Lions Club Pool Closes Season After 41 Years
Stan Hathman of the Choteau Lions Club announces the swimming pool will close for the season on Friday. Residents can swim one or two more days before school starts, marking the pool's 41st year serving the public. A filter was added years ago to reduce draining and heat water faster, enabling more swim days and warmer water. The club also plans a new bathhouse in the future.

Teton County Harvest Ops Nearly Complete This Year
Harvesting in Teton County is near finish with spring grain and barley remaining. Winter wheat yields average 20 to 25 bushels per acre, spring wheat and barley 10 to 15, up to 20. Poor yields but high grain prices may offset. Farmers wait for fall moisture before seeding, as sub moisture is lacking. Stubble baling is common to feed cattle amid hay shortages from drought and reduced irrigation water.
