This week 79 years ago: Cherry harvest ‘best crop’ in history, Famous band comes to Polson
The Flathead Courier, July 31, 1947 Cherry harvest nearly over By the end of this week the sweet cherry harvest in this county will be drawing, and early next week it will be all to a close over until the season of 1948. There is no doubt that the present season produced the best crop in the history of the cherry industry, and each succeeding year will see it grow and expand way beyond the fondest hopes of those who are now engaged in cherry growing. It was expected that this year's crop would be upward of three-quarters of a million pounds of cherries to go through the new packing plants. On Monday, half a million pounds had gone over the packing tables, and since then, about 40 tons have been going out daily. It now looks like the crop will go somewhat higher in tonnage than anticipated. Cherries from the Flathead have gone to practically every state in the Union, and, from the reports, they are reaching their destination in first-class condition. The weather has not been too bad for the harvest, and very few cherries have been damaged by the rains over the past several days. With a

Polson Lube is excited to join Ronan with second location
Polson Lube is in the process of constructing a new location off Round Butte Road, next to the Ronan VFW, and father-and-son owners, Dennis and Nick Baughman, are excited to join the community this August. Dennis said the new location's goal is to create a better customer experience. He explained that, at the Polson shop, the current influx of customers is increasing wait times. He also added that this will be more convenient for their many customers driving in from the southern portion of the valley. The new location, which will be called Ronan Lube, aims to be more user-friendly as well, with twice the waiting area, a larger shop and deeper service pits. “We're a quick oil change, and we don't want to have people wait so much, so this will just kind of ease it down here a little bit,” Dennis said. They have hired three new employees to start at the new location, who are currently being trained. They, along with two current employees and Dennis, will be heading down to kick off Ronan Lube. Dennis said that from there, they will probably bring on a full-time store manager once the store is established, and Nick will

Letter to the Editor: Making it right
In a world where it can sometimes feel difficult to get quality follow-through, I want to publicly commend a local business that truly stands by its word. Recently, Martel Construction conducted a final walkthrough of the landscaping at the new North Valley Middle School (NVMS) facility. A few issues were identified, and without hesitation, Martel promised to "fix the wrongs." They didn't just fix them; they showed up in full force. This past Monday evening at 4:45 p.m.—in stifling 85-degree heat—about a dozen Martel trucks and 18 employees arrived on-site. They spent the evening hauling heavy rock, replacing the underlying weed mat, and meticulously putting everything back in place. I know firsthand that this was not a fun or easy task, especially after a long workday in the summer heat. This is exactly how businesses build a lasting, respected name for themselves. NVMS is incredibly grateful to Martel Construction for their integrity, accountability, and unwavering commitment to excellence. They made it right, and it did not go unnoticed. Gratefully, Deidre Corson, executive director, North Valley Music School
