Jumping over the competition

Plans are needed
by Emily Petrovski
“It’s better to just get as much information as we can,” Kari Smith said at a meeting with the Philipsburg Town Council last week.
Smith, a Policy Advisor with the Water Quality Division of the State Department of Environmental Quality was meeting with the town to go over their plan for coming within their administrative order on consent.
The town has been out of compliance with the DEQ since before 2004, Smith noted. Now, both the Town and the DEQ need to show that they are working to fix the non-compliance issue.
The Town of Philipsburg needs to take it seriously and have a plan, Smith said.
The Town is out of compliance with their discharge permit, leading to an administrative order on consent years ago, which the town is out of compliance with as well. The next step if the town does not put forth a plan would be court, where a judge would dictate future steps, Smith said. But the DEQ does not want to get to that stage, she clarified.
Suspended sentence for negligent endangerment after baby dies
by Emily Petrovski
“There was a loss of life here,” the Hon. Judge Ray Dayton said at Heather Hill’s sentencing hearing last Thursday.
Heather A* Hill, 41, was sentenced to one year in jail for each of her three misdemeanor convictions, with the balance of her time suspended after the 2014 death of her six-month-old son.
Hill was ordered to undergo drug and alcohol treatment through Share House in Missoula. If she fails to complete that treatment, she would be sent back to jail for the remainder of her sentence.
“Please don’t squander the opportunity you’re being given,” Judge Dayton said.
The previous week, Hill entered a no contest plea pursuant to a plea agreement made with the county attorney. The plea agreement reduced the felony criminal endangerment charge to three misdemeanor charges of negligent endangerment. The sentence requires monitoring through Compliance Monitoring Systems, a company in Missoula. She would not be monitored through the Department of Corrections because the charges are misdemeanors.
Flint Creek Titans steamroll Seeley Blackhawks Friday
by Larry Hull
The Flint Creek Titans run their record to 6 wins against no losses as the steamrolled the Blackhawks from Seeley in Philipsburg, last Friday, October 6. The final score was 68-16.
The win sets up a showdown in Charlo this Friday, the 13th. It pits the winners of the West Conference (Charlo of) the Western Division against the East Conference (Flint Creek) to determine the top spot in the division.
The Titans won the coin toss and deferred to the third period. The kick-off by Colby Manley sailed into the end zone. The Blackhawks (‘Hawks) began their first drive at their own 15-yard line. The home team’s defense forced a punt.
The Titans began their opening drive from their 20. A series of runs by Colton Grange and Manley took the ball to the 17 of the ‘Hawks. Grange then threw a near perfect pass to Jaxon Lee for the touchdown. A procedure penalty moved the ball to the 8, and the run by Manley for the PAT was no good.
