- Craig kids star in Saturday performances of ‘The Pied Piper’
- January 26, 2013
- The Moffat County High School auditorium was overrun with adorable rats Saturday afternoon. Craig children in kindergarten through sixth grade starred in the Missoula Children’s Theatre two Saturday performances of “The Pied Piper,” a tale of a town in serious need of laughter and happiness. Taught to laugh only after the Pied Piper leads the rats and then their children away, the Hamelin townspeople learn the importance of living a happy existence and even invite the rats back to town. The youngest actors played the parts of the rats, but they were far from big and scary. With stage makeup, costumes and one short week of preparation, children took the stage having memorized all their lines and gave a professional performance to the large audience.

- Gilt and innocence: Farrowing on a Moffat County hog farm
- January 26, 2013

Regardless of the type of operation hogs have never been widely regarded for their sanitary existence by the general population. Though breeders in the industry are quick to dispel the myth that hogs are filthy, and tout the animal as being the smartest found on the farm, hog barns are notoriously foul smelling places, and are famous for dropping ill prepared visitors to their ever-loving knees.

- January 26, 2013
- Our View: With suicide rates in Colorado and especially on the Western Slope much higher than the national average, the editorial board finds the lack of a local support system for those who need help dealing with suicide troubling.

Most of the soup recipes I have require lots of chopping of vegetables and cooking meats, and sometimes I just don’t have a lot of cooking time. So it’s great to have some quick soup recipes on hand.
