Fourth grade students will be...
For the first time, this Friday at 5:30 p.m., the Cub Scout Pack 4426’s annual chili cook off will be open to the public at St. Jude Thaddeus Parish Center, an event organizers hope will help raise funds for the pack, celebrate the local scouts’ own fundraising efforts and raise awareness about scouting in general. Pack 4426 Cub Master Jeremy Malley said they’ve been holding a chili cook-off for a long time now, but it was just for scouts and their families, and this time it will be open to the public. Malley said scout...

Editor, Don’t be anxious about the climate crisis. Anxiety is a normal response when we see a danger our leaders ignore. But push back instead. Take control. Get active. Because action, no matter how small, is the best cure for anxiety. It doesn’t have to be a big or dramatic action, just an effective one, and the Citizens’ Climate Lobby has some great suggestions. One of the best actions is the quickest and simplest: Pick up your phone and tell Congress you want action. Try it. It’ll take less than two minutes, but after y...
I have always liked Thanksgiving. I know its origins are dubious. I cringe a little when I think about the construction paper American Indian costumes and the happy story I learned as a child about that first Thanksgiving. I cringe a little more when I read about people missing their holiday meal so they can work at retail jobs where customers trample one another at the store’s entrance to get in and buy things. I don’t understand this, I have to confess. I have never bee...
By now, we all have seen our actual property tax increases. We know how high our property taxes have gone up — not like the mystery when we got our confusing reappraisal notice. Many of us are angry. As we prepare to write an actual check for our home property taxes, we are livid. The state reappraisal of all Montana homes for 2023 resulted in an average 49% increase statewide in home appraisals. Because of that appraisal many if not most of us will see a property tax increase on our home — and for some this increase is enorm...

What a difference a year makes. For me, and for the Montana Grizzlies and Montana State Bobcats. A year ago last Saturday, I was at College Game Day in Bozeman, then freezing my ass off inside Bobcat Stadium watching the Grizzlies get destroyed by the Bobcats in the 121st Brawl of the Wild. At that time, I had already accepted my new job here in Denver, and while a lot of people didn’t know it, I figured I wouldn’t be in Missoula for the 2023 Cat-Griz game. And I was...
This past Sunday in Spokane, Washington, the Montana State University-Northern wrestling team performed well at the Spokane Open.

Windauer then won by a technical fall and a major decision in his next two matches....
