Handbell Choir asks for table and pad return
SEELEY LAKE – The Seeley-Swan Mountain Bells handbell choir had a table, a table pad and a bell go missing last spring from the Seeley Lake Elementary music room. The choir was very grateful to whomever returned the bell, however, they are still hoping the table and table pad will be returned.
Choir director Joann Wallenburn said, “We are growing and we need to add a table and pad to our set-up. It would be so very wonderful if we didn’t have to buy another table and pad to replace those that went missing. We appeal for their return.”
The table is a standard Costco type, molded plastic, 2.5 foot x 6 foot beige folding table. SSMB is written on the latch in black marker. The pad is three inch thick yellow foam, also 2.5 foot x 6 foot, and covered in a custom-made case, made from a sheet.
Wallenburn added, “We’re hoping to find this stuff back in the music room at SLE just as we found the bell.”

Early Estimates Show Nonresident Visitor Spending Up, Visitor Numbers Down in 2018
MISSOULA – Approximately 12.2 million nonresidents visited Montana in 2018 and spent nearly $3.7 billion in the Treasure State, according to preliminary estimates by the Institute for Tourism and Recreation Research at the University of Montana.
The number of travelers visiting the state in 2018 appears to have decreased slightly, down two percent from 2017. Despite the slightly lower number of individual travelers, those who did travel to the state spent more, on average, per day. The net result is around 10 percent increase in total spending over 2017.
Visitor spending during 2018 supported an estimated 42,700 jobs directly and over 58,000 jobs in total. Associated with those jobs is over $1.1 billion of labor income directly supported by nonresident spending. An additional $622 million of labor income is indirectly supported by what nonresidents spend while traveling in the state.
Nonresidents contributed more than $227 million in state and local taxes in 2018. These figures will be updated this spring, with the most recent fourth quarter data from 2018 replacing the 2017 fourth quarter data used in these early estimates.
