    Note: This is excerpted from "The Missoula City Band: Stories in Time." By the end of the 19th century, the Garden City Band had improved enough to perform evening concerts regularly. They also found themselves accompanying fraternal organizations like the Modern Woodmen of America to conventions, playing in July 4 parades, following ball teams "up the 'Root" [the Bitterroot Valley] and continuing their annual performances at the fair. In April 1904, the band initiated the new...

  • Conversations with God

    Updated Jan 24, 2019

    Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, it’s fascinating when friends share a picture of sunsets, sunrises, and intriguing cloud shapes that they have seen and enjoyed, especially when they entitle it, “View from a front porch rocking chair.” Sharing the photos with a friend, she wondered if the world would be different if every one of us gazed at the lovely evening skies.

  • Bright Ideas

    Lois Lambert|Updated Jan 24, 2019

    In winter one main job is to keep the home warm, whether with coal or wood fires or later with gas or electricity. There is nothing warmer than sitting in front of a blazing wood fire, but that warmth doesn’t travel far; the rest of the house remains cold. The same is true of propane heaters, and electricity. You need a furnace or electric heaters in several rooms. We don’t have room in our crawl space for the necessary ductwork. We resort to electric heaters throughout the house. We have a pellet stove with a fan that cir...

  • Hat Tips

    Dean Meyer|Updated Jan 24, 2019

    Hello, If you watch the news every day, you begin to think that the world is becoming more and more hateful. You don’t see much good news. It seems that “love thy neighbor” has pretty much gone out the window. If we disagree with someone, it becomes personal. That is too bad. But sometimes, adversity can bring out the best of this wonderful world. A fire. A tornado. A flood. A hurricane. Natural disasters seem to bring people together. There are often memes on social media with the line, “Why do I live where the weather...

  • Girl Scout gives back
