If left unattended, that slow drip overhead can turn into a ceiling that collapses – costing far more to repair and threatening the integrity of the entire home. The same should be true for our public buildings such as schools, city halls, police stations, and tribal government buildings. But the reality is that many of Montana's aging public facilities are far behind in k...

Fifty-two of the 56 counties in Montana are faced with shortages in primary care, with nine of those counties having no doctors at all. One of the first things...

In our “Dr. Al Olszewski Campaigns in Glasgow” story that was published on Aug. 14 issue, we incorrectly credited the Missoula Current for indicating Olszewski has received endorsements and donations from the right wing of the state Republican party.

Shortly after I wrote last week's column I was perusing the new and used Glasgow sale site via Facebook. I happened to be the first respondent to an offer of free locally-grown apples.
