This week will tell us much about Fort Ann's new supervisor

We get to see what type of supervisor Darlene Dumas is going to be in Fort Ann this week.

She assured voters there would be change if she was elected and there would be transparency in her administration. Fort Ann could use a picture window full of transparency this week.

If you've been following the story, one of the town's plow truck drivers was arrested for driving while intoxicated back in September. It was his second DWI arrest in the past decade. But oddly enough, he was never arraigned on this charge. Not in September. Not in October and he almost made it through December, until a story ran in the newspaper.

The worker, coincidentally, was the son of a Fort Ann Town Board member and the town's court clerk. But people make mistakes, files are lost, court dates postponed, things slip through the cracks. It all could be quite innocent. It doesn't have to be something sinister.

But I'm guessing that's not what the average person sees.

The average person believes those that are connected often receive favors and backroom deals.

Happy Thanksgiving in Missoula! « Missoula Red Tape

by admin

The sparkly trees are going up in the newsroom and the little lights are shining. I’m still coming down from Thanksgiving, though.

I made my first turkey roulade, and I didn’t screw it up. In fact, it tasted wonderful and looked beautiful. My sweetie’s uncle taught me how to do a butcher’s wrap to tie it, and I wouldn’t have been embarrassed if Martha Stewart had dropped in for a slice.

I saw how busy folks were with comments about the parking garage when I came back. I’m going to follow up maybe next week on the costs of the garage, and if there’s information that should see the light of day, please holler here or shoot me at note at keila.szpaller@missoulian.com.

I know this post is late. I was so on time for Veterans Day, but Hanukkah is in full swing and here I am posting about Thanksgiving. It’s such a great holiday, though. Friends and cheesy puffs.

I was thinking of the people I’m thankful for on my beat. The neat thing about stories is they can change the way you see things.

End of Holiday, End of Big Snow

by Mama Pea

Our neighbors are out of town for eight days but left their plow truck with us to use in case of snow. Early yesterday morning hubby went to plow out their long driveway and enough of their yard so it was easy to get to their back door entry. Then he did our yard area and driveway. It took him more than three hours of laboriously moving very heavy, wet snow/slush. Last night the temperature dropped to 4 degrees so he's very glad he did the work before the snow froze into a concrete-like mass. Our Thanksgiving Day didn't turn out quite as we had expected. The snow altered our plans because our daughter had those 12" of new snow to deal with before she could head in to our place. She cleaned her yard and house area and then called to say she was leaving with the plow truck and would plow a single lane down her four mile winter driveway on her way out. (No easy task when you're plowing 12" of wet snow.) Then when she headed home after a much shortened Thanksgiving Day here, she plowed her way back in widening the road.

Jen - Our day was so short that we spent the whole time yakking away like we hadn't talked in AGES. I think it was because we haven't had any extended period of really catching up for a while. So, no, we didn't get in any exercise as we had thought about . . . but maybe the morning of snow removal counted for enough of it!

I remember well lines freezing like it was yesterday, it was that traumatic! We had a windmlll/water pump ABOVE GROUND exposed LOL on top of a hill in the MN winds and winter weather - that baby would freeze tight and we'd all have to pack up and go stay at grandma's house "in town"! The thought of "washboard ice skating" made me laugh! Glad at least Chicken Mama got to your place for awhile, I was wondering after she posted about her trip home the night before.

Erin - Chicken Mama did give thought yesterday morning to postponing our Thanksgiving Day until today. But then she went out and decided since she had to plow out the 4 mile driveway anyway, she might as well keep coming to our house. It was just a shame the day was so short by the time she got here. But, as you well know, so it goes in the winter in Minnie-soda!
