Blackhawks are District Champs
Saturday, Nov. 12, the Seeley-Swan girls basketball team played the Philipsburg Prospectors for the 12-C District Championship.
The Hawks won the game by one point in regulation time (56-55). As Saturday night drew close to 8:30 p.m., the crowd began to cram into Big Sky High School's gym to watch the championship clash between the Hawks and the Prospectors. The two teams met twice during the regular season; each winning at home by less than ten points. The game would show who could win on a neutral floor.

Local residents get closer look at Clearwater Stewardship Project
Last month, Scott Tomson, USFS Seeley District Biologist, took ten Seeley residents on a great educational tour of the Clearwater Stewardship Pilot Project. Along with the tour, the residents left with the history and changes of this 12,000 - acre forested area as well as the message the Forest Service wants the public involved in decisions made concerning United States Forest Service lands.
"We encourage everyone to come to the meetings and get involved," Tomson said. "Our meetings are for the public, and the public's input is needed and valued. There are things we may not think of, and comments do make a difference."
The Clearwater River drainage is a large tributary of the Blackfoot River. The fires in the 1700 and 1800's resulted in a highly productive forest, which made it a target for intensive logging from the 60's to the early 80's. This logging fragmented the drainage, and a 12,000 acre tract in the drainage that escaped the earlier timber harvest was due to its smaller, less valuable trees. Because of the conditions in those 1,200 acres, in the late 80's it was considered important because of its interior forest, grizzly bear corridor and critical, high quality spanning habitat.
In 1999, Congress passed legislation in favor of stewardship contracts, which resulted in four projects in the Lolo Forest District - Clearwater Stewardship Pilot Project in Seeley; the Knox Brooks Project in Superior; the Game Range Project in Plains/Thompson Falls area; and the Frenchtown Face in the Nine Mile Ranger District.
