Pull into the DQ parking [...] 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 [...] Superhero Hayden Bosshardt bestows a homemade flower on Flor-Haven resident Jennifer Deutsch. “It’s lovely. Thank you,” said Deutsch, which is the only reward a superhero needs. Photo by MICHAEL GALLACHER/Missoulian In editing stories for Sunday’s newspaper this afternoon, I came across a quote from a gentleman – the subject of our Sunday Territory feature – [...] Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks wardens, with an assist by NorthWestern Energy crews, catch a black bear as it falls from a tree in downtown Missoula. The resulting photo was photography editor Kurt Wilson’s favorite of 2010. KURT WILSON/Missoulian Growing up, my family had one never-to-be-broken New Year’s Day tradition. Black-eyed peas.
