Good morning; on the Beacon today, Chuck Baldwin hasn’t stated outright that he plans to run for governor of Montana. But in a speech to a packed room at the Outlaw Inn in Kalispell last week, he all but declared his candidacy, describing the prospect as, “so thrilling I just get goose bumps.” Douglas F. Wise, a local legend who owned Sykes’ Grocery and Market for more than 60 years, passed away Jan. 14 at the age of 93. Lawmakers preparing to look at a long list of DUI proposals were told Monday that juveniles who kill while driving drunk in some cases should be tried as adults.
A bill to require students to stay in school until they are 18 or have graduated has failed in a Senate committee. Landowners asked legislators Monday to tilt eminent domain laws more toward their favor — less than a week after opposing industry interests asked the opposite. A report detailing the harrowing rescue efforts of snowmobilers caught in a deadly avalanche near Hungry Horse Reservoir on Jan. 8 does not identify what triggered the slide, but describes a "rollercoaster" of weather conditions that destabilized the snow and prompted officials to warn against travel in avalanche terrain. More than 200 people gathered for an anti-abortion rally at the Capitol Monday, including two dozen legislators, as abortion opponents predicted the 2011 Legislature will approve bills to restrict abortion in Montana. The Queen City News, the free Helena-based weekly paper featuring local news, opinion and entertainment listings, has stopped publication, and its publisher is not saying if it has plans to resume. A college welding instructor, a state microbiologist, a chemical treatment center technician and a Job Service business advocate spoke at a rally for state employee unions on Monday to urge lawmakers to pass the governor's proposed budget and the state pay plan.

The Montana Supreme Court denied a request to disqualify the District Court judge scheduled to preside over the trial for an Evergreen teen charged with two counts of deliberate homicide, but her attorneys have asked that the decision be reconsidered. Jeff Russell opened the doors to Great Northern Pasta Company on Lupfer Avenue in Whitefish in November. A weekend stabbing has left one Hungry Horse man in jail and another in the hospital. The Glacier Nordic Center maintains 13 kilometers of cross-country ski trails looping across the serene landscape of Whitefish Lake Golf Course.
Now that lawmakers have convened in Helena, they are being asked to consider two competing physician-assisted suicide measures: one that would create rules for doctors who are asked to write a prescription for a lethal dose of medication and another that would ban assisted suicide altogether. Dozens of residents in Helena were awakened by an earthquake overnight. The Polson Police Department is seeking the public's help in locating Shawn Douglas Sipes, a Polson resident who has been reported missing. Chuck Johnson writes that controversy in the Legislature's "feed bill" amounts to chicken feed. By the year 2025, nearly one in four Montanans will have surpassed the age of 65. Helena Police Chief Troy McGee says he's received many calls from residents wanting to know if riding a horse while under the influence is legal. McGee tells the Independent Record newspaper that it is. Montana Republicans' assault on our federal health reform law, officially launched last week at the Legislature, sets up a game of chicken with the federal government, which is asking states to help implement parts of the law.

What was once Montana's first Catholic monastery is now a sanctuary for those stricken by dementia. Flathead County officials say a Kalispell man was detained and later released after accidentally shooting a sleeping neighbor while cleaning a gun in his apartment. Glass artist Barry Hood’s work is featured in the Hockaday Museum of Art’s newest round of exhibits. His show, “Flow,” as well as local metal smith Wayne Hammer’s intricate jewelry, will take over the museum’s main level from Jan. 6 to March 17.
Montana's wildlife commission endorsed a plan Thursday to study whether bison should be relocated to parts of the state where they once roamed free, a move advocates called a first step to rectifying "a national disgrace." Montana lawmakers are considering bills to regulate the growth and sale of medical marijuana. The president of the Utah Senate on Thursday debunked a story by Sen. Verdell Jackson, R-Kalispell, about six gun-wielding Utah senators stopping an armed intruder there. While Republican state lawmakers are working to block federal health reform, many of them are signing up for coverage on the state employee health plan or equivalent subsidies of their personal health insurance costs. Tiered or “inverted block” utility rates meant to promote energy conservation should be allowed only if they reflect the utility's actual costs — and not for the purposes of social engineering, said the sponsor of a bill to restrict such rates. Snoop Dogg fans who are hoping to get a little closer to the Doggfather during his show Jan. 23 in Great Falls just have to dip into their cupboards to ensure a good spot.

After nearly two days of bitter, profanity-laced infighting between Republicans, Bill Gallagher reluctantly became the new chairman of the Montana Public Service Commission last week. Authorities have identified the elderly married couple whose bodies were found after a house fire in Kalispell was extinguished: 74-year-old John Nelson and his 72-year-old wife Jacqueline "Jackie" Nelson. And Mick Holien observes the debacle of the NCAA suspending Ohio State University football players for the first five games next year for indiscretions, yet allowing them to play for the Buckeyes in the Sugar Bowl.
Utilities and supporters of a high-voltage power line in north-central Montana asked the Legislature Wednesday to make sure eminent domain can be used to build such projects when private landowners won't let them. Republicans running the Montana Legislature who have launched bills aimed at undermining a federal health care law they believe is unconstitutional may themselves be running up against the state Constitution by trying to order the attorney general to take action. Under pressure from some members of Congress, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is easing up on regulating global warming pollution from facilities that burn biomass for energy. A Thompson Falls lawmaker wants Montanans to have the option of hunting with a hand-thrown spear. A cast member of the reality show "Jersey Shore" is wearing a pendant by a Missoula jewelry maker. The new commander of the Air Force Global Strike Command says bases in Montana, Wyoming and North Dakota could each lose 10 intercontinental ballistic missiles as a result of the new arms control treaty with Russia. The stock index run by D.A. Davidson & Co. of Great Falls that tracks 99 regional companies outperformed three of the top national stock indexes last year. Since its inception in 2003, Iowa's Help Us Stop Hunger program has allowed hunters to feed 7.1 million quarter-pound servings of venison to hungry residents. It's the type of program state Sen. Jeff Essmann, R-Billings, would like to see copied in Montana. Montana farms and ranches had a $3 billion year in 2010, thanks to good weather and strong prices, officials said Wednesday. With all Democrats voting no, the House passed the bill to pay for the costs of the 2011 legislative session. Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., will join Rep. Denny Rehberg, R-Mont., as speakers at the Lewis and Clark Lincoln/Reagan dinner in Helena on Feb. 5. Authorities have confirmed that gray wolves preyed on livestock in central Montana's Fergus County for what is believed to be the first time.

Comments (0) TotalGood morning; on the Beacon today, fire chiefs throughout the Flathead Valley – at least those interviewed for this story – expressed nearly universal puzzlement that the proposed Polson accident response fees have garnered so much attention: especially since such fees are relatively common throughout Montana and the nation. Two people died in an early morning fire Wednesday in Kalispell. Authorities have identified a 68-year-old man who died while skiing at the Whitefish Mountain Resort over the weekend: Richard T. Swope. It’s cold and flu season in the Flathead, and so far county health officials have confirmed influenza and a higher-than-usual rate of whooping cough cases throughout the valley. Flathead County commissioners are expected to decide on a permit for the Glacier Guides Lodge in West Glacier before the end of the month after the they voted to delay their decision on Jan. 4, citing concerns about the lodge’s water supply, septic system and capacity rates. The sponsor of a bill making it illegal to kill an unborn child says the proposal has nothing to do with abortion — even though abortion foes and supporters lined up to take different positions on the measure.
Republicans started scaling back budget expectations Tuesday with proposed cuts across state government — from schools to nursing homes — in a move aimed at making it easier to reduce state spending as lawmakers hash out spending plans. State lawmakers are considering a bill that would make it easier for utilities to meet the standard for renewable energy production, a proposal that conservationists say would make the standard meaningless. The U.S. teen birth rate in 2009 fell to its lowest level in nearly seven decades of record-keeping — a trend that is mirrored in Montana — according to a recently released government report. The Republicans running the Montana Legislature are being told that one of their main ideas for undermining the federal health care law may itself be unconstitutional. Montanans may soon be able to add a hand-thrown spear to their arsenal for big game hunting. The Senate Fish and Game Committee on Tuesday discussed, and then nearly voted to approve, a bill to legalize the practice. Missoula attorney James Park Taylor has resigned from his position on the Montana Public Defender Commission, citing various inadequacies within the institution and expressing little hope for change under its current leadership. The Montana Public Service Commission, in its first major action with a new Republican majority, said Tuesday it will decide Feb. 1 whether to re-examine portions of a NorthWestern Energy rate case decided last month. GOP members made it clear they want it revisited. The new Congress may have pledged to just say no to earmarks, but Montana's universities have their multi-million dollar wish lists ready, just in case "no" turns into "yes."

Gov. Brian Schweitzer lambasted Republicans running the Legislature Monday for approving money to get new laptop computers for lawmakers, arguing the move is hypocritical since they ran campaigns opposing government spending. An Army intelligence officer from Montana who was fatally shot while jogging on a recreational trail in North Carolina was remembered Monday as a soldier and friend who always strived for excellence. Montana Republicans in charge at the Legislature — largely opposed to the federal health care law — might also consider getting the state completely out of Medicaid. Opponents of a plan to allow ConocoPhillips to ship oversized oil-refinery equipment from Idaho to Montana are challenging a hearing officer's recommendation that the proposal move forward. As state lawmakers on Monday considered hiring a police officer to beef up Capitol security after a congresswoman was shot in Arizona, Sen. Verdell Jackson, R-Kalispell, has a bill to allow legislators with concealed gun permits to bring their weapons into the statehouse for protection. The much talked about purchase of the Macy's building in downtown Missoula is now a done deal. The horrific shooting of 20 people in Tucson over the weekend has stirred public debate about the security of public officials, though most say the threat level has been elevated for some time. Two major issues of the 2011 Legislature intersected in a House Judiciary Committee hearing Monday morning as lawmakers heard testimony on a bill that would prohibit illegal immigrant workers from collecting workers' compensation benefits.

Comments (0) TotalGood morning; on the Beacon today, it was a tragic weekend in the snow, as a skier, snowboarder and snowmobiler were killed. Scott Allen Meyer, 29, died after falling into a tree well at Whitefish Mountain Resort. Also on Jan. 8, ski area employees found a 68-year-old man unconscious in the middle of a ski run at about 1 p.m. and started CPR. He was taken to North Valley Hospital in Whitefish and was pronounced dead. And Bruce Lee Jungnitsch, 53, was killed in an avalanche while snowmobiling near Hungry Horse Reservoir. Joe Arnone is preparing to mount his bike for a 12-hour ride on Jan. 29, entirely on a stationary bicycle inside Kalispell’s Sportsman and Ski Haus, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. What better way to celebrate the New Year than by sliding across the frozen surface of the Woodland Park pond with family and friends?
The suspect accused of killing six people and wounding Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was decribed as a disturbed young man who was rejected by the military and frequently disrupted his college class. An ambitious list of priorities for new House Republican leaders is topped by a plan to boost the natural resource industry by limiting lawsuits filed against development projects, along with plans to spur business growth in several other ways. Attorneys from Montana and Wyoming are scheduled to square off before the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday in a cross-border dispute over the region's scarce water supplies. The Missoula City Council is considering draft regulations when it comes to naming public parks and trails with corporate names in exchange for money. Glacier Bank officials say they are rebuilding their Eureka branch on the site where fire destroyed their building in October. Taking aim at a $14 trillion national debt and annual federal budget deficit of about $1.3 trillion, U.S. Rep. Denny Rehberg, R-Mont., has co-sponsored a constitutional amendment to require a balanced federal budget — a move he has made every Congress since he first entered the House in 2001. Montana's job market appears to be improving but is changing from construction work to employment in health care and education, state officials say. Mike Dennison breaks down how the Legislature's budget battle reflects the differing philosophies of Democrats and Republicans. A Belt native who is a wrecker operator in Afghanistan was selected as the Regional Command (Southwest) Marine of the Year on Jan. 2.

The nation's unemployment rate dropped to 9.4 percent last month, its lowest level in 19 months. That was because more people found jobs, but also because some people gave up on their job searches. Federal environmental officials said Thursday they plan to reject Montana air quality rules that allow oil and gas companies to obtain emissions permits after they have already started drilling. An advocacy group is defying the state medical board's ban on using video teleconferences to examine people seeking medical marijuana cards, saying the medium is necessary for people who don't have access to a doctor. State Revenue Director Dan Bucks told lawmakers Thursday if they want to chop his agency's budget, they also will be reducing the amount of state tax revenue available for the next two years. A temporary U.S. Forest Service firefighter who lit some small fires and later worked on extinguishing them was sentenced Thursday in federal court in Missoula to two years of probation and ordered to pay $1,111 in restitution. Members of the Legislature's joint natural resources and transportation subcommittee grilled the head of Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks on Thursday over property acquisitions, potential bison relocations, the implications of the voter-approved abolishment of outfitter-sponsored nonresident big game licenses and an FWP bookmark one senator found at a local library. More visitors entered Yellowstone National Park by snowcoach last month compared with December 2009, though overall visitation to the park decreased slightly, officials reported Thursday. Still shaking his head that the IRS had taken so long to notice, U.S. District Judge Richard Cebull on Wednesday sentenced a Miles City man for collecting more than $1 million in illegal tax refunds. Nearly 100 employers from across the state will be telling legislators at four hearings Saturday what changes they think are needed to get Montanans back to work. As of Jan. 1, snowpack is 12 percent above average — and 46 percent greater than on Jan. 1, 2010, according to NRCS.
