CULTURE NEWS

  • Jim Harmon’s 1925 article recounts how the Sentinel Pine on Mount Jumbo witnessed 350 years of Missoula’s history— from native life and early explorers to the first settlements that shaped the city.

ENVIRONMENT NEWS

HEALTH NEWS

  • Montanans are urged to check their freezers for recalled 4 in/1.6oz celery sticks from Duda Farm Fresh Foods Inc. sold at Walmart stores — the product, with a best if used by date of 03/23, may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes that could seriously harm young children and older adults.
