Trudy Meyer
From The Duck Inn Trudy Meyer, general manager of The Duck Inn Restaurant, has hung up her apron for the final time, retiring Feb. 28, 2021 after 44 years behind the counter and the scenes. Meyer began at The Duck Inn in May of 1977. The owner, Bill Dritshulas, hired her as a part-time hostess in the original Mediterranean Room. She fondly remembers that her first event at The Duck Inn was the State Shriner s Convention, which must have left a lasting impression on her because one of her specialties was booking banquets, wedding receptions, special events and small parties.
Sen. Ellie Boldman, D-Missoula, and Rep. Ed Buttrey, R-Great Falls, co-sponsored Senate Bill 320.
âThis isnât meant to be some kind of new beer and wine delivery service,â Boldman said during a House committee hearing on the bill Thursday. âItâs just meant so that mom and pop restaurants - when a lot of folks now are ordering food at home - that they can also go ahead and get beer and wine delivered.â
Under the bill, to have beer or wine delivered, the cost of the alcohol just canât exceed the cost of the food.
John Iverson spoke on behalf of the Montana Tavern Association in support of the bill, pointing out that people can already have drinks delivered on resort property.

HELENA â Montana lawmakers are considering a bill that would limit when a business can be cited for failing an alcohol compliance check, or âsting.â
The Senate Business, Labor and Economic Affairs Committee held a hearing Wednesday on Senate Bill 129, sponsored by Sen. Greg Hertz, a Republican from Polson.
The bill deals with âcontrived events,â in which a law enforcement agency or other organization sends an underage person into a store, bar or other business to attempt to buy alcohol. If an employee fails to check their age and sells them alcohol, that individual can be cited for an illegal sale. The failure will also be reported to the Montana Department of Revenue, which can then issue a violation to the holder of the alcohol license.
