C’mon in, the ice is fine
Trent Burden climbs onto the ice for a hockey game last week, after the Philipsburg Ice Association got its newly refurbished skating rink, including refrigeration, up and running.
Plea deal nixes trial
County Commissioner Scott Adler pled guilty last Friday in Anaconda, to misdemeanor theft. It was part of a plea deal that included dropping two other charges against him which, if convicted, would have forced his resignation from the commission.
Emergency Services looks for help with its new 5 year plan
Granite County’s Hazard Mitigation Plan, originally developed in 2013, has exceeded its five-year life span which puts the county at risk of losing federal dollars. So Officer Rick Day, who heads the Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) and the Department of Emergency Services (DES) for the county, is scheduling meetings, the first at Hall School from 6 to 7 p.m. on January 24.
Granite County’s new Public Health Nurse settles in
“I think that this is a big role in the community. I think that there’s a lot of different programs. It’s a lot of work, and I’m excited about it.” That is how Katie Muhly views her new role as the Granite County Public Health Nurse, the job she assumed just after the start of the new year. Muhly told the Mail that she decided to take on the position of Public Health Nurse because she loves the idea of working with the rural community in a clinical setting, and says that she finds the patient education and public safety aspects of the job to be especially interesting. Muhly is familiar with the position, having assisted former Public Health Nurse Annie Young with vaccinations and other tasks during Young’s tenure.
Unwritten rules plague many a small town.
Ours included. There’s good and bad in that situation, which is often dependent upon who you know. But most of us prefer to live in these sparsely populated mountains precisely because of the absence of rules - even though some cannot be escaped.
