William Shakespeare once said, "Some are born to greatness, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." The old bard may not have had the Opheim student body in mind when he said it, but the spirit of that sentiment was witnessed Friday night, March 1, in the Viking Gymnasium during the Missoula Children's Theatre production of The Secret Garden. Willingly, and some not-so-willing, students at the Opheim school performed the play for an audience of more than 60 people...
Montana Senators Jon Tester and Steve Daines and Montana Representative Greg Gianforte supported and helped pass The Natural Resources Management Act (NRMA) which include 170 separate provisions and is the most important public lands legislation passed since the 1970s.

For Montana, the Act is important in that it permanently authorizes and funds the L...
Tempers were sparked as concerned citizens spoke during the public comment period at the Glasgow City Council on March 4.

Ordinance 1881 applies to vehicles parked on the streets of Glasgow without being moved more than five feet over a period of five days. According to Sergeant Tyler Edwards with the Glasgow Police Department, the department had worked on a warning system...
Dear Editor, "To Serve and Protect" was – at one time- an extremely high standard the City Council proudly required from the Glasgow City Police. Unfortunately, this is not the impression I got from the March 4 City Council meeting I wanted Ordinance 18-81 – pertaining to overtime parking – to be amended, so I attended the meeting to find out what steps a citizen could take to amend a city ordinance....for instance, gather signatures and present a petition, etc. Here is the issue. One or more...
Dear Editor, Highway Fatality Markers stand beside the road in the location of a fatality, they are not a memorial marker. They are placed [and] maintained by members of the American Legion.

Dear Editor, Montana is a state with a proud history of firsts. We were the first state to elect a woman to Congress: our very own Jeannette Rankin. We were also the first state in the nation to enact sweeping anti-corruption legislation in the Copper King era, after wealthy business interests in our state used their influence to buy a Senate seat. But in some measures, Montana's first place status is not always worthy of celebration. According to a 2018 study by the Center for Disease Control,...
Do you remember all of the old iron bridges? As a young person I never was sure I liked going over them, or if they just scared me a little. That may have been the only type of major bridge constructed in a given era. I definitely remember the old iron bridge on the Tampico Road; I know that there was an iron bridge on the road going out on 6th Ave So. Of course, I got to cross the bridge over the river at Tampico and the one at Vandalia. I think there was a bridge crossing the Milk River on the Fort Peck Hwy (by the old Ken’s Club, but that i...
As the year advances, my thoughts turn from what book to read or which craft to continue working on to my vegetable garden and how many varieties of flowers I want to decorate my yard. Many folks say they know Spring is near when their Gurney’s catalog arrives. I know I can spend hours looking at the colorful pictures and reading descriptions and prices. Then there’s the list to write and rewrite over and over again. While looking at the catalog, memories surface of gardens and flowers of years past. Like the year I planted a large ring of Swee...
