Ty's Take
Slow week up the valley, which around here usually means folks are out working instead of making headlines. But there's some good stuff moving anyway: the high school's recognizing solid students, the library's figured out how to let people look at the stars without driving to Bozeman, and there's grant money sitting around for anyone serious about tackling the noxious weed problem that never stops eating up good pasture. Down in Livingston things got heated over an immigration documentary, which is their fight, but meanwhile here we've got our own work to do, the kind that doesn't make the papers until somebody does it right.
