  • Water Trial In Malta Should Be Well Attended

    David L. Pippin, My Opinion|Feb 18, 2015

    Hello Valley County, As we have a very unusual winter taking place this year, I take this time to write a letter regarding a matter of great concern to me and many others in Valley County. In a day when many of our rights are being redefined and sometimes even taken away, I thought it best to inform you of the upcoming water trial in Malta on Feb. 25 at 9 a.m. at the Phillips County Courthouse. Over the past 10 years, Ron and Maxine Korman have tried every avenue available to them to claim the water rights on their ranch in South Valley...

After living here for countless years I’ve come to the understanding of how this works. Well, here’s how it is, but it needs to change if we are to continue to thrive...

  • I'm Concerned About Integrity Of Resource Management Plan

    David L. Pippin, Valley County Commissioner|Jun 19, 2013

    My main comment on this Resource Management Plan is the integrity of this document and what it should be. Will the taxpayer and residents of the affected counties be confident with this document? Upon further examination, I find that many things were not completely done in regard to the fairness for the people who live in the Valley County area. A comparative analysis should be done to insure that this document does not infringe upon anyone’s individual civil rights, and that it preserves the cultural identity, heritage and well being of the V...
