Local Announcements ...continued from page 1 A message from the Gateway Hose Company Board of Trustees. Hello Gardiner Community and Happy Thanksgiving! Gateway Hose Company wants to clarify for everyone that our department had no knowledge of the postcards that were received in people’s mailboxes today nor do we support what it proposes. We find it very disturbing that the postcards were presented that way. The Resort Tax Board awarded last year’s funds to worthy applicants and rollover requests were made due to projects not being completed in 2020 because of COVID. These funds should be allowed to rollover into 2021 so that good people can continue to do good work for our community. Although we appreciate the recognition of our department and its members, we will never accept the kind of support that undermines others. Gateway Hose Company Board of Trustees supports the 1% Resort Tax increase so that tourists continue to fund necessary projects in our town. If you have any questions regarding this topic, respectfully contact one of our board members. We wish whomever sent out the postcard would have had the nerve to sign it! Sincerely, Bob Kopland, Bob Evanoff, JoLynn Sharrow, Patrick Hoppe and Ron Burke - Gateway Hose Company’s Board of Trustees

3 Southern and Gallatin County RACs Consider Changes to Recreation Site Fees

Bozeman, MT… The Southern Montana Resource Advisory Committee and the Gallatin Resource Advisory Committee will be meeting in December to discuss and make recommendations on fee changes proposed by the Custer at recreation sites that are authorized by the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act (FLREA). The Southern Montana RAC will meet at 9:00 am on December 8, 2020 and the Gallatin RAC will meet at 9:00 am on December 9. Both meetings will be virtual and will be open to the public.

The public comment period for these fee proposals was offered July 2 –August 23, 2020. The objectives of these upcoming RAC meetings are to review the proposals along with the public comments received, provide an official recommendation to the Forest Service’s Northern Regional Forester, which is required by law prior to authorization or implementation of new fees.

Information on how to join the virtual discussion or submit a comment can be found on the Custer Gallatin Forest’s website at www.fs.usda.gov/custergallatin or by contacting Kathy Minor, [email protected] or Marna Daley at [email protected]. The meeting agenda for both RACs will be available after Dec 2, 2020 on the Custer Gallatin Forest’s website. Montana State Parks sees record setting visitation in 2020 Eight parks exceed 100,000 visitors HELENA – Montana State Parks hosted 3 million visitors from January through September of this year. Compared with the same time period last year, visitation increased by 24.4 percent. Visitation increased at 80 percent of state parks across Montana for the year, with eight parks exceeding 100,000 visitors. “These visitation increases represent the busiest summer on record for the State Park system. FWP staff, volunteers, and AmeriCorps members went above and beyond to keep these sites open, and to safely host visitors in the face of the pandemic,” said Martha Williams, FWP director. “Countless families and visitors to Montana had memorable park visits this summer, and we hope their positive experiences will keep them coming back to enjoy the great recreational and cultural opportunities stewarded by Montana State Parks.”

The top five most visited parks between January and September of this year were: 1- Flathead Lake State Park (all units), Flathead Lake - 439,298 visitors (up 33.5 percent) 2- Cooney Reservoir State Park, Roberts - 330,730 visitors (up 26 percent) 3- State Park, Great Falls - 312,655 visitors (down -0.2 percent) 4- Lake Elmo State Park, Billings - 206,091 visitors (up 25.7 percent) 5- Thompson Chain of Lakes State Park, Libby - 155,483 visitors (up 42.5 percent) THANK YOU to our sponsors, participants, and planning team!

5 Forest Service Christmas Tree Permits Available Online

Bozeman, MT – It’s that time of year when thousands of families make the annual trek into the woods to cut their own Christmas tree. The Forest Service is helping to carry on this tradition and make it even easier by offering a new online option for Christmas tree permits available now at www.recreation.gov. Permits are free this season with only a small transaction fee. This fast and easy online option is strongly recommended, as it was created to provide convenience for the public in addition to reducing the risk of exposure to covid-19 for the public and our employees. Local vendors will no longer carry permits and district offices will have limited availability. Our offices are currently closed to the public, so please call ahead for a permit if needed. “The long tradition of heading into the snowy woods to cut a Christmas tree with your family is an experience we are incredibly happy to provide,” says Marna Daley, Custer Gallatin National Forest Public Affairs Officer. “It is a time to be with family, create memories and enjoy exploring your forest together.” This time-honored custom also benefits general forest health by removing smaller trees from the forest, which promotes growth in larger trees. It also benefits wildlife by creating increased open spaces for foraging. After obtaining your permit, please remember to always plan ahead and be prepared when heading out for your Christmas tree adventure. Winter weather conditions can change rapidly, as can driving conditions. Know where you are going and consult the Custer Gallatin National Forest Motor Vehicle Use Map to know which roads are open. When choosing your tree, make sure it is not in a developed recreation site such as a campground, trailhead or picnic area, as these trees are essential to the sites and stand little chance of ever growing back. Do not cut your tree near bodies of water in order to protect riparian areas. Please take the whole tree and leave the stump no taller than 6”. Always be respectful of others and pack out any trash. We thank you for caring for your National Forest! If you have further questions, please go to www.recreation.gov, call (877) 444-6777 or contact your local district office. To view or download free motor vehicle use maps please visit us online at www.fs.usda.gov/ custergallatin

Know that when you're dining in town this season you will likely experience a longer than normal wait time with limited options. On July 14th, four buildings were lost in a devastating fire, two of which were restaurants. The loss of the fire compounded with strained supply chains, staff shortages, record breaking visitation, and the spread of COVID-19 are all contributors to our stressed dining establishments. Our locals are doing their best to serve our community and visitors. We encourage you to pack your patience when enjoying our variety of excellent dining establishments in Gardiner this season and be gracious to our small community. Please keep in mind that the following factors are effecting the daily schedule of restaurants: • Limited staffing • Supply chain disruptions/irregularities • Staff testing positive for COVID-19 • Seasonal schedule adjustments
