QRU responds topropane explosion
About two weeks ago, the SccleyLake QRU members assisted a man whowas badly burned as a result of apropane explosion in a small camptrailer located east of Seeley Lake. Theman was seriously burned when heattempted to light the propane stoveearly in the morning, and ignitedpropane which had evidently leaked outthe night before.
The incident has prompted QRUmembers to issue the following re-minders:
-Conduct regular safety checks ofpropane (LP-gas) heaters and stoves inall recreational vehicles on a regularbasis. These vehicles are often pulledover rough, mountain roads and fittingsmay become loose as a result.
-Sleep with a window open if youare camping in a trailer heated bypropane. If you wake with a headache, itmay be a sign of a propane leak.
-Tum all stove fixtures completelyoff, and double-check them beforelighting the stove the next umc.,lf youthink there is a possible leak, open thetrailer door to clear the air.
-Never re-light a burner that hasbeen turned on and for some reason theflame has gone out, (lor example, thecoffee boils over and extinguishes thefiame.) The room could conceivably befilled with the gas.
-Remember that propane is heavierthan air, and will fill a room from thefloor up.

o'4Move over potatoes and rice, pasta's popularity is rising. Most people
cook with the same spaghetti, linguine or macaroni when they serve pasta.But did you know that more than 600 shapes and sizes of pasta have evolvedsince its first recorded eating over 7,000 years ago!
Pasta lovers can now subscribe to a quarterly newsletter - for moreinformation write to Pastahhh Newsletter, Box 25496, Washington, D.C.20007. Thanks to thc National Pasta Association for the following recipe(watch I'or morc pasta recipes and tips from the NPA in upcoming columns),

Gradually add lasagne to rapidly boiling water so that water continues toboil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender. Drain in colander.
While lasagne is cooking, combine tomatoes, parsley, garlic andmarjoram in large skillet. Cover and cook over low heat about 20 minutes.Rcmove from heat.

Scvcral readers asked if wild mushrooms could be canned, frozen and dried.As long as you know that the mushroom is edible, thc answer is ycs.Howcvcr, Dr. Andrea Pagenkopf, Food and Nutrition Specialist, at MontanaState University (Cooperative Extension Service) said most of her sourcesindicated the quality is better if the mushrooms are frozen. (*MSP Note: MyShaggy Manes frceze beautifully.) Canning is acceptable, too. Misty Sarvis ofScelcy Lake canned hcr Shaggy Manes a couple of weeks ago. She suggestsfollowing thc Kerr or Ball'mushroom recipe; shc canned at 14 pounds ofpressure for 45 minutes.

Misnlaeed Priorities
Here are some facts that will soundfamiliar to members of the Chamber ofCommerce:
~ Tourism is the first, second, orthird largest business in 41 states.
~ It is the only business in Montanawhich has shown growth since ]979.In
fact, it has grown to bc the secondlargest business in the state.
The problem is that it hasn't cvcnbegun to reach its potential in Montana.This past summer was supposed to bethe "big one" for tourism. Cheapgasoline, European terrorism, and Expowere convergent factors supposed toresult in up to a 35% increase intourism. This turned out to be true formany parts of the country —but notMontana (up only 3%), and especiallynot the Seeley Swan Valley. Whathappened?
Hard to say. Generally, our fellowMontanans comprise thc bulk of thetral'fic to the Valley. Perhaps they allwent to Expo this year. But, whyhaven't wc scen morc out-of-statetourists?
Easy to say. Nobody knows wc're
here. Thc Ad Hoc group clearly recog-nized this problem during their sessionsthis summer and came up with lots ofgood ideas, based upon local initiative,to remedy thc problem. These remedies
may be of lilIlc avail, however, until
the larger problem is addressed. Thelarger problem is that, in terms oftourism, nobody knows Moniana ishere.
All we hear about lately is thc ill
health of the state's economy. Thetraditional "heavy" industries in the stateare withering, largely for economicreasons beyond our control (principally,declining world commodity prices). Thestate lavishes all kinds of resourcesupon these declining businesses in a(probably) futile cfl'ort to prop them up.The only business with any real
promise, tourism, also gets some staleresources: $1.2million dollars this year.Relative to the state's budget ofhundreds of millions, this is truly apathetic sum.
"Real" tourism states, such asFlorida, spend more than that just for
bumper stickers. Florida rcprcsents a
compelling testimonial to the power ofpromotion; it is a genuine marketingmiracle that their mosquito-riddenswamps and hurricane-ravaged shorelineshave bccn transformed into a-mecca fortourists. In the absence of promotion, aplace like Florida would be regarded asunfit for human habitation.
As we all know, Montana is wcll-endowed with natural splcndors and,accordingly, is well-suited to tourism. Itis also generally recognized that tourismis an ideal business for the state becauseof its low impact on the environment—which is a refreshing departure from ourtraditional industrial base. We may befacing a budget crunch, but perhaps it'
time to stop being "penny-wise andpound-foolish." Rather than pursuingthe sc]defeating strategy of ever greatertaxes upon our existing businesses,perhaps the state government needs toinvest in the. growth of business.Tourism sure looks like a good businessto bct on. —Dick Potter

Hart: License Renewals
To the Editor:Your editorial comments about
renewal notices were very timely. All ofthe Counties are scrambling for ways tocontinue the mailed notices.
Although people were able to mailin their checks or money orders longbcl'ore the State started renewal notices,it has been a very successful plan. InMissoula's Motor Vehicle Office, wecan give better service when morepeople usc thc mail. With large groupscoming in at different times of the dayand week, we can't schedule our peopleefficiently.
I hope your readers don't have theimpression that the Registrar's Depart-ment at Deer Lodge is posh. ThoseState employees work in a crowdedpaper-flflcd environment. The buildingdates back to 1918 and hasn't adaptedwell to modern office practices. When Ilast visited they were storing title filesin the tunnels leading to the basement.Their staff is reduced by eight peopleand thc public is already expcricncingdelay in receiving titles.
We should remember that the twobasic functions of the Registrar are tolicense and title vehicles. And asigniiicant part of that job is tomaintain accurate and quickly accessiblerecords for the law cnforccmcnt so thatthey can protect our lives and property.
Your suggestion to add a small fceto cover the cost of mailing notices isexcellent. Wc had a similar solution,but it is always best when an ideacomes from the public.

Q What are the nsks in theDistrict's plan?
A: The major risk is the possibilityof losing the loophole which wouldrequire legislative action. The Office ofPublic Instruction (OPI) in Helenarecently advised Ihe District that theloophole may, indeed, be closed in theforthcoming legislative session. Toaccommodate budgelary ptessttre, OPI isconsidering recommending to thelegislature that the Ioopho1e be closed.The Board of Trustees has not yetformally considered the OPI develop-ment, but discussions with schoolofficials suggest that the Board is likelyto adopt "a wait and sec" strategy. TheDistrict has been advised by the stateAttorney General's office that, if thebonds are approved by thc voters, theBoard has the latitude to defer anyfurther action on the bonds until thelegislative session has concluded.
Other risks include the possiblepassage of Initiatives 27 and 105, bothof which affect revenue from propertytaxes.
Q: What happens to my tax bill ifthe loophole closes?
A: If Ihe bond issue is approved andthc project proceeds, loss of the loop-hole would result in an approximatedoubling of District 34 taxes. Precisefigures are not available.
It is impossible to predict legis-lative action, but it is possible thatschool districts already reliant upon theloophole would be allowed to continueto do so (ie,"grandfathering" ). Becauseof the 20-year term of the bonds, theDistrict would be vulnerable to adverselegislative action in any of the next 10sessions.
Another option available to theBoard if the loophole closes next year isto forego construction of the middleschool and utilize only a portion of thefull bond amount for renovating theexisting school. Detailed figures are notpresently available for this situation.However, in simplistic terms, one canview the proposed plan (which reliesupon the loophole) as being essentiallyself-funding with respect to the middleschool; the tax increase can be thoughtof as arising solely from the renovationof the existing school. Presumably,then, if only the renovation occurs, thetax impact would be similar to theoriginal plan (ie, $7.00 pcr $10,000 ofproperty value).
Thursday, October 16, 1986 —Page 3Q:,Has . the Board examined
alternatives to their proposed plan?A: Not yet.Q: What are the answers to the
questions raised in Nancy Bart]ett'srecent letter to Ihe editor?
A: Gym floor (question onapplication of funds appropriated earlier)—In March 1985, the Board earmarked$9,000 for the repair of the gym andlunchroom floors. Approximately$1000 was spent to re-tile the lunchroom floor. $1500 was spent on a studyto identify remedies for Ihe gym floor.The study presented four options: a)remove concrete and replace with maplefloor ($93,811);b) install a new woodfloor over the concrete ($68,016); installa new ventilation system ($12,375);repair cracks in current floor (no costsgiven). The balance of the $9,000 wasrecycled into the budget and used forother purposes.
Insufficient showerheads (suggest-ion to lengthen showering time)—Shower time could be extended, buttime available for P.E. is already at aminimum because of two clothingchanges and showering. Presently, thereare 30-35 "net" minutes available for aP.E. class. Also, the existing drainsystem for the showers is undersized.
Office/library (suggestion to installparutions) —Partitions could be built,but the library is already cramped. Also,audio/visual equipment would, ideally,be stored in a larger library. At present,the A/V equipmcnt shares space withthe "sick" room, which is an unsatis-factory anangcmcnt.
Ventilation (suggestion to openwindows) —Opening the windows forventilation during the sumpter may bepractical, but not during Ihe cold wintermonths.
Q: Does thc budget include fundsfor new lab equipment in the newbuilding?
A: Not specifically, although newtables and benches are included. Someequipment will bc relocated from Ihe oldbuilding. Some ncw equipmcnt wouldprobably be purchased with contingencyfunds from the bond issue. Majorequipment purchases are not contem-pla~l; rather, equipment would be addedat thc normal annual rate.

Property owners in Missoula Countyshould receive their tax statementsbel'ore the Novcmbcr 4 election.

QRU responds topropane explosion
About two weeks ago, thc SccleyLake QRU members assisted a man whowas badly burned as a result of apropane explosion in a small camptrailer located east of Sceley Lake. Theman was seriously burned when hcattempted to light the propane stovecarly in the morning, and ignitedpropane which had evidently leaked outthe night before.
The incident has prompted QRUmembers to issue the following re-minders:
-Conduct regular safety checks ofpropane (LP-gas) heaters and stoves inall recreational vehicles on a regularbasis. These vehicles are often pulledover rough, mountain roads and fittingsmay become loose as a result.
-Sleep with a window open if youare camping in a trailer heated bypropane. If you wake with a headache, itmay be a sign of a propane leak.
-Turn all stove fixtures completelyoff, and double-check them beforelighting the stove the next time.,lf youthink there is a possible leak, open thetrailer door to clear the air.
-Never re-light a burner that hasbccn turned on and for some reason thcflame has gone out, (for example, thecoffee boils over and extinguishes theflame.) The room could conceivably befilled with the gas.
-Remember that propane is heavierthan air, and will fill a room from thefloor up.

The leaves drif'ted I'rom the cotton-wood uees, and turned the brown grass
gold on portions of the Blackfoot-Clearwatcr Game Range last week. JocAtkinson searched thc countryside lorfamiliar sites as we drove across BoydMountain, through years ol'emories,past the ghosts of pioneer homesteads.
Joc, who now lives at Grccnough
near thc Blackl'oot River, was 16 years
old in 1923 when he came to work as aranch hand on the Boyd Ranch, which
was owned by his uncle, Bill Boyd.That was the beginning of a lif'elong
love with this area, and he has called the
Blackfoot Valley home ever since."I'e been other places," he said,
nbut I always came back herc."For more than a dozen years he
worked on the Boyd Ranch, herding
sheep and tending cows. Hc rememberstimes when 6,000 sheep were sheared in
a season, when the three main bands
were rounded up and held near the
spacious sheds that used to sit near theRanch's main gate.

Joe Atkinson and "Twiggy."
Joe was responsible for a band of1500 sheep that wintered on theBradshaw place, one of the four or fiveranches that Bill Boyd purchased when
he created the sprawling sheep and cattleoperation.
The late twenties and early thirtieswere years when lumberjacks and ranchhands had to weather hard times with agood dose of humor in order to survive.He remembers feeding hay to the sheepeach morning. One time, while pullinga heavy load up a steep hill with a studhorse and an old mare, the mare droppeddead in lhc middle of thc hill. Joe had nochoice but to walk miles back to theranch for help. Hc clearly recalls thereaction from his uncle when he wastold of the news. "Well," he said, "Shenever did that before!"
Joc vividly recalls trailing shccp toPotomac for shipping. One year inparucular stands out. Hc had to lead"Old Snowball" and the rest of his bandall lhe way to Potomac. Hc didn't usc ahorse-he walked. "It took two days," hechuckled, shaking his head at thestrength of his youth.
Boyd Mountain has been famous forclk hunting for decades, and Joe agreesthat hunting was easy when he workedon the ranch. There were usually 100 to150 clk on the meadows in themorning. "They ruled the haystacks,n hesaid. nElk were just 'ike ants on thesehiflsides in the wintertime.n
Joe built "miles and milcsn of the
jackleg fence surrounding the meadows
of the ranch, to keep lhc stock out ofthe hay until it was cut. Then, at haying
time, about 30 men joined I'orces on the
meadows to put up the winter feed forthe stock.
Joc and the other men didn't lack forentertainment. Their $30/month wageswere spent mostly in Ovando, whichwas then the hub of the BlackfootValley ranching community. The olddance hall drew crowds on Friday nights,
including some "good musicians" fromMissoula.
There was a little bootlegginggoing on in the valley at that time, and
Joe chuckles over some of the chanceencounters hc had. One time, while
hunting, he stumbled onto a cache ofseveral barrels of whiskey. No, he didn'
try to report them-hc sold tftc whiskeyinstead! "I did trade two jugs to adentist, to fix my tccth," hc laughed.
jgogpp, j)Ill>>lo~yCONSTRUCTION, INC.
Joe survived all those dances and,no doubt, some of the brawls and hasremained a bachelor all of his life.Marriage scared him, hc said. "Everytime one of my girlfriends would starttalking about marriage, I'd get kind ofspooky," he grinned.
Joc has one adopted granddaughter,in spite of his bachelorhood. Severalyears ago, he would have died from aruptured gall bladder if it hadn't been fora good neighbor and friend who tookhim to the hospital. While at theadmissions off'ice, the receptionist re-quested the name of Joe's immediatekin. Debbie Pearson, knowing Joc didn'
have a wife or kids, told the receptionistthat Joe was her grandpa and she wantedmedical attention for him. She has beenkin to him ever since. "She saved mylife," Joe said.
Joe has had other close calls in hislife. In the late forties, he rolled a catwhile logging on thc Grecnough Ranch.He lost one leg as a result, and spentseveral months in the hospital af'tcr-wards. But he picked up the pieces and
for the next 16 years worked as a ranchhand on the Morris Ranch near Green-ough. "There was no welfare then," hesaid, frustrated about the apparent lackof ambition by some young peopletoday.
Meanwhile, Joe will celebrate his
80th birthday in January. He and his
dog, Twiggy, and three cats, have lived
peacefully along the Blackfoot River forseveral years now, and Joe admits that itdoesn't take much to keep him busy. Heraises a garden in the summer, full ofcarrots, peas, lettuce and beets, and ycar-round he nurtures houseplants thatthrive in his living room. This year hebought most of his firewood, but hassplit it into smaller pieces, working alitt!e bit at a time on it. Asked if he haddetected any signs of a hard winter, hechuckled: "None, cxccpt my woodpile."

Pheasanthunters andgrizzlies don'
Checkingstation stopmandatory
mix Captain Earle Davis, with theMontana Deparunent of Fish, Wildlif'eand Parks, reminds hunters that "theymust stop at checking stations."
According to Davis, "in 1973 theSlate Legislature made it mandatory thatall hunters must stop and report."
"In recent years hunters have beencomplying with the regulation and wehope it continues," Davis stated. Bothsuccessful and unsuccessful huntersmust stop.
Checking station information pro-vides valuable data for game manage-ment.
DFWP will be making an extensiveeffort to enforce the checking stationregulations this season.
This fall Confcderaled Salish andKootenai tribal wardens and Departmentof Fish, Wildlife and Parks personnelare working together to inform pheasanthunters in Lake County about grizzlybears in the Post Creek area, east ofHighway 93 in the Mission Valley.
Lands with thick brush or timbercover, orchards, creek bottoms and sitesknown to be visited by grizzlies arebeing signed and pheasant hunterswarned not to hunt these areas.
Last year lwo Missoula pheasanthunters confronted a female grizzly withof'fspring while hunting in a brushydraw north of St. Ignatius, near PostCreek. The grizzly charged, injuring oneof the hunters and thc sow was mortallywounded. His partner fired at yct anothergrizzly, raising concerns about twowounded grizzly bears in thc area.
Tribal officials surprised the secondgrizzly while investigating thc incident,and that bear was dcstroycd.
To minimize possible grizzlyconfrontations, pheasant hunters arc en-couraged to:
-stay away from known grizzlyhabitat
-not hunt in or near fruit orchards-avoid hunting along watercourscs
or in dense cover-acknowledge the warning signs,
particularly in thc Post Creek area of theMission Valley.
There is no grizzly bear huntingseason on the Flathead Indian Reser-vation. The population in the MissionMountains is believed to be less than 40animals. After freezing temperatures hitthe high country in September, most ofthese bears move down to the lowlandsto feed on fruit and carrion before goinginto hibernation in November.

The FamByUnder Fireby Christopher Williams
Approximately eighty people tumedout to sce the fourth film of six in thc"Turn Your Heart Toward Home" series.Dr. Dobson in this film, The FamilyUnder Fire, encouraged greater parentalawareness and involvement in thc publicarena of areas that affect thc family.
He spoke specifically about abor-tion and pornography, stating that"most Christians are rather na'ive aboutpornography." Those obsessed withsuch materials are tryin'g to feed aninsatiable appetite. The "porn" industryhas moved beyond mere nudity andsexual exploitation into the more baseareas of mutilation and defecation, toextreme violence.

The opposition to pro-familymovements is highly organized andamply funded, while most Christianstend to be apathetic when it comes tobeing involved in social issues. Only2% of the American population everwrite a letter to Washington supportingsomething in which they believe. Onthe other hand, sometimes as few asfif'teen to twenty Icuers may influence aCongressman on a given issue. Wc dohave great potential as Christians toinfluence the system simply by writinga letter.
A lively discussion followed thefilm, rcflccting thc concern which areaparents have for the quality of socialenvironment in which their children will
bc raised. Of particular and immediateconcern was the nccd l'or our community
to designate onc night a wcck as afamily night. With the many pressureson our young people, the sentiment ofthose gathered was that this should be apriori ty.
Dr. Dobson concluded by stalingthat one way everyone can get involved
is through prayer. Pray about socialpolicy matters, he said.

What is a Christian?The name "Christian" is thrown
around a lot these days by all kinds ofpeople. We read about factions in theMiddle East who call themselves a"Christian" army and both sides of thefighting in northern Ireland would claimthe name for themselves as well. Oihers
say they are Christians because theywere born in America, a AChristianu
nation. Just what is a Christian?The New Testament book of Acts
answers our question. In Acts 11:26weare told eand the disciples were firstcalled Christians in Antioch." Clearly,the Bible is saying that a Christian is adisciple, and we know what a discipleis. A disciple is a person who follows aparticular teacher and subscribes to thatteacher's teachings. Obviously, the Per-son a Christian follows is identifiedwithin the title itself, Christ, theMessiah, the Lord Jesus Christ. AChristian is a follower of Jesus Christ.Only those who have determined tofollow Christ have the right to claimthe title.
How do you "follow" Jesus Christ?If we go back to the days when Jesuswas on earth, the meaning becomesmuch clearer:
And walking by the Sea ofGalilee, He (Jesus) saw twobrothers, Simon who wascalled Peter, and Andrew hisbrother, casting a nct into thesea; for they were fishermen.And He said to them, "FollowMe, and I will make youfishers of mcn.u And theyimmediately left the nets andfollowed Him. (Matt. 4:18-20)
Peter and Andrew and the otherdisciples literally "followed" Jesusthroughout Palestine, having to leavetheir jobs, homes, families, and friends
to do so. They had to make a choice,"Shall I stay home and pursue the
things I have been focusing my lifeupon or shall I turn from them and
respond to Jesus'nvitation?" Only ifthey followed could they claim to be adisciple, a Christian.
It is really no different at all today.The Lord Jesus is still calling upon youand me to follow Him. And if wc would
do so, we must first decide if we arewilling to stop following whateverother "teacher" we'e been giving ourloyalties to (money, power, falsereligious teachings, prestige, etc.). Wemust turn from them to Him. That iswhat thc Bible calls urcpentance" and noone will ever have their sins forgivenwho has not repented.
Who or what are you following?Can you claim thc name "Christian?"

The Ancient Artof Writing
Calligraphy is an art form whichcarries a spiritual awakening, accordingto Jeanne Moon, and the hours slip byswiftly when she is working with herbrushes and pens and ideas. JeanneMoon is a calligrapher from SeeleyLake who regularly practices thiselegant mix of penmanship and arL
Throughout history, messages havebeen hand-recorded. "It's a unique artform that can appeal to anybody," Moonsaid, adding that words are only oneaspect of the piece.
"Many calligraphers are spiritualpeople," she observed. RIt's a revealing
. art form. You can't hide youremotions," she added, explaining thatthe flourishes, circles and freeform lines
framing the message all add to thegeneral impression of a piece. "Somuch
of the art is non-verbal, even thoughthere are messages within the words,"Moon explained. "There is an intensefreedom to...create your own design,as opposed to typeset messages."
Moon has been creating calligraphic
gifts for years, but since 1980 she has
focused on calligraphy as an art. Thereis an organized element in Montanawhich promotes and teaches calligraphy
and, also, encourages artists to pursuetheir calligraphic skills. Jeanne is amember of Big Sky Scribes (aka Writers
of the Purple Sage) and ihe MissoulaCalligraphers Guild. Both groups have
lending libraries, regular calligraphydemonstrations and juried art shows toencourage calligraphers.
Jeanne's hobby has turned into abusiness in recent years, as morc and
more people request custom-made piecessuch as family trees, special poems and
signs. RI was shocked to I'ind peoplewould pay me to do...something that
I love so much," shc chuckled. In
addition to many commissioned orders
for gift items, she recently created a signfor an international llama conventionheld in Kalispell, and a current project isthe design and lay-up of the new SceleyLake PTA calendars.
Seeley Lake residents have seenJeanne's work on many local posters.She is public aff'airs chairman for thePTA and, for the past two years, she has
penned dozens of announcements for the
volunteer organization. Her artwork hasalso been displayed at Artistic Express-
. ions in Seeley Lake, and she plans toenter her first "juried" show through the
calligrapher's guild in 1987. ("Juried"means judges screen all applicants to the
show for quality, composition andartistic originality.)

Jeanne Moon, Calligrapher, dis-plays a sign she recently cre-ated.
Jeanne uses watercolor techniquesto add texture to her work when sheprepares family trees, certiTicatcs ofaward, and commissioned pieces such asanniversary announcements. She has adegree in interpersonal communicationsfrom U of M, and is skilled at helpingpeople write messages for specialoccasions. Her educauon, together withpractical skills gained from three
years'ervice
in the Navy, have given her anedge on public relations. She alsocomposes business cards, menus, signsand ads.
Jeanne's grandfather was a profes-sional signpainter, and she inheritedmany of his tools and his love forletters. AThcre's a connection," shelaughed.
Jeanne was born and raised inMinnesota and is the middle child m afamily that includes nine brothers andsisters. She and her husband, Colin, aMontana native, moved to Sceley Lakein 1981.They have one daughter, Kate,who is three years old. Jeanne's priorityright now is spending time with herfamily, although she sees a lifelongcareer for herself in calligraphy. "It'
something I can do 1'orever. It doesn'
depend on youth. I don't want to be doneworking when I'm seventy,u shelaughed.

Snow! We had a dusting of snow
last wcck, a fcw hundred yards up thcmountainside from our yard, Last yearour first snowfall here was Scptcmbcr23-!hat was in the yard.
Or Friday wc drove to Missoulaearly in the morning, and GrcenoughHill was snowcovercd. The trees, allflocked in white, made me fccl a liuleuncomfortable in my tennis shoes.Better dig out thc snowboots -SOON!
The Indian Summer is finally here.The I'antastic color in the aspen, birchand cottonwood lasted barely a wcck,though, as most of the trees, andespecially the bushes, have now losttheir leaves. A visitor last wcck won-dered about the "diseased" larch trccswhich are sparkling and golden in the
sun. I explained that they arc not true
conifers and lose their needles each I'all,
and was quietly reminded of how luckywe are to live in one of the fcw placeswhere the larch trees thrive amongst the
lodgepole, spruce and fir.
A friend found a "larch ball" alreadyat Lake Alva. She was searchingbcncath thc willows and came upon abaseball-sized spccimcn. In about twowccks, wc'll probably lind many morc.(Those woods'acrics work prcuy hardthis time of year, putting togetherMother Nature's round gifts of gold.) Ifyou'rc around a lake this week, bc sureand keep an eye open tor these peculiarcreations.
A neighbor stopped by the otherday. Said hc was nose to nose with ablack bear on his front porch oncmorning last week. Ncithcr lingeredover introductions as the black bearhcadcd for the hills in a hurry.
We have had a downy woodpeckerdining on some sort of bug in the lilac
bush this past week. Still haven'
figured out what the attraction is, but he
seems bent on sticking around, in spite
of the cat who has watched his everymove.

Rural plansdiscussed
Rural plans addressing developmentand land use should be compiled byresidents of those rural areas and not bythe county commissioners, according toJanet Stevens, commissioner.
"We want rural areas to create theirown destiny," she said last week. Thecounty commissioners have recentlybeen reviewing the Condon-Swan Val-ley comprehensive plan submitted tothem several months ago by residents ofthe area. The subject of rural planninghas been addressed in conjunction with
that rcvicw and, also, bccausc of therecent reorganization of thc planningdepartment at thc county level.
Stevens said that discussion at arecent rural planning meeting centeredaround the idea that residents of com-munitics such as Condon and ScclcyLake should look toward thc future. Byassessing their common goals, theyshould determine where they want to betwenty years from now.
Condon rcsidcnts have already donethat, as cvidcnced by submission oftheir comprchensivc plan. After a fcwmore meetings between residents and
planning stal'f, that plan will probablybe added to the existing MissoulaCounty Comprehensive Plan.
The commissioners see their job asone of helping communities reach theirland use and development goals. Forexample, Stevens believes that someresidents of the Seeley Lake area would,like to sce substantial economic dev-elopment in the future. If those residents
have the support of the community and
prepare a community plan to bc included
in the county-wide plan, then commis-sioners would help the communityachieve some of its goals.
LODGE
"Our job is to help you get fromhere... to there," Stevens said, drawinga diagram of present-day dcvclopmentand land use compared to futuredevelopment goals. She pointed out thatcommissioners could help with acquis-ition of funds from community blockgrants.
