Tuesday, June 8 11:30 p.m.

By J.P. Plutt
Dillon Tribune staff
Cathy Hucke held off Ed Hoerning to win the Republican Primary race
for Beaverhead County Treasurer/Assessor. In other contested county
races, Jeffrey Welborn and Linda M. Marsh claimed decisive victories
in races for House District #72 and County Superintendent of Schools,
respectively.
In the state-wide race for U.S. Representative, Denny Rehberg
overwhelmed challengers Mark T. French and A.J. Otjen on the
Beaverhead County Republican ballot, while Dennis McDonald claimed a
two-to-one win over nearest challenger Melinda Gopher on the
Beaverhead County Democrat ballot.
With the eight City of Dillon precincts in at 9:50 p.m., Hucke held a
78 vote lead over Patti Lake and a 100 vote margin over Hoerning.
Hoerning made a move when the rural ballot boxes rolled in, passing
Lake and closing to within 63 votes of Hucke. With the unofficial
tally posted, Hucke garnered 32.5% of the vote, Hoerning 29.7%, Lake
27.9% and Jessica Brevig 9.8%.
Voter turnout was low at the polls at 48.3% of active voters. Of the
2,124 ballots cast, 1,017 came in via absentee ballots to account for
an oustanding 42% of the votes cast.

Thelma J. Garrett

1923 - 2010

Thelma J Garrett, 87, died May 30, at Parkview Acres Nursing Home, of natural causes.
A service was held at Sunset Memorial Cemetery, Missoula, with Julie Briggs, director of Brundage Funeral Home, officiating.
Mrs. Garrett was born May 7, 1923, to Howard and Verna Dubois, in Windham, Mont. Thelma grew up and graduated high school in Windham. The family later relocated to Missoula.
Thelma met and married Bill Garrett in July of 1945. Thelma and Bill went on to establish their Missoula residence and long time home in 1946 where she lived for 62 years until relocating to Dillon.
She loved fishing, camping, gardening, and her German shepherds. Her family wrote, " Thelma Garrett, our mother and grandmother never liked to be the center of attention. If she were with us now, she would want us to take the focus off of her and put it on us. She would not want us to focus on the sadness of her death, but instead look at the happiness we still have in our lives. She would want us to look at each other and appreciate what we have together and what we hope to make better.”
Mrs. Garrett is survived by her sister, Hazel McGraw; two daughters, Glenna Garrett, and Gail Weisz; six grand-children; eight great-grandchildren; and soon-to-be, one great-great-grandson.
She was preceeded in death by her husband; sister, Loree; and two great-granddaughters, Sarah and Jordan.
In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to the American Cancer Society.




Nita Synnove Fjeseth

1927 - 2010

Nita Synnove (Lee) Fjeseth passed away Wednesday, June 2, at Barrett Memorial Hospital. She was born Sept. 12, 1927, to John and Aslaug Lee in Froid, Mont. She was the youngest of nine children.
She graduated from Froid Public School and Billings Business College, and went on to marry Gustav Fjeseth in Wolf Point, in 1948. They had two children, Nancy and Yogi.
While living in Froid, Gus was manager of the Schnitzler Corporation, and Nita wrote and produced the Froid Weekly Newspaper. After Gus' untimely death in 1968, Nita found work with the Montana Legislature. She served as secretary of the Taxation Committee for six sessions.
She and Yogi moved to Dillon in 1975, where she was employed by the law firm of Schultz, Davis and Warren before starting her own secretarial service, "The Desk."
She enjoyed bowling, painting, sports, her grandkids, going to the VandenBos ranch, and her "Friday Night Girl's Club."
Her parents, husband, and all of her siblings preceded her in death.
She is survived by her son Yogi (Janet) Fjeseth, Dillon; very special grandchildren, Andrew Jon and Ellen Marie Fjeseth; her daughter Nancy (Jim) VandenBos, Valier, and their daughters, Tami (Lorne) Krone, Jamie (Michael) Brownell, Karen (Martin) Murphy, Jodi (Tommy) Seifert; and eight great-grandchildren; many nieces and nephews.
At Nita’s request, there will be no funeral. Cremation has taken place and burial will be at a later date in Froid.
Memorials may be made to the Beaverhead County High School Booster Club or the Froid Lutheran Church.
Brundage Funeral Home is handling the arrangements.





Leonard Ray Love

1950 - 2010

Leonard Ray "Scruffy" Love passed away June 5 at St. James Healthcare in Butte. He was born Dec. 24, 1950 in Laramie, Wyo. He attended many schools during his youth as his family moved frequently.
In 1968 he joined the Army, serving in Viet Nam and finishing his tour at Ft. Hood.
He did custom harvesting in areas from Texas to the Dakotas. He also drove truck for New Ulm, hauling grain.
In the early 80s he began working for Jim and Linda Allen at Horse Prairie Ranch, haying, working cows and hauling hay and cows in "ol Blue", a Kenworth truck. He often said "the best view is on Bachelor Mountain on top of my horse!"
In 1983 he was joined by BJ Johnson and her family, Jason, Jeremy, Brian and Christi. They eventually moved to Dillon where Lenny began driving truck for Cleverly Trucking. He was known for his sense of humor, once showing up at the Matador Ranch in a psychedelic head band and blue John Lennon sunglasses. Always wanting to comply with OSHA, he had a hard hat shaped like his cowboy hat.
In 2003 he went to work for Montana Brand Produce, delivering produce to Albertson' stores throughout Montana. He enjoyed meeting people and had a knack for making people laugh. Scruffy was known for his love of chrome and lights, dressing up all the trucks he drove; he was very selective in choosing people he "let" polish the chrome.
He enjoyed John Wayne movies and could recite the dialog right along with the Duke in his favorite, McClintock. He also had a passion for growing roses, sharing the flowers with friends and family.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Joyce Love, and father Mervin Love.
Survivors include wife BJ; children, Jason, Jeremy (Heidi), Brian, Christi (Frank); brothers, Earl and Carl; sisters, Gaye Stovall, Neva Hendrickson, Eva Love-Chezem, Lois Love and Pam Schuster.
Numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews also survive.
He was looking forward to hauling cows as he often did on the weekends until his health failed. We know he is watching over us from a Peterbuilt, complete with chrome and lights.
He will be deeply missed.
There will be a visitation at Brundage Funeral Home today from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. followed by a funeral service at 7 p.m. Committal services, with military honors provided by Dillon American Legion Post 20, will be held Friday, June 11, at 2 p.m., at Mountain View Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. A guestbook and video is available on line at www.brundagefuneralhome.com.
