Editor, We’ve seen letters from parents advocating the school district to go back to in-school learning. They’ve expressed how their kids are suffering from the lack of social contact with teachers and friends. These parents are defending their kids because they can’t do it for themselves. I’m writing to defend Northern Montana Care Center residents because somebody has to stick up for them, too. Imagine how the residents are feeling with this isolation. The main reason many of them have for living is to see their familie...

Chad currently holds a 138 average. Sunday he bowled a 155, 172 and a 268, for a series of 595. Great bowling, Chad. This tells me people are bowling much better, and I see record scores this season. High scores for the week are Women’s Game and series, Ali Ward, 196, 526, and Men’s high game,...
