As Labor Day weekend approaches, volunteers from across the nation are gearing up for the sixth annual Park2Park bike ride across Montana to raise funds for CASA of Montana and the non-profit network of 15 local CASA programs, including Front Range CASA/GAL, Inc., which serves Pondera, Teton, Toole and Glacier counties.
“Last year, 45 riders raised almost $50,000 for CASA and that’s the goal again for this year’s ride,” Ellen Bush, Executive Director of CASA of Montana, said.
According to Bush, over 40 riders will participate in this year’s Park2Park, including riders from Washington, D.C., Idaho, Florida, New York, and Oregon, as well as numerous Montanans. This year’s ride will feature four riders from the golden triangle, one of which is a CASA himself.

It mirrors the movie, Field of Dreams, which starred Kevin Costner. Build a ball field in a corn patch in Iowa and “they will come.”
Almost surrounded by fields of grain, outside of the city, down a dusty road sits the best small bore, archery, and trap shooting range under the Big Sky, “They built it and they came.”

 HOLIDAY TIME — Gabby Beaman and her pal Holden, a St. Bernard puppy, want to remind readers that The I-O will be closed on Labor Day. The paper will be put together on Wednesday and put out on Thursday. We hope everyone has a super and safe Holiday as the summer season winds down. I-O Photo by Buck Traxler
County commissioners moved to approve an increase of salary of one percent (.19 cents per hour) for all elected officials on Wednesday.
Full-time and part-time employees will also receive a pay raise of .19 cents.
The increase will only be for 10 months, effective on the September payroll through June 2011 payroll.
This results in less than $32 per month for full-time employee salary and will just cover the additional employee cost for health insurance.
