Monday: Reclaimed Timber, UM Students Blog Grace Trial, Youth Symphony
A Daily Taste of Top Stories
Good morning and happy birthday to West Point; the military academy was established on this day in 1802.

On the Beacon today, Kalispell-based timber framer Derek Swanger uses only reclaimed wood on his projects. Rather than being hidden, his frames become an integral part of a building's interior finish. A group of University of Montana law and journalism students are providing daily, continuously updated online coverage of the W.R. Grace & Co. trial in Missoula through their blog. Columbia Falls lost the State A Boys Basketball Title Saturday night. Plum Creek Timber Co. has begun shutting down the last major sawmill in the Tobacco Valley. Body Talk, an alternative health care method, is spreading in Montana.

The Blackfoot River may hold at least 5,000 more sunken logs to be salvaged. The Montana Liquor Licensing Bureau in Helena has warned Butte bars and businesses that selling booze on the streets during St. Patty's Day festivities is a violation of state law. The Great Falls Youth Orchestra will debut famous Montana musician Philip Aaberg's latest piece this weekend.

And, finally, a man unwisely tried to rob a Tae Kwon Do studio. Happy Monday, everyone.
