When the ladies of Yaak Women’s Club decided it was time to get a new wood-burning stove for the Yaak Community Hall, they sought out Fred Seton of Therm-A-Volt Inc. The stove the ladies were interested in ran for $3,000, but Seton had a different kind of exchange in mind. Seton proposed a swap: his stove for a hand-made circle quilt.
“We are very happy with the swap,” Mary Loney of the Yaak Women’s Club said. “The stove provides more consistent heat and holds the fire for a lot longer than what we had before.”
The quilt is the product of a dozen women’s yearlong labor.
“It was a new design for all of us,” Loney said. “It was a lot of hand-quilting and fabric cutting.”
Seton is happy with the trade as well. He has donated several stoves to area causes and says he was happy to help.
The Yaak Women’s Club is dedicated to promote the welfare and integrity of the Yaak community as a whole, working together to create a financial base through quilting, crafting and volunteerism to support the Yaak Community Hall and lend support to other worthwhile projects.

Announcing Libby Loggers football games this year is a predictable endeavor. With the passing game aching from the absence of graduated All-State quarterback Jared Winslow, the Loggers are a committed ground team. Reminiscent of the era when offenses were pleased with three yards and a cloud of dust, the Loggers run game repeatedly rams the ball right into the teeth of the opposing defense.
