Nighttime story turns into children's book
When Missoula author Randy Rupert grew tired of reading the same books to his 3-year-old son Brady every night, he decided to make up one of his own.
At the time, the toddler had a penchant for wandering off, so Rupert devised a story about three dogs who get lost and have to find their way home. Every other night, Brady would ask for "the dog story" instead of his usual books. |

Wolf hunting season draws to close
Montana's wolf-hunting season closes Wednesday after hunters were able to kill 16 wolves out of the 220-wolf quota.
Montana's Fish, Wildlife and Parks commission may extend the season in the Bitterroot Valley near the Idaho border, where elk populations have dwindled. But for most of Montana the season ends after sunset Wednesday. The 163 wolves killed through Tuesday equals almost 75 percent of the statewide quota. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Commission chairman Bob Ream says next year's season could be adjusted to loosen hunting restrictions in some areas. |
