It started with an email. Mark Jones wrote to Montana State University President Waded Cruzado asking how he and his wife, Robyn, could use their resources in partnership with the university to better the state's health care system. Three years later, on Tuesday afternoon, the Joneses, Cruzado and other MSU administrators and partners donned hard hats to ceremonially break ground on a new nursing education building at MSU. The new building will provide faculty and students with state-of-the-art...

While I was thrilled to pull the cover off the pellet grill a few days ago, I was disgusted for completely overlooking cleaning late last fall. We were in the process of moving, so there was a lot to do, and spending a few minutes tidying up the grill was not high on my list of priorities, although it probably should have been. Once I spent time making a mess of myself, including my face, the front door, and into the kitchen, I was finally ready to cook outside for the first time since October.... Full story

The Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is hosting a public meeting to provide updates on a multi-year water quality study for the middle segment of the Gallatin River, from Yellowstone National Park to Spanish Creek.

A TMDL defines the amount of a certain pollutant a waterbody can hold before it impacts water quality and no... Full story
