Good morning, southwest Montana.
Earlier this year, Montana State football scored a historic NCAA FCS national championship win for the first time since ‘84. On Wednesday, the team made an exciting trip to the White House — organized by Republican U.S. Senator Steve Daines — to celebrate their achievement.
“I know the president loves winners,” says Daines. “These guys are winners.”
So, what did the Bobcats have on the agenda during their tour of the capital? Dive into our Dan Astin’s newest story to find out.
Local chef and owner of Whistle Pig Korean, Emma Eunbee Woods, is a Food Network regular, having appeared in cooking shows since 2018. Most recently, she got an exciting chance to compete alongside one of her celebrity chef idols during her appearance on “Beat Bobby Flay.”
There’s much more behind Woods’ artistry than her television appearances, though — her love of cooking began in childhood, when she was growing up as an adoptee on Cape Cod. Run the window with our Emma Jane Jackson to discover Woods’ story and, to see what led her to become the accomplished chef she is today.
Emma is also bringing you our third story of the day: While Indigenous people make up just 6.4% of Montana’s population, they accounted for 31% of the state’s missing persons last year. The Montana Department of Justice has launched a new statewide PSA campaign to raise awareness of the missing Indigenous persons crisis, hoping that renewed public awareness can help bring loved ones home to their families.
The campaign highlights four people who are currently missing — James Limberhand, Ashley Loring Heavyrunner, Shacaiah Blue Harding and Leo Wagner — and urges Montanans to come forward with tips. Read Emma’s latest coverage to learn more about this effort, and why officials say even a single lead could make a difference.
