Holiday cheer
Ella Tallon looks for kids in need of parade treats during Friday’s lighted parade. See more Scott Sylvester photos and parade results on pages 10 - 11.
Needed, done
“I just did it because it needed done,” was the explanation a hesitant to talk Dave Kesler III gave the Philipsburg Mail when the paper learned that he had led a broad coalition of people who decided that Gus Fitz and his mother, Lucinda, needed a better way of getting to school. Kesler was dropping off his daughter, Kelly, for classes at Philipsburg Elementary when he noticed that Mrs. Fitz was struggling to get Gus’ wheelchair from the family vehicle.
Educational grant looks to get workers up to speed
“We have people here who are looking for jobs at these places and they’re not even prepared to work at the hospital, or at a veterinary clinic, or out on a ranch,” said Sue Huffman, Vice President of the Philipsburg Area Educational Foundation (PAEF). The mission of PAEF is to provide educational opportunities for the residents of Granite County.

A short blurb and a mugshot of Christopher Michael Sapp appeared in last week’s Philipsburg Mail, incorrectly identifying him as a sexual violent offender. The information was provided to the Mail by the Granite County Sheriff’s office, in their weekly listings known as “The Blotter.”
Sheriff Scott Dunkerson, when learning of the mistake, immediately called the newspaper to seek a retraction.

So why should we now believe that it has ceased to work and that chaos is better than compromise?
It was compromise that wrought this great country.
