Bozeman’s deer population is exploding — and it’s causing serious problems. With no natural predators and abundant food in yards, the herd is growing fast, forcing cities to step in since state agencies can’t handle urban wildlife management. Plus, a new case of deadly Chronic Wasting Disease has been found locally, making coordinated community action critical. Residents can help by pushing for urban deer plans, securing attractants like bird feeders and trash, and being mindful of bears too — because even those are drawn to easy meals and need our help staying wild and safe.

Feeding Laramie Valley, a 17-year-old nonprofit tackling food insecurity with bold innovation, is on the brink after federal funding cuts since 2025 wiped out over $600K in grants — forcing layoffs and shuttering key programs like their mobile market and composting initiative. Founder Gayle Woodsum, hailed as a “force of nature,” refuses to back down, clinging to her vision of empowering communities through fresh food and sustainable solutions — even as her annual budget shrinks from $2M to a fraction. Though the organization’s core mission endures, with weekly food shares still going out thanks to community support, Woodsum’s rallying cry is clear: don’t let resilience fade — build on what’s been achieved so we’re ready for whatever comes next.

Josh Weil’s new novel, “What Came West,” reveals how characters can seize control of the writing process—like a whisper from the unconscious that demands to be heard. Drawing on literary giants like Faulkner and Bradbury, Weil explores the timeless idea that once you truly know your character, they write themselves. He dives into mythic wellsprings—from Tolkien’s subcreation to Blake’s visions—to show how artists have long felt like conduits for something beyond themselves. Weil shares his own experience with Silas, a character whose voice became so vivid it pulled him into a “dreamspace” of unconscious writing. Though he admits it sounds mystical, this deep connection is essential: when a character speaks clearly, the story flows effortlessly—and joyfully. It’s not about forcing plot; it’s about listening, letting the characters lead, and discovering stories that were always waiting to be found.

A massive luxury development called Territory 1889 is poised to break ground on Flathead Lake, with 359 homes, two golf courses, and a marina planned across 1,700 acres. The state’s DEQ has approved the first 79 lots, citing compliant water systems — but critics are sounding alarms. The developer, behind Yellowstone Club and Crazy Mountain Ranch, faces skepticism over past environmental mishaps, including wastewater spills and water rights battles. Residents fear the cumulative impact on Flathead Lake — dubbed “the jewel in the crown” — while DEQ admits it can’t review the company’s history due to legal limits. Discovery Land Company insists environmental standards are top priority, with Phase 2 expected by 2027 after another public review.

Eastern Montana’s legal crisis is leaving families and communities stranded—courts are backed up, people are self-representing, and low-income residents can’t access justice. With lawyers scarce and rural areas unattractive to new recruits, the burden falls on overstretched attorneys. Solutions like South Dakota’s lawyer incentive program, paralegal training, and student internships are being considered, but nothing’s been implemented yet. The Montana State Bar is urgently searching for answers to fix this growing gap in access to justice.
