1. Warm Weather Keeps Klatawa, Smearl Fires Burning on Kootenai National Forest
Two wildfires on the Kootenai National Forest near Libby are keeping land managers there on edge.
By Oct. 12, the Klatawa Fire had burned more than 5,100 acres southwest of Libby and officials expect it to remain active as warm, dry weather dominates the forecast. Containment lines have been constructed around the blaze but those lines could be threatened by windy conditions. Fire personnel will continue to monitor and reinforce fire lines to keep the blaze from spreading toward private property and homes, according to a press release.
Meanwhile, firefighters are also work- ing to contain the 180-acre Smearl Fire near Leigh Lake. Officials believe the fire was human caused and as of Oct. 12 it was 70 percent contained.
Resources are being shared between the two fires and at least four helicop- ters have been working the blazes. Other resources include, four 20-person crews, 10 smokejumpers and 18 helitack person- nel.Bothfireshaveresultedinsomearea closures, specifically near Leigh Lake and Flower Creek. Officials say that although open burning is in effect, the continuing fire season is a good reminder to use cau- tion when starting any type of fire and make sure all fires are completely extin- guished before leaving them unattended.

2. Stillwater Christian Dedicates Renovated School Building
Last weekend Stillwater Christian cel- ebrated the renovation and addition of its school in Kalispell.
Thirty-five years after being founded, what is now Stillwater Christian School is expanding as a private education institu- tion for students in kindergarten through high school.
On Oct. 11, the school dedicated its
10,800-square-foot building expansion that includes six new classrooms, a new lobby and commons area and an addi- tional music room. Modifications were also made to the gym with a new con- cessions area, bleacher replacement and relocation and improvements in lighting and ventilation.
In early March, administrators announced plans for the site expansion. The $1.8 million expansion broke ground in April. It is the largest expansion since new high school classrooms and the gymnasium were added onto the current facility in 1996.
The Kalispell school remains the val- ley’s lone K-12 Christian institution for families seeking an education that incor- porates the Bible and teachings of Jesus into the everyday curriculum.
