Good morning and
happy birthday Quentin Tarantino.
On the Beacon today,
Kenny Guzman, a natural born Flathead fighter, is preparing for an April 4 bout in Kalispell.
Kohl's Department store and PetSmart will not be opening new locations in Kalispell. The man struck and killed along Highway 35 near Finley Point has been identified as
36-year-old William Yarck. And Sen. Max
Baucus presses Transportation Secretary Ray Lahood to funnel stimulus dollars toward Going-to-the-Sun Road rehabilitation.
The
stimulus bill split state House Republicans yesterday, though it sailed through on a 63-33 vote. The debate resulted in one
Gallatin lawmaker being chastised as "out of order" by a fellow Republican. A
judge has ordered Yellowstone Club owner Edra Blixseth to pay $1 million to a Bozeman bank for defaulting on a loan. University of Montana
professors debated a controversial sex column in the campus newspaper yesterday. And a bill establishing
stream access from county bridges heads to the Senate floor today.
Finally, an inmate evacuated the wing of his Washington prison after his
attempt to cook sausage in his toilet caused a fire. What puzzles me here, among other things, is that you'd think a fire in your toilet would be pretty darn easy to extinguish. Have a great weekend.
