It's past time to get serious about wildfires
By Ellen Engstedt-Simpson
Montana Wood Products Association
Last Monday the Montana Legislature's Fire Suppression Interim Committee conducted a public meeting in Hamilton. The committee will travel to Lewistown, Miles City, Seeley Lake, Thompson Falls, and Libby in the coming weeks for similar public meetings to gather input from Montanans regarding wildfires and their impact on us.
The Legislature during a September 2007 Special Session established this committee and mandated the study to include an investigation of firefighting operations on all Montana lands and the success of those operations; efficient use of fire suppression resources; impacts of operations on private land and the effective use of private resources to fight fires; and, policies of state and federal forest management and how those policies may contribute to an increased number of wildfires, greater safety risk to firefighters, or compromised effectiveness of fire suppression efforts.

Track nears end of season
By FAITH MOLDAN / Bigfork Eagle
Eight personal bests are good things to come late in the season.
Cecily Whistler was the lone Val thrower to notch a PB at the Archie Roe meet in Kalispell on Saturday. She threw her best in both the shot put and the discus. Sophomore Garrett Hibbs threw 119-2 in the discus, while Brad Bell threw 143-8 in the javelin.

Elections slates didn't crowd the ballot
I'm writing this column the day before the election that will seat members to the Bigfork Land Use Advisory Committee, Bigfork Fire Department board of trustees and Flathead Valley Community College board of trustees. Across the lake in and around Lakeside, a similar slate of positions is being voted on.
And guess what? I can tell you how these boards will look tomorrow.

Great show
We come to Bigfork several times each year to visit our daughter and grandchildren, and we often enjoy a play or two while here. This past weekend was no exception, for we had a rollicking good time seeing the Bigfork High School players do their durndest with "Wagon Wheels a-Rollin'," a pure slapstick Western comedy which culminates in a shootout in the I'm-Okay-You're-Okay Corral. Congratulations to all involved in this production. One scene will forever stand high in my theater memories -- right up there with treasured bits from plays seen on stages in cities the likes of Toronto, New York, London and San Francisco: We in the audience of local community folks, of parents, relatives and friends of the players, had comfortably bought into our willing suspension of disbelief. The wagon train maiden had been kidnapped by four black-hatted bandits, and these dastardly guys were out in the lonesome valley discussing what to do with her. The sweet maiden faced the audience and was speaking at length in a woe-is-me-what-will-I-ever-do-now? aside, when the littlest bandit turned to his cohorts and jolted us all by asking them, bewildered, "Who is she talkin' to?!" The convoluted message in that Pirandelloesque line is what makes the theater the magic brain teaser that it is. Reality, anyone?
