Beaverhead-Deer Lodge NF Requires Helmets for Children Riding ATVs Dillon, Mont., May 20, 2011—With increased motorized recreation use by minors, the Beaverhead-Deer Lodge NF now requires children under the age of 18 to wear helmets while riding or operating All Terrain Vehicles (ATV’s), motorcycles, Utility Terrain Vehicles (UTV’s) and other Off Highway Vehicles (OHV’s). The order signed on May 17, 2011 addresses safe use of these vehicles by minors while recreating on National Forest lands. “We want our visitors to have a great outdoor experience while recreating on the Forest, but we also want them to be safe,” said Forest Supervisor Dave Myers. Helmets must meet standards established by the Department of Transportation (DOT) and properly fit the child. More information about DOT approved helmets can be found on-line at www.dot.gov. Adults are also encouraged to wear helmets while riding. The order provides consistency with current State of Montana laws regarding the use of approved helmets for minors on roadways and expands that requirement to include roads, trails and lands within the Beaverhead-Deer Lodge NF. For more information about State requirements go on-line to www.mt.gov. Parents and responsible adults of minors may be subject to fines of $100 or more. For more information contact your local Beaverhead-Deer Lodge NF office, or go online to www.fs.usda.gov/bdnf.

Mathew McClintock recently plead guilty to felony Deceptive Practices here in Madison County. McClintock was in Montana for several years from 2007 to 2009. During that time, he would conduct an ongoing scam where he would approach businesses and individuals posing as a production manager that is selling advertisements for the purpose of teaching children to read or to build a children’s ranch to benefit underprivileged/disabled children. He would also solicit money from others to help in his investment program. During this time he would take the money and spend it for his own needs. He would keep the scam going by delaying eventual investigations with the use of endless excuses and token efforts to disguise his motives. He would sometimes use his own name or use a false name to continue his actions. Victims of McClintock’s were business people, unwitting employees he hired to provide cover for him, churches and members of the public. Hundreds of people were affected in Montana but victims were also from Idaho, Utah, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Colorado and New Mexico.
I am writing to the Chamber of Commerce’s listed above in hopes that this information can be disseminated out to businesses in your areas that were affected. McClintock is awaiting sentencing. It is my offer that anyone who has been affected by this person be given a chance to provide input to the Judge in this case with regards to his sentence. If anyone does want to contact me, I will do my best to forward any input to the Judge in this case for sentencing. I can also notify victims of a sentencing date if they wish to e-mail me and let me know they wish to appear.
Thank you for your help.

The Beaverhead Outdoor Association (BOA) and Keep It Rural: Southwest Montana (KIR) invite residents to a public meeting regarding the potential local impacts of Northwestern Energy’s (NYSE: NWE) proposed Mountain States Transmission Intertie (MSTI) line. The event features representatives from the Montana State Public Service Commissioner (PSC), NorthWestern Energy, BLM Dillon Field Office and the Jefferson County Commissioners. The event will be held on Thursday, August 5, at 6:00 p.m., in the Great Room at the University of Montana Western’s Swysgood Technology Center.
MSTI is a proposal by NWE to build a 500kV transmission line on 140-foot towers (approximately 4-to-6 a mile) from Townsend south through Dillon via several proposed routes. Based on the draft EIS from Montana DEQ, the line would run near Notch Bottom across the Big Hole River, across the Beaverhead Valley through the Frying Pan area and on to the west side of the Beaverhead Canyon. The line will cross at Dalys Spur and continue on the east side of the canyon to the Buffalo Lodge. From there, the line follows the Red Rock Valley over Monida Pass and into Idaho.
The sponsoring groups represent a diverse and bipartisan coalition of citizens deeply concerned about the MSTI project as proposed. The Beaverhead Outdoor Association was founded in 1996 and serves the interests of outdoor enthusiasts. The purpose of the BOA is to protect and insure the continued high quality outdoor recreational opportunities we now enjoy on public and private lands in Southwest Montana and promote true sportsman like conduct from all persons using these lands.
Founded in June 2010, Keep It Rural is a bipartisan organization devoted to keeping Montana residents informed and engaged in issues, such as the proposed MSTI line, which threaten Montana’s rural landscape, agricultural heritage, wildlife corridors, land owner rights and local economy. Information about the proposed MSTI line can be found at www.keepitrural.net, or on Facebook at Keep It Rural: Southwestern Montana.

Dear Runners, Supporters, Madison Marathon Volunteers, and Everyone else worthy of this message:
The Madison Marathon Website has been launched. Please check it out:
Personally, I think it is wonderful. The design credit goes to I Spy Design which is a company owned and operated by Brian Farrell of Bozeman. It is only fitting that the Highest Road Marathon in America also has the Best Marathon Website in America. The fact that the site even exists is because of the Kickstarter backers. Thank you all very, very much. You are now part of something truly wonderful.
Please take a few minutes and go through the site and send us your suggestions and comments. We want to make this website even better. For those of you who ran in the inaugural and 2nd annual race, please consider posting something on the ‘My Madison Marathon’ section of the site. We want that section to be very dynamic and interesting. Send your stories and photos to me and I’ll get them posted.
Finally a message to alumni runners: I’m getting lots of interest in the race even though it is still three months away. Literally today, I received a phone call from Illinois and an email from www.runnningintheusa.com about running in the race. The word is out and this website will make word of mouth advertising even faster and better. If you intend to run under the alumni deal, you should sign up sooner rather than later or risk getting shut out.
Thank you everyone. I look forward to hearing your comments on this site.
Stay healthy, happy, and keep running forward.
