St. Regis School is holding a mill levy election on May 2 with two polling places in St. Regis and DeBorgia.
The mill levy proposition is to finance the school’s Technology Fund for $50,000 per year for 10 years, and will be approximately 9.98 mills.
The levy will be used to fund the purchase, renting, repairing and maintaining technological equipment, including computers and computer network access, cloud computing services, platform, software, network, storage, security, data, database, test environment, curriculum, or desktop virtualization purposes, including subscription or any license-based or pay-per-use services accessed over the internet or other remote network, and the associated technical training for school district personnel.
Passage of the proposal will increase the taxes on a home with a market value of $100,000 by approximately $13.47 and on a home with a market value of $200,000 by approximately $26.95.

Bears seeking food sources ahead of hibernation
Montana is bear country. Black bears and grizzly bears are very active right now as denning season approaches. Bears are actively seeking food sources before winter, and residents are advised to clean up or secure food attractants, such as garbage, dog food, and livestock. Bears are particularly seeking out natural fruits, such as berries, and domestic fruits, such as apples and pears. Residents are advised to pick up any fallen fruit from their property to help prevent attracting a bear.
Rendezvousing with the past
A rugged group of individuals with a thirst for adventure and fortune made their way west after the Lewis and Clark Expedition – after some time in the wilderness they would rendezvous in places like St. Louis to trade fur and goods as well as engage in friendly competition. Stories of daring and close escapes from Indians were swapped around a campfire by people like John Colter, who ran hundreds of miles in nothing but his Birthday suit to get safely back to civilization.
