BUTTE â The fifth group of five weekly winners took home a total of $35,000 in the most recent Butte-Silver Bow COVID-19 Vaccine Sweepstakes ceremony at the Butte Civic Center.
Announced Thursday as the most recent sweepstakes winners were Joseph Good, $10,000; Joyce Whitford, $10,000; Jayna Dixon, $5,000; Taylor Garrett, $5,000; and Arika Stajcar, $5,000.
February 22, 2021Wednesday’s COVID-19 vaccination clinic at the Butte Civic Center is on, with the clinic focused on those ages 70 and older, and those ages 65 and older with certain underlying health conditions. The clinic will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Butte-Silver Bow Health Officer Karen Sullivan said Monday that Butte’s Unified Health Command, which facilitates the county’s COVID-19 vaccination clinics, received a substantial shipment of the Moderna vaccine, allowing this week’s clinic to move forward. Last week’s clinic was canceled due to national shipping issues, related to poor weather conditions, in the Southern United States.
The wearing of face coverings in public places in Butte-Silver Bow remains mandated, under a Board of Health COVID-19 emergency rule adopted Dec. 22, 2020.

BUTTE â The wearing of face coverings in public places in Butte-Silver Bow remains mandated, under a Board of Health COVID-19 emergency rule adopted Dec. 22, 2020.
Butte-Silver Bow Health Officer Karen Sullivan underscored that on Wednesday, in the wake of Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte announcing he ll lift the statewide mask mandate, effective Friday.
In addition to the face-covering mandate, the Dec. 22 rule ordered 10 p.m. closure times at bars, restaurants, distilleries, breweries, casinos and gyms.
At a special meeting on Feb. 4, the Board of Health voted to lighten the closure restriction to 12:30 a.m. Remaining under the Dec. 22 rule is a requirement that establishments maintain 50 percent capacity. Also, those seeking to have a public gathering of more than 25 people require Health Department approval for the gathering.
Homes, rather than bars, will be ringing in 2021 with party hats, balloons and noisemakers.
Butte-Silver Bow Undersheriff George Skuletich doesnât foresee Dec. 31 being too busy for his department, but itâs best to be prepared.
So, to err on the side of caution, rather than the usual five or six officers working the graveyard shift on a Thursday night, 10 to 12 officers will be out cruising the streets. They will be making sure the bars are closed long before midnight and that residents are being safe and sensible drivers.
Particularly this year, Skuletich thinks there will be an increase in the number of house parties, which, according to health department guidelines, isnât recommended.
