Flathead Valley Community College’s Art Department is hosting a student sale today through December 5 from nine a.m. to six p.m. on the Arts and Technology Building upper level and a student art show opening on December 5 from four to six p.m.—both free to the public and featuring handmade items that support student artists.

Glacier High School students have built their own small businesses in a Business Essentials class project that will offer handmade gifts and treats for sale during the downtown Holiday Stroll on Dec.

5 at First Interstate Bank, 2 Main St. The project tests their skills in marketing, finance and production—students created items ranging from dog treats to custom mugs and cookies.

At last week's meeting, Whitefish City Council heard community members express concerns over weak enforcement of lake and lakeshore protection regulations and unclear growth policies, with calls for stronger county oversight and a more open public process.

The council also approved a new Verizon Wireless lease for a cellular tower with reduced rent this year—additionally annexing 2 acres at 632 Lund Lane.

Whitefish Mountain Resort will open tomorrow after 28 inches of new snow has boosted its base.

Some terrain may remain off limits until final checks are made—skiers should check the snow report Thursday morning for updates and note upgrades such as a new 60 foot cell tower and enhanced snowmaking equipment.
