The Missoula Police Department is advising the public of hazardous conditions throughout the Missoula area due to strong and gusty winds impacting the region. These high winds are creating dangerous conditions, including reduced vehicle control, blowing debris, and the potential for downed trees and power lines.

We are asking community members to only travel if absolutely necessary. If you are able to delay travel, please do so to help keep yourself and others safe and to reduce the demand on emergency responders.

If travel cannot be avoided, please use extra caution by:
 Reducing speed
 Being alert for debris in roadways
 Watching for downed trees, power lines, and damaged traffic signals
 Avoiding parking near trees or unstable structures

Limiting unnecessary travel during high wind events helps prevent injuries and property damage while allowing first responders to focus on critical calls.

Never touch anything (including a tree) that may be in contact with power lines. Report downed power lines immediately to NorthWestern Energy: 888-467-2669.

For emergencies, call 911. For non-emergency assistance, contact Missoula Police Department at (406) 552-6300.

This is what we were talking about this morning. Wonderful People if you need them.

To the world, she is an elderly woman with a cane.
In her heart, she is forever the dancer on center stage.

That space between who we are inside and what our bodies can still manage is where Templar’s Hearth does its work. We provide in-home assisted living for older adults and the physically challenged, helping people stay safely at home with steadier hands, stronger backs, and the quiet pride of living on their own terms.

If someone you love is starting to need support, but home is where they belong, please send us a message.

This is so sad. Great Guy. We Love Raul and The Mavericks!

It’s with the deepest grief we share the passing of our friend, bandmate and brother Raul Malo on December 8th, 2025 at the age of 60.

Anyone with the pleasure of being in Raul’s orbit knew that he was a force of human nature, with an infectious energy. Over a career of more than three decades entertaining millions around the globe, his towering creative contributions and unrivaled, generational talent created the kind of multicultural American music reaching far beyond America itself.

While his spirited performances garnered a massive & loyal following, and his powerful songwriting and musicianship earned multiple Grammy, ACM, and CMA awards, it was his lifelong commitment to the preservation of the multi-lingual American musical repertoire of which he was most proud, making history in 2020 with the first album ever to debut at the top of both the Latin Pop and Folk-Americana charts. It was this commitment, along with his steadfast championing of music education as an inspiration for every child across America and throughout the world, for which Raul was honored with the Americana Music Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award, and the National Music Council of the United States’ American Eagle Award.

Though his earthly body may have passed, Raul’s spirit will live on forever in heaven, and here on earth through the music, joy, and light he brought forth. His contributions to American and Latin music will be everlasting, as his songs and voice touched fans and fellow artists around the world.

Raul is survived by his loving wife of 34 years, Betty; sons Dino, Victor, and Max, mother Norma, sister Carol, and Mavericks bandmates Paul Deakin, Eddie Perez, and Jerry Dale McFadden.

The family thanks everyone for their love & support, and asks for privacy at this time.

Sad. Another Hollywood Great Gone...

Robert Redford is one of the most iconic actors and filmmakers in American cinema, celebrated for his rugged charm, versatile talent, and lasting impact on the industry. Born in 1936 in Santa Monica, California, Redford's early interest in painting eventually led him to acting. His breakout role came in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (1969) alongside Paul Newman, which launched him into stardom. Redford's performances in films like "The Sting" (1973), "All the President’s Men" (1976), and "Out of Africa" (1985) showcased his range and solidified his status as a leading man of substance and intelligence.

Beyond acting, Redford has made significant contributions as a director and producer. His directorial debut, "Ordinary People" (1980), won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. He went on to direct and produce thought-provoking films such as "A River Runs Through It" and "Quiz Show." Redford also founded the Sundance Film Festival in 1985, which has become the premier showcase for independent filmmakers and a vital platform for innovative storytelling. His commitment to artistic freedom and cinematic excellence has helped nurture generations of filmmakers.

Throughout his career, Robert Redford has been a staunch advocate for environmental causes and political activism. His blend of celebrity influence and genuine passion has elevated important conversations about conservation, democracy, and the arts. Retired from acting but still active in the creative world, Redford’s legacy is defined by his multifaceted contributions to cinema and society.

1st place Charley Pride ever was "Paid" to play. He was stationed in Great Falls at the time. Pretty cool.

The Log Cabin Bar, about 10 miles south of Deer Lodge has been closed for some 18 years and now sits silent. But, it bustled with excitement for many years. It started as a railroad depot in the 1880s and then turned into a watering hole/post office combo. It survived the last several years as a western bar. Hank Williams drank there, Charlie Pride played there and it was even the set for a Lucky Lager commercial.
