Good morning, Kalispell.
🏘️ Community
Fifteen centenarians were honored at a luncheon in Kalispell during the Governor’s Conference on Aging, where honorees including 101-year-old Betty Stimac and 100-year-old Blanche Garrett shared memories of their careers in railroads and shipyards.
The event celebrated lives from across Montana and offered support to older residents and their families.
Local leaders Johnson and Averill will kick off rebuilding the iconic Bigfork cross on Sunday, Oct.
11 at 1 p.m. at Wrangler Springs Ranch; the new 100-ft tall, skeletal design is engineered for 120 mph winds and relies on broad community support to meet its $250,000 budget.
🌲 Environment
The first winter storm of the season is forecast to hit Montana this weekend, bringing snow to valleys and up to 10 inches in mountain passes.
Commuters should expect below-freezing temperatures, slick roads, and gusty winds that may affect Flathead Lake docks — residents are urged to prepare.
Flathead National Forest officials cleared nearly 5,000 acres along U.S. 2 to reduce wildfire risk and boost forest health; work starts immediately with the first timber sale planned for late 2026 (Granite-Moccasin Project).
The project is expected to yield 12.5 million board feet and create jobs over 10 years.
