On June 12, the lawsuit Held v. State of Montana will go to trial in Helena's district court. In the lawsuit, brought by 16 youth plaintiffs from across Montana, allege that Montana, through its executive agencies, has knowingly approved projects and implemented policies that support a fossil-fuel based energy system that adds dangerous levels of greenhouse gas pollution to the atmosphere, contributing to climate change, damaging Montana's environment and harming the state's youth. The lawsuit is predicated on the Montana Constitution, written in 1972, which enshrines the right to a clean and healthful environment for present and future generations. The Flathead Beacon has produced a comprehensive reporting package on the lawsuit's background, constitutional underpinnings and some of the young plaintiffs. All the reporting, including updates from the two-week trial that begins June 12, can be read at mtclimatecase.flatheadbeacon.com.Later, Micah runs through the news of the week.RELATED LINKSMontana Youth Prepare for Trial in Bellwether Climate Case Against StateWho is ‘Held' of Held v.

Northwest Montana has produced its fair share of singers and songwriters, including the indie-folk duo Big Sky City Lights, made up of Whitefish's Nick Spear and New York City's Susan O'Dea. The two met more than a decade ago, and during the pandemic began remotely writing and recording together. That remote relationship eventually turned into a full length album in 2021 and the duo is hard at work developing a new body of work that will become a second album. In addition, Big Sky City Lights will be touring this summer with a June 3 stop in Kalispell. Host Micah Drew spoke to Nick and Susan about their meeting in Whitefish, the effect living two timezones apart has on their creative process and how performing live shows has played into their newer music.Later, Micah runs through the news of the week.RELATED LINKSBig Sky City Lights Looks Ahead to June Show at FVCC's Wachholz Center68th Montana Legislature AdjournsTwo Incumbents, One Newcomer Win Trustee Positions in Columbia Falls School ElectionKalispell Voters Retain One Incumbent Trustee, Pass Elementary and Reject High School LevyConservation District Appoints Hearing Officer in McDonald Creek Home DisputeFollow Big Sky City Lights on Spotify, YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.Read more about all of this week's stories and get the latest breaking news at flatheadbeacon.com and sign up for our new daily newsletter at flatheadbeacon.com/newsletter.The introductory music in this this episode is “Thinking Music” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License, The episode also features songs from Montana singer/songwriter Mike Murray's album We Are Like Warriors, "The Good Ol' Days You're In" and "Moment of Time," used with permission.

Since the Montana constitution was crafted in 1972, there have only been 34 changes made to the state's governing document, a rate of less than one per year. However over the last three months of the 68th legislative session, Montana Republicans have introduced a record 67 constitutional amendments. This week, Flathead Beacon reporter Denali Sagner wrote about the crossroads the state constitution is facing with multiple efforts, almost all unsuccessful, to alter it. To gain additional insight, host Micah Drew reached out to political analyst and director of the University of Montana School of Journalism Lee Banville, who joins the podcast to share some of his observations from the legislative session.

At 8 a.m. on March 15, Glacier National Park's advance online reservation window opened to a groundswell of prospective backpackers eager to nab a prized wilderness campground permit. Within 10 minutes, however, the park's most coveted campsites had filled, and the reservation window slammed shut on a host of highly sought-after multi-day itineraries.The new online system is part of a nationwide shift toward online, contact-less reservations to access outdoor spaces.Will Rice, the head of the Wildland and Recreation Management Research Lab at the University of Montana uses social science to help wildland recreation managers improve the experiences of all visitors while preserving the ecosystems that support those experiences, and has published studies on different access strategies for recreation spaces like campgrounds. Dr. Rice joined host Micah Drew to talk about his research, how an online system can be exclusionary and what the solutions to managing access to popular outdoor spaces may look like in the future.Later, Micah runs through the news of the week.RELATED LINKSMarch 29 E-EditionAre Online Reservations the Key to Solving Montana's Campground Crunch?MDT Announces Roadway Safety Improvements Planned in Flathead CountyDoctors Warn Abortion Bill Would Restrict Montana Obstetric CareGlacier Symphony and Virtuoso Violinist Midori to Perform at McClaren HallRead more about all of this week's stories and get the latest breaking news at flatheadbeacon.com and sign up for our new daily newsletter at flatheadbeacon.com/newsletter.The introductory music in this this episode is “Thinking Music” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License, The episode also features songs from Montana singer/songwriter Mike Murray's album We Are Like Warriors, "The Good Ol' Days You're In" and "Moment of Time," used with permission.

On May 23, 2007, with the newspaper industry in steep decline, the Flathead Valley awoke to an unlikely new resident: a 24-page tabloid called the Flathead Beacon. The weekly paper, owned by television personality and part-time Bigfork resident Maury Povich, has produced 823 issues over the last 16 years, and on March 28th, the final print issue of the Beacon will hit newsstands in the Flathead Valley.However, the Flathead Beacon news organization isn't going away — it's shifting to a digital-only focus, with more, faster, and innovative ways of bringing breaking and in depth news to our readers. The Beacon will also retain a few print products in the form of its flagship magazine Flathead Living (on stands this week). Beacon editor in chief Kellyn Brown joined the podcast to talk about the state of the news industry, the decision to stop printing the newspaper and what readers and supporters of the Flathead Beacon can expect from now on.

Republican Mark Racicot served as the 21st governor of Montana from 1993 to 2001 who then went on to lead the Republican National Committee and serve as chair of George W. Bush's reelection campaign in 2004. In recent years, however, Racicot has emerged as a vocal critic of the Republican Party's direction, and his opposition of Donald Trump and Trump-supporting Republicans, including U.S. Representative Ryan Zinke has drawn the ire of the Montana GOP. On Feb 16, the Montana Republican State Central Committee released a letter officially rebuking the former governor, and stating that he was no longer a member of the party and should not be considered as someone who speaks for the GOP. Beacon reporter Denali Sagner spent an afternoon with Racicot and shares some of her conversation with him about how politics has changed since he was involved and his reaction to being excommunicated from his party.

This week the Flathead Beacon published its annual Drinks Edition, where instead of a single in depth feature article, the staff brought together a package of thematically linked stories about various things that can be consumed via straw, glass or mug. Certainly the most striking piece was the subject of the Beacon's cover image: a bloody mary cocktail topped with a virtual bouquet of fried food. Micah Drew brings Beacon staff writer Mike Kordenbrock and media director Hunter D'Antuono up to the podcast studio to tell the tale of two bloody marys from opposing sides of Flathead Lake, and how the story, and photos, came into being.

The weekend of July 22, three fatalities occurred in Glacier National Park. Two fatalities were 67-year-old Brian Kennedy and 67-year-old Jack Beard, who died in a climbing accident on Dusty Star Mountain. Both were long time climbers, adventurers and members of the Glacier Mountaineering Society. The third death was a hiker visiting from Florida.These tragedies, along with a fourth hiking death earlier this year, show the risks of being in the back country, whether hiking, climbing or skiing, for any level of adventurer. From natural disasters, random accidents or simple mistakes, a day in the backcountry can take unexpected turns very quickly.This week on the podcast, Micah Drew brings two stories of outings in Glacier National Park that went sideways, but ended with all parties home safely. These are the stories you always want to be able to tell if things go wrong — everyone's okay in the end and they're able to share their experiences and hopefully something can be learned from them. Both guests, Whitefish's Colton Born and Kalispell's Pete Heyboer were in Glacier Park the same weekend the three tragedies occurred.Read more about all of this week's stories and get the latest breaking news at flatheadbeacon.com and sign up for our new daily newsletter at flatheadbeacon.com/newsletter.RELATED LINKSAugust 3 E-EditionThe Last MountainLatest on the Elmo FireThe introductory music in this this episode is “Thinking Music” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License, The episode also features two songs from Montana singer/songwriter Mike Murray's album We Are Like Warriors, "The Good Ol' Days You're In" and "Moment of Time," used with permission.Read more about all of this week's stories and get the latest breaking news at flatheadbeacon.com and sign up for our new daily newsletter at flatheadbeacon.com/newsletter.

"It has been in our hearts since we started that something would come to fruition in the Flathead, so it seems wild that everything fell together the way it did." ~Jeremiah JohnsonTwo and a half years ago, the Flathead Valley's oldest craft beer establishment in downtown Whitefish closed its doors, The only thing brewing inside the iconic building since then has been rumors. Just this week however, the Blackstar Draught House reopened its doors in a new partnership with Jeremiah Johnson Brewing Co. to bring the taproom and restaurant back to life.

It's the first week of June which means summer is fast approaching, and to steal a phrase from Flathead Beacon managing editor Tristan Scott, :The best sign in the Zodiac is alighting on the horizon… Internicus."This summer, the Beacon's editorial team will be welcoming Twinterns, with both a print and a photojournalist set to join us in the newsroom. Thursday was day one for our photojournalist intern, Sarah Mosquera, and she spent it up the North Fork with Tristan shooting a Bear Aware workshop, followed by photo editing boot camp with media director Hunter D'antuono before being whisked up to the podcast studio to talk about the journey she took to discovering her passion for photography and storytelling.Links to Sarah's work are linked below!

In 2020, legislation to return an 18,524-acre parcel of land in the middle of the Flathead Indian Reservation to the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) was signed into law. Just over a year later, the Bison Range, along with the herd of 455 buffalo, returned to tribal management after 112 years. The tribes held a three day celebration to commemorate the restoration of the land and animals to their people. Host Micah Drew spent two days at the celebrations listening to speeches, songs and prayers offered up for the occasions, and in this episode of the podcast he shares some of what he heard.

The old Flathead County Courthouse is the most iconic building in Kalispell, if for no other reason than everyone passing through the center of town has to drive in a circle around it. The courthouse building was constructed in 1905, and originally was built with an odd feature: the prominent clocktower never held a clock, just four blank holes, until 2015. On the third floor of the courthouse lie the commissioners chambers and offices. Three commissioners, Pam Holmquist, Randy Brodehl and Brad Abell make up the elected government of the county, each serving staggered six-year terms.This year, Pam Holmquist's second term is up, and while she running for re-election, three republican challengers are facing off against her in the primary. With no filed Democratic opponent, the June 7 primary winner will take a seat on the commission. Host Micah Drew spent last week interviewing each candidate on their backgrounds and motivations for running, and he invited Flathead Beacon editor in chief Kellyn Brown to join me on the podcast to talk about the race.Later in the show, Micah runs through some other news of the week.Read more about all of this week's stories and get the latest breaking news at flatheadbeacon.com and sign up for our new daily newsletter at flatheadbeacon.com/newsletter.RELATED LINKSMay 11 E-EditionCounty at a CrossroadsCounty Courthouse to Install Clocks in TowerDave Roemer Selected as Superintendent of Glacier National ParkWhitefish Adopts Ordinance Requiring Bear-resistant Garbage CansThe music in this this episode is “Thinking Music” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License, The episode also features two songs from Montana singer/songwriter Mike Murray's album We Are Like Warriors, "The Good Ol' Days You're In" and "Moment of Time," used with permission.Read more about all of this week's stories and get the latest breaking news at flatheadbeacon.com and sign up for our new daily newsletter at flatheadbeacon.com/newsletter.

It's an even numbered year this year, which means the election season in the fall will feature 435 races for the U.S. House of Representatives. Unique this year is that our state will play host to two different Congressional races, as Montana gained a U.S. House seat following the 2020 census. The new open seat has launched crowded primaries as both major parties seek the best candidate to send to the general election. Flathead Beacon managing editor Tristan Scott attended both the Republican primary debate and Democratic candidate forum last week and broke them down in this week's edition of the paper. He joined host Micah Drew on the podcast to give his hot takes on all those running and some inter-party divisions.Later in the show, Micah runs through some other news of the week.Read more about all of this week's stories and get the latest breaking news at flatheadbeacon.com and sign up for our new daily newsletter at flatheadbeacon.com/newsletter.RELATED LINKSApril 28 E-EditionCongressional GOP Candidates Take Aim at ZinkeDemocratic Congressional Hopefuls Converge on KalispellVoters To Choose From Among 6 Candidates for Columbia Falls School BoardFactions Emerge in Whitefish School Board RaceTwo Incumbents, Four Newcomers Vie for Kalispell School Board PositionsThe music in this this episode is “Thinking Music” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License, The episode also features two songs from Montana singer/songwriter Mike Murray's album We Are Like Warriors, "The Good Ol' Days You're In" and "Moment of Time," used with permission.Read more about all of this week's stories and get the latest breaking news at flatheadbeacon.com and sign up for our new daily newsletter at flatheadbeacon.com/newsletter.

Listening note: There were some technical difficulties near the middle of the show, so forgive the clipped audio transition. "I realized really quickly that a mountain lion, the issues and the fear about them was a surrogate for human coexistence. That's where it was at. The science is fun and you get to be in discovery mode, but to move the needle on acceptance and coexistence... that's all about relationships." ~ JimWilliams, biologist/wildlife manager/regional supervisor with Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks.After spending 25 years ascending the ranks with Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, biologist Jim Williams retired as the Region 1 Supervisor, overlooking all aspects of the department in Northwest Montana. Jim's career has always been based around wildlife, working as a marine mammal trainer, an alligator wrestler and shark tamer, mountain lion researcher... you name it! Flathead Beacon managing editor Tristan Scott profiled Jim for his cover story "The Spaces Between" in this week' Flathead Beacon and Jim joined host Micah Drew to talk about the breadth and length of his career, and what he's doing next, which certainly is not slowing down and truly retiring.Later in the show, Micah runs through some other news of the week.Read more about all of this week's stories and get the latest breaking news at flatheadbeacon.com and sign up for our new daily newsletter at flatheadbeacon.com/newsletter.RELATED LINKSApril 13 E-EditionThe Spaces Between$1.5 Million Kalispell High School Levy Heads to VotersBoston or BustGoing-to-the-Sun Road Construction Slated to Begin in JuneBigfork High School Moves to Class AThe music in this this episode is “Thinking Music” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License, The episode also features two songs from Montana singer/songwriter Mike Murray's album We Are Like Warriors, "The Good Ol' Days You're In" and "Moment of Time," used with permission.Read more about all of this week's stories and get the latest breaking news at flatheadbeacon.com and sign up for our new daily newsletter at flatheadbeacon.com/newsletter.

Three times a year, reporter and podcast host Micah Drew teams up with media director and photographer Hunter D'Antuono to produce the Best of Preps issue of the Beacon. The issue identifies some of the top athlete's from across the Flathead Valley and combines short vignettes about their accolades with "sportraiture" — artsy, creative studio photos imagined and executed by Hunter. For the winter Preps issue, Hunter ordered several glass prisms to try and see how he could bend light and capture each athlete in a different, ethereal way. Hunter joined the podcast to talk about his creative process.

Ted Kacynski, known as the Unabomber, brought a lot of attention to the small town of Lincoln Montana during his high profile arrest in 1996 following a spree of bombings. Several documentaries, TV movies and shows have been inspired by Kazynski, but the latest film, 'Ted K', which had its North American premiere in Missoula in February, takes a different lens to the main character. Tony Stone wrote, directed and produced Ted K, and earlier this week host Micah Drew spoke with him about his work in the film industry, what it was like bringing the story to life and how important Montana, and the town of Lincoln, was to the process.Later in the show, Micah runs through the latest news of the week.Read more about all of this week's stories and get the latest breaking news at flatheadbeacon.com and sign up for our new daily newsletter at flatheadbeacon.com/newsletter.RELATED LINKSMarch 16 E-Edition‘Ted K' Brings Unabomber Back to LincolnFirst Units Completed at New High-end ApartmentsBlacktail Mountain Joins ‘Powder Alliance' Pass ProgramCanada to Drop COVID Tests for Vaccinated VisitorsThe music in this this episode is “Thinking Music” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License, The episode also features two songs from Montana singer/songwriter Mike Murray's album We Are Like Warriors, "The Good Ol' Days You're In" and "Moment of Time," used with permission.Read more about all of this week's stories and get the latest breaking news at flatheadbeacon.com and sign up for our new daily newsletter at flatheadbeacon.com/newsletter.

Flathead Beacon Managing Editor Tristan Scott was in Missoula last week reporting on the sentencing of Matt Marshall, the CEO of Whitefish securities firm Amyntor Group, who conned venture capitalist Michael Goguen out of millions of dollars. Marshall pretended to be a former CIA agent engaged in covert missions around the world in order to convince Goguen to fund secret operations, but in reality ended up pocketing the money. On March 3, Marshall was sentenced to six years in prison and ordered to pay $3.2 million dollars in restitution. Marshall was charged with wire fraud, money laundering and tax evasion for a scheme that began back in 2013. Tristan has been covering the Matt Marshall case for years, and joins the podcast to break down the story into audibly digestible nuggets for your consumption.Later in the show, Micah runs through the latest news of the week.Read more about all of this week's stories and get the latest breaking news at flatheadbeacon.com and sign up for our new daily newsletter at flatheadbeacon.com/newsletter.RELATED LINKSMarch 9 E-EditionScheme to Defraud Goguen Nets Whitefish Man 6 Years in Federal PrisonLogan Health Notifies Patients of Data Breach That Affected Thousands of MontanansKalispell Man Sentenced to 100 Years in Prison for Killing his WifeLack of Staffing Could Force Closure of County Extension Office, Pause 4-H ProgramsMHSA State Basketball BracketsThe music in this this episode is “Thinking Music” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License, The episode also features two songs from local singer/songwriter Mike Murray's album We Are Like Warriors, "The Good Ol' Days You're In" and "Moment of Time," used with permission.Read more about all of this week's stories and get the latest breaking news at flatheadbeacon.com and sign up for our new daily newsletter at flatheadbeacon.com/newsletter.

He's been in the Beacon office all week scribbling on printed pages, working with designers and overall haranguing staffers over their work.

"There's so many things in our society that have gotten homogenized. We eat the same French Fries, we drink the same Starbucks coffee exactly the same. We're even starting to talk the same as you go to different parts of the country but housing is totally unique. The prices are different, the taxes are different, the style and availability are different and people don't realize that until you start researching it." ~ Pat BarkeyFor years, residents of the Flathead Valley have seen rising housing and rental prices as the area becomes more popular, a trend that was only exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and work-from-home movement, which saw record growth in the area.Pat Barkey, the director of the Bureau of Business and Economic Research at the University of Montana has been involved with economic forecasting and policy research for more than 30 years, and recently gave an economic outlook seminar in Kalispell that focused on the rippling effects of high housing costs.

The intersection of Big Mountain Road and East Lakeshore drive north of Whitefish has long been a staple in conversations about the city's future. The intersection takes locals and visitors too and from Whitefish mountain Resort, and during ski season, the single blinking light often backs up traffic for hours.Discussions over the intersection itself, as well as the surrounding land, have been at the heart of a months-long debate in the community over a large proposed development called the Gateway Mountain Development, that would set the stage for the construction hundreds of residential units as well as commercial properties.

For months, the ImagineIF Library board of trustees have been stirring up emotional responses from library staff and the public with a series of controversial votes that have lowered staff salaries, hired an unqualified new director and discussed changing library policies to facilitate the removal of a queer-themed book.

Rom-coms. We all know them, some of us love them. Today, I talk about my personal favorite romantic comedy movies and discuss why they're great, what they mean to me, and even share some embarrassing anecdotes (and a rap) which may give some insight into why I am the way I am. Sit back and enjoy as we laugh together, cry together, and commiserate over all the movies that have touched hearts and souls.

Christopher Hensley Activity | Auto-sharing: ON Today we discussed the merits of waking up early with Andy Traub author of The Early To Rise Experience- Learn To Rise Early in 30 Days I hate getting up early I love being up early. If you're willing to take one minute a day to change your life then you can become an early riser.

I found that time in the morning and it has changed my life forever.    You can find out more visit :   www.earlytorisebook.com Or to view his book click below:   The Early to Rise Experience - Learn To Rise Early In 30 Days       You can listen live by going to www.kpft.org and clicking on the HD3 tab.
