The Singing Strommen Sisters
Summer and McKenna Strommen were part of the Christmas Program at Nemont Manor last night, and
can these girls sing! After solo performances they did a duet together, Suzy Snowflake. Truth be told, all
the music students of Colleen Thompson performed wonderfully to a packed house (or shall we say packed
basement) as there was standing room only. A wonderful show indeed. Ho, ho, ho, Merrrrry Christmas!
Overheard at the VFW
It was in the midst of a hot pinochle game at the

VFW yesterday afternoon and Fast Eddy says, Im
going to live at least another four months, Fish.

Oh, is that right? answers Fish (Myrel).

Yep, I went to see the doctor today and he told me,
Ill see you again in four months!
Speaking of the VFW, dont forget their Christmas
party tonight, serving turkey dinner to all Veterans at
6:00 followed by an awards ceremony.
Up to the Glasgow voters

Future Fisheries program meets
For nearly two decades, Montana Fish, Wildlife

& Parks Future Fisheries Improvement Program has
worked to restore rivers, streams and lakes to improve
and restore Montanas wild fish habitats. Between
$350,000 and $650,000 are available each year for
projects that revitalize wild fish populations. Any entity
proposing a good project that would benefit wild fish
will be considered for funding.
The Future Fisheries Improvement Programs
citizen review panel met in Helena today to review
project applications for the winter funding cycle and
prepare recommendations that the Montana Fish &
Wildlife Commission will review in March.
The
governor-appointed
panel
makes
recommendations on funding for projects to restore or
improve Montanas wild and native fish habitat. Today
the panel was to review 22 applications requesting about
$726,000.
Individuals or groups with opportunities to
restore or improve wild and native fish habitat may
apply for Future Fisheries Improvement Program
grants. Landowners and other project partners usually
share project costs, which extends Future Fisheries
Improvement Program funding.

Consider a Future Fisheries project to:
improve or maintain fish passage;
restore or protect natural stream banks and channels;
restore or protect nearby natural riparian and
wetland areas;
restore habitat for cutthroat trout and bull trout in
areas affected by mining;
prevent loss of fish into irrigation diversions;
restore or protect spawning habitats;
enhance stream flows;
restore or protect genetically pure native fish; or
improve fishing in a lake or reservoir.
Funds used to implement the Future Fisheries
Improvement Program originate from the sale of
Montana fishing licenses. A portion of the funding also
comes from a portion of the interest generated from
Montanas Resource Indemnity Trust Fund (RIT).
Applicants are encouraged to work with local area
FWP fisheries biologists. The next deadline to submit
project applications is June 1, 2015. Good projects
benefiting wild fish, originating from virtually any
source, will be considered for funding.
For more information on the Future Fisheries
Improvement Program, or to comment on the projects
under review, visit FWPs website at fwp.mt.gov.

Due Diligence...
NORTH VALLEY COUNTY CONDO ASSOCIATION-

NVCCA meetings have been taking place at the Sheltons
residence. Some questions arise:
1. Are these activities and goals operating within Montana
Law or legal documents as recognized by an attorney or
Judge?
2. Two attorneys DID NOT attend the last meeting of
Dec. 8th as mentioned in the meeting notice, have ALL
corporate requirements been met to operate as a CONDO
ASSOCIATION at this time?
3. Did Mr. Dale file with the Sec. of State as a CORPORATION
or a CONDO ASSOCIATION CORPORATION?
4. Mr.s Kelly, Bethea, Terry-Lee, and Shelton were named
to a COMMITTEE to review the covenants and bylaws
and possible modifications, TRUE?
5. Is the possible change to ALLOW members to vote and
serve on the association board even if they DONT PAY
their association dues?
6. The goal and reason to resurrect NVCCA was to clean
up property titles, but are they not clouded by their own
hand by tax, water, and association LIENS as a result of
their own lacking. Have DEVELOPERS paid their bills,
fixed and sold many units to date?
7. The INVESTOR/DEVELOPERS owning many of the
750 NVCCA condo units stated that they DID NOT WISH
to SERVE on the NVCCA board. But could their many
votes control the actions of the board anyhow? Could they
vote to LIEN and FORECLOSE on others and EXCLUDE
THEMSELVES from foreclosure for not paying monthly
dues by some filed resolution?
8. As Mr. Bethea questioned: Was Kellys article 4 legal?
Are there 106 or 750 condo unit members in NVCCA?
An ATTORNEY or JUDGE must answer these questions,
not wishing, hoping, or guessing individuals. What is
Mr. Mitchells position on these meetings with his 350
NVCCA units?
9. Were nominations made for upcoming elections of
BOARD DIRECTORS as stated on the agenda? Is such
an ELECTION LEGAL? Have all NVCCA owners been
notified? Where is the members list of addresses, phone
numbers, and E-mail addresses?
10. Open discussion was invited per the meeting agenda of
Dec. 8th.- This along with a Due Diligence effort prompted
these questions. CORRUPTION, EMBEZZLEMENT, or
EXTORTION as suspected in past NVCCA activities will
not be tolerated this time around.

Scientists Announce Friday Best

Time To Look Directly At Sun
Citing an ideal absence of obstructive cloud
cover, scientists at the National Solar Observatory
announced that Friday will be one of the best times
for people to look directly at the sun.
From approximately 12:45 p.m. to 2:45 p.m.
Montana Standard Time, people living in the Northern
Hemisphere will have a magnificent opportunity to
look straight into our closest star, said NSO director
Valentin Pillet, adding that everyone in the United
States should be able to enjoy the astronomical event
just by looking up at the sky and directing their gaze
to the most intensely bright object they can find.
The best way to take advantage of Fridays
sun is to keep your eyes wide opensquinting, or
even blinking, can compromise the viewand to
avoid unnecessary filters such as sunglasses, which
diminish some of the most impressive features of the
solar surface.

For those who miss the sun on Friday, Pillet said
scientists were optimistic that it would make another
appearance within most Americans lifetimes.

nose - thats a Montana Winter.
Montanans have adapted over the years. We will
joke about the temperatures and the depth of the snow
and tell stories of years past. If you are one of those or
new to the area and havent experienced a Montana
winterdo you know how to prepare? It could be 50
above one day and 30 below with winds blowing just
as fast the next. That day is not the day to think about
preparing. Here are just a few things that we all need to
remember
Frostbite is serious so good outerwear should be
the first thing you should purchase. Look for items that
protect you to temps well below zero, boots, coats, hats,
gloves and snow pants. If you and your loved ones will
be outside make sure they have protective wear that
will cover all exposed skin. Have fun and enjoy the
winter but know the warning signs of hypothermia and
frostbite. For more information go to: www. Emergency.
cdc.gov/disasters/winter/faq.asp
Your home also needs attention prior to winter
settling in because our Montana Winters last a while.
Your home will be the warm spot for you and your loved
ones so make sure it is ready and safe. Everyone should
have a working carbon monoxide and smoke detector.
Make sure your doors and windows keep out the cold
and wind; cover them if needed but, keep in mind you
may need them for an emergency exit. Make sure your
pipes are exposed to warm air, wrapped with heat tape
or remain dripping in extreme cold temperatures. Check
your ventilation system and keep it free of snow and ice.
Keep your entrances and walkways free of snow and ice,
falling in cold temperature and not being able to get up
could cost a life. Keep survival supplies on hand because
your home could be your shelter for a few days or more
during one of our Montana Winters.

The temperatures will affect your vehicle so be sure
to get it winterized before winter starts. Install a block
heater if it doesnt have one, check your coolant levels,
battery, tires, breaks, lights, and wipers. Switch to winter
fuel if you drive a diesel or add an additive if you drive a
