 State
employees begin 2005 Charitable Giving campaign
Disasters
don’t keep schedules. They don’t respect
geographic boundaries. They don’t care about
budgets. And they cannot be solved with sympathy

New
locating transmitter installed near Driggs
Lewis

or sextant had they been crossing the Bitterroot
Mountains today. They could have taken advantage
of a location transmitter recently installed
in ITD’s District 6 to find their
way to the Pacific. A new receiver, located
at the Driggs maintenance yard, was powered
up without much fanfare recently. But its
impact will be far reaching.
