  • Save the BCSA

    Addrien Marx, Former owner of Roveros|Aug 17, 2023

    Standing proudly at the corner of Highway 83 and Highway 200, appearing fresh and healthy, a newly painted “Big Cow” stands to greet those traveling past. Behind the bull’s unique and unforgettable stiffness lie softly rising hills that attract the eyes of most travelers. Still farther beyond these hills, on high snowy mountain peaks, are melting cold crystal water drops that form the headwaters of the iconic Blackfoot River. As the runoff moves down the mountains, the melting snow moves through the lush agricultural lands and wetlands of th...

  • Maclean releases big one, "Home Waters"

    Addrien Marx, AAI OBC Reviewer|Sep 2, 2021

    SEELEY LAKE – "Home Waters, a Chronicle of Family and a River," written by John Maclean, will surely have a deep and personal impact with readers of this newspaper, the Pathfinder. Nationwide reviews fit well the summaries of what this reviewer had intended to say. But soon after its release, the accolades from the national reviews, e.g. The New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, Barnes and Noble, Publishers Weekly and the Washington Post, rushed to give the chronicle an exemplary thumbs up! T...

  • Juanita Vero is the authentic Montanan

    Addrien Marx, Seeley Lake, Montana|Sep 24, 2020

    Have you ever met a person that seems to shine - because they listen, smile, reflect and then actually respond directly to you? Have you been believing respect, being heard and part of the process in driving together toward a better way to reach and provide opportunities is not readily valued today? Do you believe that best decisions are made by those that live and invest their hearts and energy into this place we call home, not the dictates of party power strategies? Find stability and hope in Juanita Vero’s run for County Commissioner. A...

  • Vote O'Brien for SD 46 – Savvy leader for the new world ahead

    Addrien Marx, Seeley Lake, Mont.|Apr 2, 2020

    SEELEY LAKE - Shannon O’Brien as candidate for SD 46? WE should all take STRONG note of this! Shannon is a powerful, energetic and experienced leader to help this District and our state in this ultra-critical time. Shannon has the experience to take us forward amidst the dark maze of health fears, financial setbacks, job loss and awareness, now that we face the new unknown! I have known Shannon only for the past six years, though more with great knowledge of her past leadership: Leadership in education, specifically at high school and c...

  • No One Better Equipped or Qualified than Jean Curtiss

    Addrien Marx, Seeley Lake, Mont.|Mar 22, 2018

    MISSOULA - Facts based on her accomplishments and personal knowledge of inherent love and respect for the people of this county, is why I proudly support Jean Curtiss in her race for Missoula County Commissioner. As a long time small business owner in Seeley Lake, I have seen Jean effectively bring new businesses to Missoula County – all of which have provided our community members with good paying jobs. I especially admire her job creation efforts that seek to balance scientific resource management, open space, healthy lifestyles and a s...

  • The Cost of Not Building a Sewer System

    Addrien Marx, Former Owner, Roveros|Jul 13, 2017

    SEELEY LAKE - People are asking what a new sewer system will cost the residents of Seeley Lake. Like my friends and neighbors here, I look forward to hearing those details when they’re available. In the meantime, I am writing to talk about the costs of not building a sewer system. As the owner of Rovero’s, I have the pleasure of serving our beautiful community cradled between two mountain wilderness areas and a stunning chain of lakes. As Seeley Lake has grown, so has Rovero’s. Two years ago, my engineers informed me that our heavily used...

  • Vote by the Facts

    Addrien Marx - Democratic Candidate for HD92, Seeley Lake, Mont.|Nov 3, 2016

    “Negative campaigning is only effective if we as citizens allow it to be.” I agree with my opponent on this, only I personally do not believe that stating facts on how we are different – from sources that withstand legal review – is negative! The truth is not negative. When I go to vote – I want the facts, not the rhetoric. FACT: My opponent is simply a politician that is vying for his third run in his third (and different) district. How does that equate to knowing our challenges, who we are and really taking our interests to Helena? I do not...

  • ALC Presentation Full of Bad Information & Emotionally Charged Rhetoric

    Kari Gunderson and Addrien Marx|Oct 6, 2016

    We are long-time residents of the Seeley/Swan Valley who attended the Sept. 20 Swan Valley Community Council-sponsored presentation by Montana Senator Jennifer Fielder and Representative Kerry White of the American Lands Council (ALC). The ALC presentation was filled with misinformation, inaccurate graphics and emotionally charged rhetoric designed to create fear. In their proposal to transfer federal lands to state control, the ALC speakers oversimplified and misrepresented complex forest management issues, while ignoring us hikers, hunters,...

  • Missoula County Voted to Create Better Futures

    Addrien Marx, Seeley Lake, Mont.|Nov 19, 2015

    SEELEY LAKE - In the olden days, when school buildings were in better shape, when my four children were young and I was less “old” and as I raised kids in the public school system, I recognized the value of communities that truly supported education. Then working as a teacher and years later serving as a school board member for MCPS [Missoula County Public Schools] multiple terms, the diversity of these perspectives strengthened my realization that education is only made possible by making a responsible investment, not necessarily the eas...
