Wolf "problem" hits home
County Commissioners met on Wednesday to discuss the possibility of declaring Mineral County a disaster area, which would give citizens the right to kill a wolf if it threatened people, livestock or big-game animals. This proposed resolution is patterned after a similar one drafted by commissioners in Idaho County, Idaho, which asked Gov. Butch Otter to allow wolves to be eradicated in north-central Idaho County by any means necessary.

Review of "The Miracle Worker"
The Miracle Worker (In other words the story of Helen Keller) was one of the best performances by the Montana Repertory Theatre I myself have ever seen. I thought this because the story was easy to follow, it was all from the original script except they added projections of images (the most show were of what Helen was experiencing in her view point). Its cast was phenomenal. From what I observed at the Banquet, they all got along nicely and when forced with adopting a family mentality they pulled it off. I was particularly impressed with the manner they acted when faced with having no work with a blind character. It felt like a life style and raw emotion. And lastly it wasn’t amateurs doing this. These were very experienced and their acting skills were top notch. An example was Annie Sullivan played by Caitlin Mclae struggle to find some way to reach Helen and she made it feel like as if it were a real conflict you were looking down upon. No part of it felt forged.
