The other day I received a press release that announced Montana had hit a 14-year low for unemployment. At first glance, this was great news for the Treasure State, but I became confused the more I thought about it. The numbers are undoubtedly positive, but at the same time, there are plenty of places that are desperately in need of help, so the outlook is not as promising as it may appear. Businesses in Three Forks and the Gallatin Valley, especially restaurants, are having difficulty finding staff. Some fast-food establishments have closed...
In my humble opinion, there isn’t much better to eat than a perfectly cooked steak. I always love trying a steakhouse while traveling and love to throw one on the grill during the summertime. We don’t have steak too often at the house, but there are no complaints from anyone and rarely any leftovers whenever we do. During Labor Day weekend, I had family members come to the area, and they rented a house. I did most of the cooking, and one day we decided to have steak. The rental only had a very tiny charcoal grill, and I was a bit int... Full story
HELENA - The commission tasked with dividing Montana into two U.S. House districts for the first time since the 1980s asked the public for input last month.

The proposals are, literally, all over the map. They include efforts that group most of the state's urban areas into a single district and divide the state... Full story

The Wolves responded both times, winning the first two sets 25-21, 25-20 on their way to a four-set home victory, their first of the conference season.

Nurses fill the hospital room to turn a patient from his stomach to his back. The ventilator forcing air into him is most effective when he's on his stomach, so he is in that position most hours of the day, sedated and paralyzed by drugs. Lying on his stomach all those hours has produced sores on his face, and one nurse dabs at the wounds. The dark lesions are insignificant given his current state, but she continues just the same, gently, soothingly, appearing to whisper to him as she works....
