District champs
It was a tough road that the Lady Trojans travelled in their quest for the title of District 13 Champions at Valley Christian, Oct. 28-30. They played seven matches over the three-day span of the tournament. They had to defeat the top-seeded Lady Blackhawks twice to sit on the top wrung. And they did it with 3-1 and 3-2 matches.
Their long trek began with the Lady Tigers from Darby. The scores of this one were 25-19, 27-25 and 25-15.
This match set up round three between the two county rivals. The scores of this one were 26-28, 26-24, 24-26, 25-22 and 10-12.
The loss had the Lady Trojans up against the Lady Pirates from Victor. It was Drummond in three with the scores of 25-23, 28-26 and 25-22.
Next was the home team, the Lady Eagles. This one took four game to settle this. The Lady Trojans won with the scores of 23-25, 28-26, 25-20 and 25-22.
Philipsburg Senior Center receives grant for architecture
The Philipsburg Senior Community Center recently received notice of a Community Development Block Grant funding award that will be used for a preliminary architectural report.
The first step in the new senior and community center is the grant, Grant Writer Maureen Connors told county commissioners last week.
Connors told the Commissioners they were a huge component of making that process work.
Connors noted the project— the preliminary architectural report will be completed in a year.
Senator Tester talks infrastructure package, pushes vote
Sen. Jon Tester held a press call last week to talk about the bipartisan infrastructure package and the push to reopen the northern border of the state.
Last week, a framework deal was announced on a reconciliation package that Tester said would create good-paying jobs.
Tester did note that one proposal was not included in the reconciliation package released last week, after his urging. The “stepped-up basis” provision of the tax code, which was negotiated in as part of the pay-for for the package, was removed.
Under current law, when an asset is inherited following the death of the owner, the assets value, for tax purposes, is increased to the property’s fair market value at the date of death.
