Walk the Plank Event raises $4,800 for Superior pool reconstruction
Snow and wind didn’t stop Mineral County residents from “walking the plank” into freezing water to raise money for a new pool in Superior on Sunday, April 28. The Mineral County Community Foundation (MCCF) raised $4,800 during their Walk the Plank fundraiser at Eva Horning Park. The funds will benefit reconstructing Superior’s 60-year-old-public pool, which closed in summer 2018 due to leaks. The MCCF formed a subcommittee called Pool for the Park last summer after the pool closed. “We expect the total cost of the project to be at least $1.5 million, but we won’t know the exact number until we get a firm cost estimate,” committee member Angie Hopwood said. After the Walk the Plank fundraiser, the committee has raised a total of $40,000. The fundraiser events included walking the plank into a kiddie pool, a bake sale, face painting and other games for the public to enjoy. Participants received a free T-shirt if they raised $100, and are encouraged to get sponsors and challenge others to raise money. Superior Color and Lumber donated materials and volunteers helped out at the fundraiser. Hopwood says raising money for the pool is their main goal, but they also want to create more events like this for the community to enjoy. “We’re trying to bring up our community a little bit,” Hopwood said. The committee has already completed Phase I, where the goal was raising enough money to hire an architect and they are now in Phase II, meaning the committee can apply for grants. MCCF hopes to complete pool construction in Phase III by 2023. “We’re optimistic,” Hopwood said. The next fundraiser will be Bingo and BBQ on Friday, June 7 at Superior Elementary School.

A reminder about winter wildlife
Feeding of wildlife places the animals at risk and puts them on a collision course with humans. The problem of feeding wildlife has become such an issue across the state that the 2009 Montana Legislature revised the state law (MCA 87-3-130) governing the feeding of wildlife to specifically prohibit the feeding of ungulates—deer, elk, moose, and antelope—and mountain lions. FWP Warden Captain Lee Anderson noted that most people’s intentions are good, but it is against the law to feed most wildlife and probably not the best thing for the wildlife in the long run. He also reminds people that the recreational feeding of birds (song birds, turkeys, pheasants, etc) can also be unlawful if it attracts ungulates or bears.” Anderson noted that anyone wishing to report a violation can call 1-800-TIPMONT (-1-800-847-6668) or FWP at 752-5501.

Review of "The Miracle Worker"
The Miracle Worker (In other words the story of Helen Keller) was one of the best performances by the Montana Repertory Theatre I myself have ever seen. I thought this because the story was easy to follow, it was all from the original script except they added projections of images (the most show were of what Helen was experiencing in her view point). Its cast was phenomenal. From what I observed at the Banquet, they all got along nicely and when forced with adopting a family mentality they pulled it off. I was particularly impressed with the manner they acted when faced with having no work with a blind character. It felt like a life style and raw emotion. And lastly it wasn’t amateurs doing this. These were very experienced and their acting skills were top notch. An example was Annie Sullivan played by Caitlin Mclae struggle to find some way to reach Helen and she made it feel like as if it were a real conflict you were looking down upon. No part of it felt forged.
