In the final showdown of the season, the Clark Fork U17 girls soccer team beat two large clubs to take second place in the 3BR tournament. The tournament was played in Kalispell earlier this month and drew teams from across the Pacific Northwest and Canada. In the first game of the tournament, Clark Fork faced off against the Calgary Blizzard. Neither team waited for an invitation to play.

The miles: 2,973. That's how far Montana is from the North Pole according to an internet search. Now, depending on what you believe, there may or may not be elves at the North Pole who make toys.

by Michael Scharfe We had hoped we would start seeing more of a declining trend in interest rates by now. As we continue to see higher rates, you might be wondering if there is any way to get a lower rate than what is currently being offered. The answer to that question is “Yes!” This comes by way of what is called “buying down the rate.” To buy down the rate, you would do just as the term implies: buy (or pay a fee) to get a lower rate. For instance, if the standard rate available to you at the time was 7% and you wanted to get a lower r...
