Serving Proudly As The Voice Of Valley County Since 1913

By Samar FayCourier editorAnnual assessments for the county refuse disposal district were raised by the Valley County commissioners today. No one attended yesterday’s hearing to comment on the increase.The basic assessment, levied

on every family residential unit in the county, was raised from $85 to $120. The resolution states that the commercial and industrial rates are based on a comparison with a typical residential unit as to vol-ume and type of waste produced.Some categories of waste were raised $5 over the previous charge.

The new per-ton rates are out of county tonnage – $37.50, con-tractor – $30, clean up materi-als – $25, road asphalt – $37.50, contaminated soil with gas – $27, contaminated soil with diesel – $35 and meth clean up – $34.50.A few categories remained the same: tires – $150, asbestos – $140

and human sewage waste – $10.The commissioners said the increase is necessary because of the rising costs of fuel, equip-ment, labor and contractor fees. The Refuse Board and the com-missioners are also aware that a new bulldozer will be needed at the landfill soon.

By Samar FayCourier editorA Montana woman recently re-leased from jail went missing from a Glasgow motel on Oct. 2. Glasgow Police Chief Bruce Barstad has called in the Montana Department of Crimi-nal Investigation on the case and has asked for the public’s help in locating Cynthia K. Picton, age 42. She is white with shoulder-length blond hair, 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing 105 pounds.Police believe she may be with a

boyfriend, Robert Keith Briscoe, who was released from the Wolf Point jail on Oct. 1. Briscoe, 36, is white, 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighs 160 pounds, and has short dark hair with a receding hairline.Briscoe attempted to contact Picton on Oct. 1. In the early hours of Oct. 2, a motel employee reported that Picton and her car, a 2006 gray Nissan Altima with Montana plates 6-25871A, were gone.

Law enforcement investigated

Picton’s room and, based on informa-tion obtained, listed her as a missing person. They don’t know where she has gone or if foul play is involved.“We are looking at it as a missing person case,” said Chief Barstad. “We will err on the side of caution.”Glasgow and state authorities have put out alerts across the region on Picton, her car and Briscoe.Anyone with information about them can call the Glasgow Police Department, 406-228-4333.

Farmers And Ranchers Close Land To Hunting; Fundraiser Planned To Support Lawsuit

‘Those Kids are My Kids’, Dinner

honoree says

By Samar FayCourier editorFarmers and ranchers in Valley and Phillips counties, the grassy prairie that some envision as an American Serengeti for free-roaming bison, have turned their opposition to this plan back on Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks in a new way. To demon-strate that they do not accept FWP’s translocation of Yellowstone bison to northeast Montana, about 70 landowners have cut years-long ties with FWP’s game management programs and the hunter friends they have hosted on their land.The decisions have been announced in newspa-per advertisements in The Courier and The Phillips County News. The first to make the public move were the Stonebergs on Horse Ranch, some 40 miles south of Hinsdale on Timber Creek, the home of Ron and Rose Stoneberg, and their daughter Sierra Holt, her husband, Jason Holt, and their daughter, Zora.Their Aug. 15 ad stated that Horse Ranch was no longer in FWP’s Block Management program, which pays landowners to open almost 8 mil-lion acres of private property to public hunting. “We are against state FWP policies that adversely affect hunters and landowners,” they said, without referring specifically to bison relocation, although all of the adult members of the family have written opinion pieces on the subject.The ad said hunters were welcome and should come to the ranch house for permission to hunt.Two weeks later, eight farms and ranches in north Valley County announced that they were closed to all hunting because of FWP management decisions and fire danger. That ad has been running continu-ously for seven weeks.

On Sept. 19, the names of 48 landowners, mostly

An account has been set up at Valley Bank of Glasgow to help with medical expenses for Myron “Magoo” Blanchard and his daughter, Georgie Kulczyk, who are both battling cancer and spending extensive time away from Glasgow while undergo-ing treatment.Please make donations payable to “Blanchard Medical Fund” if you are able to help this family. It would be very much appreciated.There is a fundraiser being planned for early November, including a beef dinner, live and silent auctions, raffles and games, and probably music. More information will follow as the details are ironed out.

If you would like to donate items or gift cer-tificates for this fundraiser, please call Jody Faul at 263-7454 or Rick Stellflug at 263-9333, and they will be glad to pick up your donation.

By Samar FayCourier editorAbsentee ballots were sent out to Montana voters on Tuesday, so they can buckle down to winnowing their choices on a lot of important races. Unless a voter lives off the grid, it is impossible to be unaware of the battles going on – and even that person gets hectored by mail appeals.

The presidential, Senate and House elections are making a lot of noise, as

are the major statewide contests, where the top five positions are in play, and the legislative races. Five ballot issues are before the voters and there is also an open seat on the Montana Supreme Court.For area voters, there are just three contested local races; the rest are unop-posed.In Montana’s Senate District 18, the candidates are both from Scobey. The incumbent, Republican John Brenden,

is being challenged by Democrat Julie French.House District 35 features two new-comers to politics, Democrat Floyd Hopstad of Glasgow and Republican Mike Lang of Malta.

Valley County Commissioner Bruce Peterson is seeking a second term. He is being challenged by a write-in candidate, John Fahlgren. Local elections in Valley County are non-partisan.The candidates for these offices will

be invited to answer questions, which will be printed in The Courier later this month.The unopposed local legislative candidates are incumbent Sen. Jonathan Windy Boy (D-Box Elder) in SD 16, Bridget Smith (D-Wolf Point) in HD 31, Clarena Brockie (D-Harlem), who beat the two-term incumbent, Tony Belcourt, in HD 32, and Austin Knudsen (R-Culbertson) in HD 36.In the county, Clerk of District Court

Shelley Bryan has filed for re-election. Absentee voters don’t have to rush to drop their ballot in the mailbox. Sometimes events take strange turns and change people’s decision. Just return the ballot by Election Day, Nov. 6. Those who have not requested an absentee ballot can still see a sample ballot for their precinct on the Montana Secretary of State’s website, sos.mt.gov.
