Letters to the editor
Thank you Half Moon
A few weeks ago on a busy Thursday night Half Moon Restaurant allowed the 8th Grade class at Ophir School to bus tables, take orders and serve food to earn tips to help fundraiser for their May Washington DC trip.
Due to the restaurant’s generosity and the extra help provided by Half Moon staff, the 8th graders worked hard and earned $1000 towards the trip.
Opportunity knocking
By Dawn Garcia
Do you have a desire to assist those devastated in Haiti or Chile? Do you have an entrepreneurial spirit and building construction skills? If you do, there's a gentleman in Bozeman who believes he has an idea for you.
Mr. Ivan Newnham has a kind and generous heart. He is also an admirer of Buckminster Fuller. It is, therefore, only natural that as he pondered the homeless plight of the Haitians he would recall an idea that Bucky had in the 1930's.

RE: Hyalite-Porcupine-Buffalo Horn Wilderness Study Area Interim Summer Travel Plan
Dear Superintendent Erickson,
As you are considering how to manage the Hyalite-Porcupine-Buffalo Horn Wilderness Study Area Interim Summer Travel Plan, I highly encourage you to consider the severe negative economic impact that enforcement of heightened wilderness-like user standards will have the Big Sky business community.
Dear Editor,
The Yellowstone Park elk are gone. 13,000 Park elk were slaughtered by wolves. Now the wolves are moving to Montana to do the same thing here. What is Fish Wildlife and Parks answer to this? A sham of a hunt, with a ridiculous low limit of 75 wolves statewide, only 12 in this area. Idaho had a limit of 225 and a much longer season. 15,603 hunters bought a wolf permit for a total of $325,916 a season that ended in 2 days, a total rip off of hunters. FWP should either reopen the wolf season or give back the money.
