Saddle Hills subdivision deniedBy Michael Howell An application to create the Saddle Hills Subdivision east of Florence was denied Monday on a 3 to 2 vote by the County Commissioners. The proposal would have created 20 lots on about 118 acres east of Florence in the Eight Mile area off of Upper Woodchuck Road.

Late oath by City Attorney won't invalidate prosecutionsBy Michael Howell Ravalli County District Court Judge Jeffrey Langton ruled last week in a case under appeal from Hamilton City Court that the failure of City Attorney Ken Bell to take an oath of office would not invalidate his prosecution of Hamilton resident Michael Lee Sokol. Public defender Reed Mandelko, attorney for Sokol, had argued that because Bell was not sworn into office his prosecution of Sokol for disorderly conduct was invalid.

Jill Hughes in Astavakrasana Thirteen ("Thirteen" because there are thirteen versions of this pose). It means the pose of eight crooks. This pose involves eight bends in the body - neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, waist - all bent at the same time. The pose tells a story about a son and a father, a curse and a straightening. Gretchen Langton photo.
