This month in Saint Marie, our normal board meetings are taking a holiday break, but will be back
on schedule for the New Year. Because of the holiday season,
the offices at Town Hall will be closed Dec. 17 through Dec. 19, and from Tuesday, Dec. 25, through Tuesday, Jan. 1. If you need help while the offices are closed, you can contact Water
& Sewer at 524-3374; the Post Office at 524-3737; and Condo & Village at 524-3336.
This year has seen some changes in our board mem-bers, especially the North Valley County Water and Sewer Board. The latest director to resign in or-der to take over the vacated office position is Alice Hawkins, while James Logan was appointed to take over the seat that Ken Sch-
neider had vacated. On the bul-letin board at Town Hall notices for the director and employee vacancies are posted.
On Dec. 16, the Saint Marie Fire Department had its last fire training for this year. Our Fire Department invites anyone in-terested in becoming a volunteer firefighter to contact our Chief August Aho at 263-9733 or As-sistant Fire Chief Nick DeGreek
at 260-3833.Now that we have had the
snow plows out, the Fire Depart-ment is asking residents to help clear a path from the hydrants to the street so the hydrants are more easily accessible in the event of an emergency. There also needs to be a path of at least three feet cleared from around the hydrants. To make it easier for snow plows to get through, vehicles must be
parked in the driveway and not on the street. There have been reports of children taking the fire hydrant flags away from the hydrants. Please talk to your children and let them know the flags need to stay in place.
As a reminder to those who use our Post Office, with the holidays here packages stack
There were 10 motor vehicle stops, four accidental/prank 911 calls, four reports of barking/lost/loose dogs, and two reports of loose livestock.

He said the people who were in the RV have their vehicle about four feet from the camper but their keys are in the RV so they can’t move it. Nashua, Frazer, Wolf Point and Long Run were all contacted. Responding personnel found the RV to be a total loss. One male on scene had burns to his hands and he was taken to Wolf Point
to be checked out.0849 – A female called to
report that she had been con-tacted via Facebook from a male at about 0300 today. She said it wasn’t threatening or anything but she has a no-contact order against him so she has to report any contact he makes.

up quickly. To help postmaster Marylou Remington out, please make sure you check in and pick up your packages so there isn’t a backlog. In past years, it has gotten pretty crowded.
Also, a reminder to keep watch for packages being deliv-ered to your home. In many parts of Montana, as well as across the nation, there are a few who take it upon themselves to take the packages that have been deliv-ered to your home. This is more common than you may think. Be aware of when package deliveries should be made to your door. It
is easy to become lax, including us, when you live in a quiet rural community.
Scams are also prevalent this time of year either by email, phone or mail. Everyone needs to be extra cautious, even in rural Montana. Sadly, many seniors are targeted for these scams. The Montana Department of Justice has a website that lets Montanans know of the latest scams going around, dojmt.gov/?s=scams. You can sign-up for scam alerts to be sent to your email address by visiting dojmt.gov/consumer/sign-up-for-scam-alerts/.
A word of warning to Saint Marie residents: It appears that there have been several large dogs that are straying into yards
and being very aggressive and challenging to our seniors and kids who live there. Some resi-dents are carrying spray and walking sticks to protect them-selves. For the protection of our residents, keep your dogs on a leash or fenced in. Be advised, there have been complaints writ-ten regarding these dogs with photos and recordings accompa-nying the complaints.
It has also been noted that some residents have witnessed eagles and hawks swooping down on cats in Saint Marie. We have personally seen eagles swoop down on the big snow shoe rab-bits. Another animal making their home in St. Marie are deer, who are now bedding down in front
yards, including ours.It is always a good time to
remind our little ones that if you are having a problem with another student/students or are being bullied, assure them that the proper way to go about the problem is to let your parents know what is going on and to also let your teacher know. Being a child is difficult enough and they might not want to “tattle” on those who are hurting them for fear of making it worse or afraid to be labeled a tattletale. But if the teachers or parents don’t know about it, they can not help solve the problem.
Christmas is almost upon us, the kids will be out of school for the holidays and all the wonderful
sights, sounds and smells are all around us! It is that time of year where family and friends can come together and enjoy each other’s company while also en-joying the munchkins with their wide eyes and excitement over the holidays.
I will be dating myself but one wonderful childhood memory I have is decorating the Christmas tree with real tinsel icicles and bubble lights. Other memories include making garland of col-ored paper and glitter ornaments, which were all made by hand, and of cookies baking in the oven. I am sure there are many out there with just as pleasant memories of these things.
What I have noticed about liv-
ing in rural Montana, is that many of those older pleasant memories of a simpler, pleasant time does still exist here. We have a won-derful tradition of our family cutting Christmas trees by going to Zortman and this year was no exception. The weather was nice and also on the warmer side as we drove back into the mountains past the campground. There were other families out and about all enjoying their traditional trek to find the “perfect” tree. What an enjoyable day it was.
We are wishing everyone a wonderful and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Our wish to you this holiday time is to be safe and enjoy this wonderful time of year.

By Samar FayCourier editorAnnual assessments for the county refuse disposal district were raised by the Valley County commissioners today. No one attended yesterday’s hearing to comment on the increase.The basic assessment, levied
on every family residential unit in the county, was raised from $85 to $120. The resolution states that the commercial and industrial rates are based on a comparison with a typical residential unit as to vol-ume and type of waste produced.Some categories of waste were raised $5 over the previous charge.
The new per-ton rates are out of county tonnage – $37.50, con-tractor – $30, clean up materi-als – $25, road asphalt – $37.50, contaminated soil with gas – $27, contaminated soil with diesel – $35 and meth clean up – $34.50.A few categories remained the same: tires – $150, asbestos – $140
and human sewage waste – $10.The commissioners said the increase is necessary because of the rising costs of fuel, equip-ment, labor and contractor fees. The Refuse Board and the com-missioners are also aware that a new bulldozer will be needed at the landfill soon.
By Samar FayCourier editorA Montana woman recently re-leased from jail went missing from a Glasgow motel on Oct. 2. Glasgow Police Chief Bruce Barstad has called in the Montana Department of Crimi-nal Investigation on the case and has asked for the public’s help in locating Cynthia K. Picton, age 42. She is white with shoulder-length blond hair, 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing 105 pounds.Police believe she may be with a
boyfriend, Robert Keith Briscoe, who was released from the Wolf Point jail on Oct. 1. Briscoe, 36, is white, 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighs 160 pounds, and has short dark hair with a receding hairline.Briscoe attempted to contact Picton on Oct. 1. In the early hours of Oct. 2, a motel employee reported that Picton and her car, a 2006 gray Nissan Altima with Montana plates 6-25871A, were gone.
Law enforcement investigated
Picton’s room and, based on informa-tion obtained, listed her as a missing person. They don’t know where she has gone or if foul play is involved.“We are looking at it as a missing person case,” said Chief Barstad. “We will err on the side of caution.”Glasgow and state authorities have put out alerts across the region on Picton, her car and Briscoe.Anyone with information about them can call the Glasgow Police Department, 406-228-4333.

Farmers And Ranchers Close Land To Hunting; Fundraiser Planned To Support Lawsuit
‘Those Kids are My Kids’, Dinner
honoree says
By Samar FayCourier editorFarmers and ranchers in Valley and Phillips counties, the grassy prairie that some envision as an American Serengeti for free-roaming bison, have turned their opposition to this plan back on Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks in a new way. To demon-strate that they do not accept FWP’s translocation of Yellowstone bison to northeast Montana, about 70 landowners have cut years-long ties with FWP’s game management programs and the hunter friends they have hosted on their land.The decisions have been announced in newspa-per advertisements in The Courier and The Phillips County News. The first to make the public move were the Stonebergs on Horse Ranch, some 40 miles south of Hinsdale on Timber Creek, the home of Ron and Rose Stoneberg, and their daughter Sierra Holt, her husband, Jason Holt, and their daughter, Zora.Their Aug. 15 ad stated that Horse Ranch was no longer in FWP’s Block Management program, which pays landowners to open almost 8 mil-lion acres of private property to public hunting. “We are against state FWP policies that adversely affect hunters and landowners,” they said, without referring specifically to bison relocation, although all of the adult members of the family have written opinion pieces on the subject.The ad said hunters were welcome and should come to the ranch house for permission to hunt.Two weeks later, eight farms and ranches in north Valley County announced that they were closed to all hunting because of FWP management decisions and fire danger. That ad has been running continu-ously for seven weeks.
On Sept. 19, the names of 48 landowners, mostly
An account has been set up at Valley Bank of Glasgow to help with medical expenses for Myron “Magoo” Blanchard and his daughter, Georgie Kulczyk, who are both battling cancer and spending extensive time away from Glasgow while undergo-ing treatment.Please make donations payable to “Blanchard Medical Fund” if you are able to help this family. It would be very much appreciated.There is a fundraiser being planned for early November, including a beef dinner, live and silent auctions, raffles and games, and probably music. More information will follow as the details are ironed out.
If you would like to donate items or gift cer-tificates for this fundraiser, please call Jody Faul at 263-7454 or Rick Stellflug at 263-9333, and they will be glad to pick up your donation.

By Samar FayCourier editorAbsentee ballots were sent out to Montana voters on Tuesday, so they can buckle down to winnowing their choices on a lot of important races. Unless a voter lives off the grid, it is impossible to be unaware of the battles going on – and even that person gets hectored by mail appeals.
The presidential, Senate and House elections are making a lot of noise, as
are the major statewide contests, where the top five positions are in play, and the legislative races. Five ballot issues are before the voters and there is also an open seat on the Montana Supreme Court.For area voters, there are just three contested local races; the rest are unop-posed.In Montana’s Senate District 18, the candidates are both from Scobey. The incumbent, Republican John Brenden,
is being challenged by Democrat Julie French.House District 35 features two new-comers to politics, Democrat Floyd Hopstad of Glasgow and Republican Mike Lang of Malta.
Valley County Commissioner Bruce Peterson is seeking a second term. He is being challenged by a write-in candidate, John Fahlgren. Local elections in Valley County are non-partisan.The candidates for these offices will
be invited to answer questions, which will be printed in The Courier later this month.The unopposed local legislative candidates are incumbent Sen. Jonathan Windy Boy (D-Box Elder) in SD 16, Bridget Smith (D-Wolf Point) in HD 31, Clarena Brockie (D-Harlem), who beat the two-term incumbent, Tony Belcourt, in HD 32, and Austin Knudsen (R-Culbertson) in HD 36.In the county, Clerk of District Court
Shelley Bryan has filed for re-election. Absentee voters don’t have to rush to drop their ballot in the mailbox. Sometimes events take strange turns and change people’s decision. Just return the ballot by Election Day, Nov. 6. Those who have not requested an absentee ballot can still see a sample ballot for their precinct on the Montana Secretary of State’s website, sos.mt.gov.
