Western News | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 8 years, 7 months AGO
The Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission will act on the Quiet Waters rule proposal in a meeting rescheduled for 8:30 a.m. May 26 at Montana WILD.
The proposed rules included language restricting motorized boating on a variety of rivers and streams across the state.
The meeting will be streamed live via video conferencing at all regional commission offices. Public comments will be taken at the meeting and can also be given in person at any regional office or at Montana WILD.
The commission will hold a work session 4 p.m. the day before at its headquarters in Helena for an overview of the proposal.
Audio of both the work session and meeting will be streamed live at www.fwp.mt.gov.
The commission initiated rulemaking last spring on a petition submitted by Backcountry Hunters and Anglers titled the Quiet Waters Initiative. Public hearings on the proposed rules were held throughout Montana in January and extensive public comment was received.

Troy Softball Takes Two From Drummond
The Drummond High School softball team rolled into Troy Saturday with high hopes of ending a long streak of being on the wrong end of the score, and for half of the first game of the doubleheader, looked like they had every chance of doing just that. However the host Trojans exploded for nine runs in the bottom of the fourth inning, and then shut down Drummond in the top of the fifth, winning 14-3. Troy kept the bats hot in the second game, plating 21 runs to end that game early as well, 21-11.
