’t want racing here? […]
