So if you’re putting on some sort of event the public is invited to, please send your information to newsdesk@missoulian.com in the next couple [...]

Kids and sports and the newspaper

This is the time of year when I get nostalgic about watching my kids play T-ball and Little League. I’ve conveniently repressed the memories of shivering in the ever-unpredictable springtime weather, and remember instead how much fun everyone – kids and parents – were having.

I know thousands of folks in western Montana are in the [...]

Is this your prom photo?

We are honored to have been chosen as the backdrop for three couples’ pre-prom photo last night, as two Missoula high schools held their spring formals.

A reader e-mailed us this photo taken on the lawn in front of our building as the couples headed to dinner.

Problem is, they didn’t send along the cutline info – [...]

Potholes! We’re fighting back!

Photograph by KURT WILSON/Missoulian

Recognize that pothole in the shot Missoulian photography editor Kurt Wilson took this morning?

Have a favorite pothole of your own?

Turns out, it’s a TERRIBLE year for potholes in Missoula. Keila Szpaller has the explanation in tomorrow’s Missoulian.

In the meantime, just for fun – and to brighten our overly gray days of [...]

Uncover Missoula 2011: We need your help!

One of our biggest community service projects of the year – our Uncover Missoula publication – is under way.

That’s the Missoulian’s booklet that provides local residents with a variety of information about Missoula, including nonprofits, clubs, health resources, schools and more.

I know lots of folks who keep it with their essential references all year through [...]

Please send me your nominations and contact information, either by replying to this [...]

Why I love Missoula: Superheroes of Kindness

In editing stories for Sunday’s newspaper this afternoon, I came across a quote from a gentleman – the subject of our Sunday Territory feature – [...]

Hey kids! Send us Bitterroot Valley weather drawings!

Last week, we added a new daily feature to the Ravalli Republic’s print edition: a half-page, full-color weather report.

It’s a nice meaty “extra” for readers in the Bitterroot Valley, but there’s one thing missing: We need weather drawings from Ravalli County kids to fill one remaining spot on the page.

The daily weather drawing is a [...]

2011 Montana Legislature: Tuna vs. lions

It is the eve of the 2011 Montana Legislature, and here in the Missoulian newsroom we are ready for another epic “Lion vs. Tuna” session. A Democratic governor. A newly elected Republican majority in the House and Senate. Loads of freshman legislators. Loads of hot-button issues.

Thus, the video clip above, with thanks to first-time legislator [...]
