All Invited to Music Galore IV
SEELEY LAKE - The Seeley-Swan Mountain Bells handbell choir invites you to the fourth annual Music Galore show Sunday, May 22 at 3 p.m. in the big gym at Seeley Lake Elementary School. Admission is free. Donations in support of the handbell choir are appreciated.
Music Galore is a musical variety show featuring many local talents in addition to the handbell choir. This year the group welcomes back Doug Mood and his accordion.

The Seeley-Swan Mountain Bells will be performing a variety of pieces including Down Memory Lane, a tribute to Stephen Foster; familiar songs such as Oh Susanna and Beautiful Dreamer; an arrangement of How Great Thou Art and other pieces, such as Cadenzato, that use different bell techniques that add texture to the music.
Biologists to Begin Seasonal Grizzly Bear Capturing for Research and Management
As part of an ongoing interagency program to monitor the population of grizzly bears in the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem (NCDE), Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP), the US Fish & Wildlife Service, the National Park Service and Tribal wildlife managers will once again begin seasonal scientific capture operations in parts of western Montana this month.
From May through the end of October, biologists may be working in the Blackfoot Valley, along the Rocky Mountain Front, in the Swan and Clearwater River Valleys, within Glacier National Park and in the North and Middle Forks of the Flathead River.
Warning signs will be posted along the major access points to the bait and trapping sites. It is critical for safety to avoid traveling into posted areas.
Trapping sites are baited with natural food sources and snares or culvert traps are used to capture the bears. Once captured, the bears are sedated, studied and released in accordance with strict protocols.
For more information regarding grizzly bear trapping efforts, call FWP in Missoula at 406-542-5500 or in Kalispell at 406-752-5501.
