Allie (Bailey) Adams, 93

Allie Fair Adams, 93, passed away Nov. 5 at the Mineral Community Hospital Long-Term Care Facility. Known locally as the Cat Lady, she cared for the many animals people abandoned on her property. She couldn’t stand to see any animal or person in need and her compassion knew no bounds. Her open and giving nature enabled her to help many in this community either on the job at the Mineral Community Hospital and Nursing Home or in her private life. Yet few knew she was a gifted primitive artist who painted landscapes which she gave away freely. She had wanted to spend her retirement painting, but, instead, she spent it as she had her entire life, caring for others.

In the Spirit of Sanitation

Happy New Year! The Environmental Health staff in Sanders County are looking forward to 2008 for many reasons, number one being the Revolving Loan Fund. The state bureaucrats finally gave the county the first installment for the loan fund. This program is unique to the state of Montana, and is a wonderful opportunity to help you afford replacing your failed or obsolete septic system. Why should you care? Well, even if you don't care about the environment, and your well has not been contaminated by a poorly functioning septic system, you probably care about your family's safety.
