On Tuesday, Glacier Park rangers and Flathead County Search and Rescue looked for Florida man Anthony Pollio (33) who planned a 10-mile hike from Lake McDonald Lodge but did not return.
His last message was sent at 8:20 p.m. on Sunday, and Sperry Trail was closed during the search.
🎓 Education
On Saturday, May 9, families will gather at the Trumbull Creek Educational Forest for the final day of the Family Forestry Expo, an event themed 'Forests - Landscapes of Many Uses' that offers hands-on forest walks, logging demonstrations, and a free logging camp lunch + educational exhibits.
St. Matthew’s eighth grader Tristan Robbins advanced to state in the Civics Bee after placing second at the Western Regional Civics Bee in April at Flathead Valley Community College.
He will face eight students on June 5 at the University of Montana in a contest celebrating America’s 250th anniversary.

County commissioners voted unanimously last week to drop Sliter Park's five-year lease, leaving its future uncertain.
PacifiCorp may manage the park if no community group steps in (lease expires July 31).
🏥 Health
ALERT is fundraising for a new Bell 429 helicopter, having set aside $3.5 million and seeking $2 million to replace one Bell 407 so it can better treat patients during flight (with more room for crew and relatives).
The effort was introduced at the ALERT Banquet in late April.
