Due to a lack of funding, there will be no horse racing at the 2012 Northwest Montana Fair and Rodeo.
According to Flathead County Fairgrounds Manager Mark Campbell, the Kalispell Turf Club decided against horse racing this year after weighing the program’s costs and revenues “very carefully.” The state Board of Horse Racing would not provide monetary support to help offset costs, Campbell said in a prepared statement.

Chase the snow to Blacktail Mountain in Lakeside for an ideal day of family skiing.
Located on more than 1,000 acres of U.S. National Forest land and featuring 1,440 feet of vertical elevation, there is plenty of mountain to shred for any ability while the north-facing slopes keep the snow light and dry and help protect runs from wind.

WHITEFISH – Vernon Vanderhoef sat against a wall, peered out the picture window and strapped on his boots. Outside skiers and snowboarders slid down the slopes, much like he was about to do, even though he hadn't skied in years.
The chores of everyday life have prevented him from skiing as much as he once did, before he was married, had kids and a job – before he suffered a fall during a firefight in Iraq. Internal scars still linger, both physically and mentally.

There were guests from all over at our house the other night for dinner. Twenty-eight in all, and the following afternoon we had our regular Open House Tea in the afternoon. That was probably another 50 people or so.
The guests came from Florida, Venezuela, China, Texas, Boston, Alaska, California, Seattle, the heat of Palm Springs, and Mexico, too. If I thought that the guests were all having a grand old time, imagine how the microbes were doing. Those infectious germs met all kinds of new friends and instantly started propagating just for the fun of it and leaving all manner of breathing problems behind them.

I’ve endured my share of head knocks and a few to the point of momentary unconsciousness.
Some have come in recent years. My lack of mobility and the inability to step higher than a pencil has caused me to trip and, it seems, my Norwegian heritage causes me to lead with my noggin.

WHITEFISH — In the Vasquez family, almost everyone wrestles. There’s Rich, a former NAIA national champion who still coaches locally. There’s Will, a former standout at Columbia Falls High School. And there’s a whole group of younger Vasquezes carrying on the family sport today; even one of Will’s female nieces wrestles. But there’s one noticeable exception – Will’s oldest son, Gage.
Standing 6-foot-5 with a 6-foot-7 wingspan, Gage has distinguished himself with a strong athletic pedigree all his own.

The National Park Service outlined new directives last week to help protect and support national parks nationwide, which include increasing outreach to youth and other populations, using technology to attract more visitors and improve park experiences and nurturing a stronger relationship with local communities.
Inspired by the NPS’s recent “Call to Action” report that highlighted challenges and opportunities facing national parks, NPS leaders, advocates and supporters discussed ways to meet those demands and evolve the park system at America’s Summit on National Parks in Washington DC on Jan. 24-26.
