Memorial donations to help museum
RONAN — Families and friends of the late Robert Needham are pleased to announce the formation of a special memorial in his name, which will aid in the preservation of Ronan’s only museum.
Funds may be sent in any amount and at any time to:
Preservation Fund Garden of the Rockies Museum 48515 Anderson Lane Ronan, MT 59864
Correction
Ronan Police Chief Ken Weaver officially swore in reserve officers Brandon Smith and Robert Stentz at the last council meeting. The two officers were misidentified in the June 15 Ronan City Council story and their profiles were switched. The story should have read:
Reserve Officer Smith volunteered for the St. Ignatius Volunteer Fire Department. He said he volunteered to help the police department because he wanted to be part of the town and its positive change.
Reserve Officer Stentz once served on a police department in California. He said he is a volunteer type of person. “This chief is excellent,” he said. “I wouldn’t have considered this until he came along.”
