Rocketman Pyros traveled almost 150 miles last week to send more than 1,000 shells into the darkness for the annual New Year’s nighttime extravaganza fireworks show at Quinn’s Hot Springs Resort. As the 167 guests at the resort’s Paradise Hall sang “Auld Lang Syne” — the traditional song to say farewell to the old year at midnight — played by the Missoula band Northern Lights, the fireworks burst to cast a myriad of colors over the Clark Fork River. The show lasted only six minutes, but received a huge applause from those at the event center an...

My 2024 goal was to read 175 books. I was able to squeak out 177, I still can’t believe it! My main problem in December was wanting to pick up and begin a ton of books without finishing any of the ones I started because I am so inspired by the ESO Program through the Woman’s Club that I just learned out and now my TBR list has exploded. The idea behind ESO is to pursue self-improvement through education, specifically through reading and discussion. It’s right up my alley and I can’t believe I never knew about it before. Despite startin...
In recognition of National Radon Action Month, the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is offering Montana residents a free radon test kit during the month of January to assess radon levels in their homes. Radon is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas that can enter homes through miniscule cracks in the foundation or around utility pipes and can build up in homes over time. Radon forms from the breakdown or decay of uranium in soil, rock and water. Long-term exposure to elevated radon levels can increase the risk of lung...
