January 16, 1997 A sharply divided Whitehall Town Council with a 4-3 vote approved a water rate increase for town businesses and residents during the council meeting on January 13. The vote, which followed a lengthy and oftentimes bitter hearing and debate, helped solidify the future of the Whitehall water improvement project and moved the project a major step toward final completion. Amid allegations that the council’s actions on the water rate increase were illegal and discriminatory, and after a brief scuffle between Whitehall Town M...
When a Montana resident dies, state law provides a process for deciding who is legally entitled to inherit financial accounts the deceased had with banks, credit unions or other entities such as brokerage firms. Montana property and contract laws, and provisions under the Montana Uniform Probate Code, dictate who becomes the legal successor(s) of certain accounts. “For example, when two people have a savings account in joint tenancy with right of survivorship, the surviving joint tenant becomes the legal successor. If an owner placed a p...
The Montana Public Service Commission has opened an investigation into the adequacy of legacy telephone systems owned and operated by CenturyLink Communications, LLC, and its affiliated Montana carriers. Many rural Montanans rely on these legacy systems for phone service, including access to emergency services.

Healthy eating is on the minds of many people at the start of a new year. One roadblock to healthy eating each January is the start of the National Football League playoffs, which culminate with the big game each February. Appetizers, sandwiches, and other game-day offerings often prioritize taste over nutrition. However, by rethinking some game day staples, it's easy to put a twist on popular favorites to make them lower in calories and fat and more nutritious. This year skip the calorie-laden...

Some cultures respect the wisdom of elders. Not us. We follow Facebook, TV evangelism, identity cult politics, and Kardashian's lip and bikini shots. It's okay with me, even though I'm growing long in the tooth. The last thing I want to become is some sort of Jacka$$ Yoda: no thanks! The band I'm in plays at nursing homes. We do morning gigs because afternoons are "nappy time." Evenings are out because bedtime is shortly after dinner, which is served around 4 PM. They feed us lunch, so we'll sti...

It is so nice to see the sun shining after our winter storm. It makes me want to spend as much time as possible outside enjoying the warmer weather. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is a chance to do just that as the library and other government agencies will be closed on January 17th for the Monday holiday. King was a Baptist minister who became a civil rights leader. He led the fight against racial segregation through nonviolent methods until he was assassinated in 1968. The holiday was established in 1983 and was observed three years later. The...

The year was 1918. The Armistice had just been signed and it was Frannie's birthday, her 18th, to be exact. Frannie, or more correctly, Francoise de Bordeaux, was born in the relatively small community known as Lemonweir Mills, on November the 11th, in the year 1900. Being one of the very few French inhabitants of that part of the territory, Frannie was proud of her heritage. Less than 150 years earlier, of course, her ancestors had been rousted from these shores. Her family had been among the...
Upper Missouri Waterkeeper, Montana Environmental Information Center, and the Madison River Foundation filed a citizens complaint today with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regarding NorthWestern Energy’s failure to uphold the conditions of Hebgen Dam’s license that resulted in the November 30 dewatering event on the Upper Madison River. “This formal complaint is the means for holding NorthWestern Energy accountable for its dam’s failure, a thorough third-party investigation of impacts, and targeted action to make the river a...
In the pre-dawn hours of Dec. 16, a massive haul truck inched into Boulder carrying a 70-foot-long building. Crews steered the structure off Main Street at the L&P Grocery, then down Monroe Street for a few blocks before turning onto West Fourth Avenue and settling, around 6 a.m., behind Boulder Elementary School. Boulder had its child care center. The building's midnight run, from the Jim Darcy Elementary School north of Helena, took six hours. Really, though, it capped a yearlong journey that...

The name Makoshika (Ma-ko’-shi-ka) is a variant spelling of a Lakota phrase meaning ‘bad land’ or ‘bad earth.’ Today, as Montana’s largest state park, the badlands of Makoshika are set aside for visitors to see and enjoy. In addition to the pine and juniper studded badland formations, the park also houses the fossil remains of such dinosaurs as Tyrannosaurus Rex and Triceratops. A newly remodeled visitor center (with a gift shop) at the park entrance houses a Triceratops skull and other badland interpretive displays. The park includes an...
The grizzly bear. The wolf. The cougar. These magnificent creatures, apex predators, how can we not admire them? People cross the world for the opportunity to see one in the wilds of Yellowstone or Alaska. There, we view them from a distance, free to indulge our awe in safety. It has been a long time since Americans lived in fear of wild beasts. But now that fear has returned. Fear felt not just in the woods, but also in cities and towns: Paradise, California; Talent, Oregon; and now in suburban Superior and Louisville in Colorado’s Boulder C...
