Schnebel will bring integrity, fresh ideas to commissioner race
Steve Gniadek | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 11 years, 3 months AGO
Stacey Schnebel will make an outstanding Flathead County commissioner.
In discussions with groups around the county she has demonstrated her desire to listen to all points of view and represent the interests of county residents, not special interests. She has worked hard to understand the issues that affect us all.
Stacey will bring integrity to the commission and be a reliable and dedicated representative of the people. We need a county commissioner who will bring fresh ideas, and effectively serve “we the people,” and not narrow special interest groups.
Vote for Stacey Schnebel if you believe in truly representative government. —Steve Gniadek, Columbia Falls

Gated Forest roads help wildlife
In the North Fork News column of March 7, Larry Wilson wrote that search and rescue (SAR) training has been “limited in recent years due to Forest Service closure of most public lands in the area.” Unless the Forest Service has been closing all access to large blocks of public lands, this statement is a gross distortion of facts.
