Good morning; on the Beacon today, conservation groups are in Spain this week hoping to get a UNESCO commission to declare Glacier and Waterton National Parks World Heritage Sites in Danger. Tempers flared at a meeting last week with the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes fisheries division over a plan to reduce Flathead Lake’s nonnative lake trout population. The Kalispell City Council meets tonight to look at its other options for selecting a city manager after its first pick, Matt McKillip, turned down the job offer. Flathead County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a public meeting in Somers last week, after a gathering meant to provide information on a potential neighborhood plan dissolved into a shouting match. The new Italian eatery, Bonelli's Bistro, brings Mediterranean cuisine to downtown Kalispell. And Kitchen Guy Jim Gray explains what real Kobe beef is like.
