State Now 2-Day Meet

Welcome to the top of the heap Mya Green.

The Scobey eighth grader had the fleetest of feet in a field of 49 during the Cul bertson Invitational Cross Country Meet held Saturday, September 26.

Green’s 10:01.66 winning time in the 1.5-mile middle-school race was just over 14 seconds faster than runnersup Tanae Baker of Glasgow. Scobey’s other runner in the race was 7th grader Ivy Cole, who fin ished 24th in 12:33.13.

The elder female Spartans, who covered 5,000 meters in the high school race on the mostly-flat course in

the northeast sector of the city, were led by freshman Mia Handran. She placed eighth in 21:32.32, which was 1:24.43 behind winner Annie Kaul of Plenty- wood, who finally topped

Glasgow’s Iris McKean this season.

Senior Taylor Leischner was 21st in 24:13.51, junior Karys Lamb 22nd in 24:38.75, freshman Joy Williams 43rd in 26:32.59 and junior Danielle Cahill 53rd in 28:48.55. Leischner broke her seasonal record in the race and the other three produced personal records.

For the Scobey High School boys freshman Ty Leischner was 9th in 18:49.39, which was just under 2 minutes behind winner Samuel Smith of Richey-Lambert. Next for the Spartans were sophomore Masen Green in 11th at 18:55.79, junior Devon Southland 17th in 19:15.55, junior Reagan Machart 19th in 19:48.44 and freshman Keadon Boze 45th in 26:42.75. The first four

listed all earned a personal record in their Saturday run with Boze coming close to breaking his.

In the boys’ middle school race 8th grader Carson Fishell placed 12th in 10:40.12, 7th grader Tristan Lekvold 21st in 11:34.41, 8th grader Asher Boze 22nd in 11:38.54 and 8th grader Aidrian Villa 27th in 12:08.47.

The Spartans were scheduled to compete in the 51st annual Frazer Invitational on Thursday, September 24, but that gathering was re-scheduled for Thursday, October 8.

The Spartans are idle this weekend.

We Hope Ballots Get Better Treatment From

USPS . . . And Future Leader Deliveries!

As USPS continually brags about its improved delivery system we beg to differ. Here’s a few samples of what our Leader readers have to deal with . . . the above paper showed up in Billings 3 weeks late, stepped on and torn. Typically they get their paper anywhere from 7 to 10 days after publication.

ARIZONA READER- “In light of your comments Burl in the August 27th edition of the Leader regarding the delivery of the paper by the US Post Office to out of

town residents, I wanted to let you know that I received that edition on September 8th. But, today I received my July 9th edition of the Leader!!! I just about always get the Leader about 7-10 days late and once in a while (3 or 4 times per year), I will receive the paper really late like the July 9th paper. Like you, I am of the opinion that there are lots of hard working people at the USPO, but there are obviously some whose efforts leave something to be desired.”

BILLINGS – Several readers comment it takes 10-14 days to get the Leader . One reader contacted post office and was told the Leader is second class mail and they don’t have to get it out right away. It’s not second class it is Periodical Mail! Obviously they don’t get it out right away as it arrives in Billings on the Thursday publication morning.

GREAT FALLS – Readers say paper takes 10-12 days CALIFORNIA – Got July 9th issue on September 9.

GLASGOW – Constant complaints of paper not showing up for a week or more.

WASHINGTON – Person received three papers at once, a month late. Others have not received papers since August. Others report 2 weeks for delivery. Papers returned as non-deliverable, for wrong address . . . addresses were verified as deliverable.

BILLINGS – It’s not just the newspapers . . . we received a check from a reader in the mail for a subscription. Check was torn and unusable, we had to get the subscriber to send another check. NORTH DAKOTA – Readers report they get several different issues at one time on a regular basis.

We can go on and on and we apologize to our readers for having to deal with inadequate service at continually raising rates.

This may not help anyone, but we want our readers to know that the Leader is mailed every Wednesday from the Scobey post office, shortly after noon. Our lo cal USPS has been good to work with and they work diligently on getting the mailings handled and out of this post office efficiently.

As we prepare a new website, which will soon be on a subscription basis by year end, we would encourage distant readers to check it out in the next few weeks, still for free. It should come on line sometime in November. The format will be all new and easy to read and navigate.

New Stop Signs In Scobey

Posted on

Daniels County Sheriff's Office

The Daniels County

Sheriff's Office has consult ed with Superintendent Greg Hardy about improving the safety of students walking, as well as riding bicycles, to and from Scobey Schools. A recommendation was made to the Scobey City Council to add a significant number

of stop signs at intersections around the school, and the Council voted in favor of adding them. Scobey Public Works Department will begin installing the stop signs on October 5th.

Please be aware of the changes, and continue to be very careful when driving around Scobey School. As a reminder, a stop sign vio- lation carries a fine of $85

along with 2 points access to your driver’s license.

The locations for the new stop signs:

2nd Avenue East & Timmons Street: 4-Way Stop 3rd Avenue East & Timmons Street: 4-Way Stop 2nd Avenue East & A Street: 4-Way Stop 3rd Avenue East & A Street: 4-Way Stop Robinson Street at 2nd Avenue East: Stop Sign (for southbound vehicles on Robinson Street) Oie Street at 2nd Avenue East: Stop Sign (for southbound vehicles on Oie Street) Robinson Street at 3rd Avenue East: Stop Sign (for northbound vehicles on Robinson Street) Oie Street at 3rd Avenue East: Stop Sign (for northbound vehicles on Oie Street) Per Montana Code Annotated 61-8-344(3), in layman’s terms, means you have to completely stop before entering the crosswalk (marked or unmarked). If no crosswalk exists, then you stop at the marked stop line (white line on the roadway).

Then, if there is no stop line, you need to stop BEFORE entering the intersection (proceeding past the curb line or edge of the roadway in front of you). If, at that point, you still cannot see if it is safe to proceed you move your vehicle slowly forward until you can see a safe distance and stop again.

After stopping, you check for vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, etc., and when safe to do so you proceed past the stop sign.

While it seems like a lot of work for just a stop sign, and more importantly than just a citation and a fine, this

technique will help keep everyone safe AND you

significantly decrease your

chances of a collision (and the subsequent auto insurance premium increase).

FORMS for reports to the Leader on weddings or golden anniversaries always available on request. Call 487-5303, or drop in to pick one up, BEFORE THE WEDDING.
