Here's your local news at a glance for Saturday, the 7th of March.
Good morning, Butte.
🏘️ Community
AOH will offer free carousel rides and host its annual St. Patrick's dinner on March 16 at a local venue, inviting residents to join in the community celebration ahead of St. Patrick's Day.
Butte resident Don Heffington, 85, has been volunteering to document Montana wolverines since 2017 after his game cameras captured two in the Jerry Creek drainage.
His ongoing work brings a rare look at our local wildlife to the community.
🎓 Education
East Middle School students learned about hurling (a 3,000-year-old Irish sport) and practiced Irish language phrases today, as Montana Grizzlies Hurling Club and a University of Montana expert led the session.
An exhibition game is set for 2 p.m. in Butte on St. Patrick’s Day.
🏥 Health
Montana slipped to No.31 in the America's Health Rankings 2025 Report as increased alcohol use and e-cigarette consumption emerged, though lower obesity rates and strong graduation figures offered some positives; 24% of residents skipped care due to costs (compared to a No.13 ranking in 1990).
🏈 Sports
After a life-threatening football injury last fall, Butte High senior Preston Jensen needed emergency surgery for his ruptured spleen & later embraced track after coach Arie Grey suggested a new challenge.
He now trains hard as he prepares for the upcoming season.
