FIRE BURNING IN OUTLOOK (10/31)

A fire is blowing through the town of Outlook in extreme northeastern Montana this evening, and it's threatening the town of Raymond, to the north.

The state Disaster and Emergency Services agency has ordered a mandatory evacuation of Outlook residents to nearby Plentywood. Residents in the town of Raymond -- just north of Outlook -- have been cautioned they may have to evacuate as well.

The grass fire started this afternoon north of the town of Redstone and has burned into Outlook. Officials say several houses and buildings are on fire, including three grain elevators. Only one was operational. Firefighters apparently have saved the gas station.
An area resident told KCGM radio that from his vantage point, it appeared that two-thirds of the town of Outlook has burned. Witnesses say an estimated 15 homes have burned.

The state Disaster and Emergency Services is reporting that there are fires burning in six eastern Montana counties, including the Outlook fire in Sheridan County. Grass fires also are burning in Roosevelt, Garfield, Richland, Carter and McCone counties. Officials have not determined how the fires started. Today's high winds are fanning the flames, hampering firefighting efforts.

Winds in Glasgow and much of eastern Montana were gusting above 60mph and were expected to continue at least until midnight.

CONGRESSMAN HILL HOLDS ELECTRONIC TOWN MEETING (10/25)

Congressman Rick Hill held an electronic town meeting in Glasgow on Monday, calling by telephone to talk to area residents on KLTZ/MIX-93. The Congressman discussed many issues from social security to the farm aid act.

He also talked about local projects, including the Fort Peck fish hatchery. Supporters of the hatchery have been trying to get $250,000 for an environmental study so the project can continue to move forward. Hill said he didn't think the funding would come through for this fiscal year, but that Congress is putting money for the actual building together.

Hill also noted that appropriations begin in February in Congress, so getting funding is a bit more difficult now. He did say he wanted to used the state's support as leverage for getting the federal funds.

Congressman Hill also discussed VentureStar and noted that Montana is probably the best location for a northern launch site. He said Montana is still high on the list, but he didn't know which location. Hill noted that there are 2 serious sites in Montana, one of them being the former Glasgow AFB. He stated that Montana's strengths are the natural resources and location, while Montana does not have the big money to offer that other states do.

The Congressman did point out that the feasibility of the overall project is still up in the air as it is a private venture, with no federal investment into it right now. And, according to Hill, investors still hadn't gotten all the funding together.


STATE STUDENT COUNCIL CONVENTION (10/25)
