Trotters realize net dream; advance to State B tournament
FLORENCE – Volleyball dreams can come true, if you believe, and perform best when it really counts. Now true believers in themselves after performing their best at the very best time, look who is going to State. The Plains Trotters exorcised the volleyball demons of tournaments past in Florence last week, ending a 27-year state tournament drought in Plains, winning second place and the west’s No. 2 seed into the State B portion of the Montana All-Class tournament at Brick Breeden Fieldhouse in Bozeman later this week. It is Plains’ first State B volleyball berth since way back in 1999. The Trotters open State B play at 4 p.m. Thursday against Shelby in the fourth match of the tournament. If the Trotters win versus Shelby they will face the winner between Jefferson County and Fairfield at 8 p.m. Thursday at the Brick. In the end, last week’s Western B tournament was not about that 27-year drought Plains had endured, it was about this year’s talented Trotters. Turns out that it was also a dream come true, a dream the team had dared to talk about before the season even began. “We have a large experienced group of seniors,” coach Kim

City Commission establishes fee waiver for seasonal nonprofits' water and sewer minimum charges
The Polson City Commission approved the first reading of an ordinance establishing a fee waiver for seasonal nonprofits’ water and sewer minimum monthly charges during off-season disconnect. According to the agenda item summary, local nonprofits with seasonal operations have asked to establish this waiver. These nonprofits close during the off-season and operate with limited financial resources. City Attorney Dave Michie, who presented the ordinance to the commission, said that seasonal nonprofits struggle during the winter months. Currently, a base rate or a monthly minimum fee accrues after owners shut off their municipal water and sewer utilities. This ordinance would remove that base rate during the off-season for nonprofits that do not shut off utilities for more than five months. Michie said that the city wants to look out for everyone and recognizes that nonprofits exist in the community. Claire Swenson, president of the Polson Flathead Lake Museum, spoke during public comment and said her museum has seen a decline in visitors since COVID-19, meaning it is also seeing a decline in donations. She added that they don’t have much excess money, so this ordinance removing that fee would be “wonderful” for them. The second reading of this ordinance will be
