MISSOULA â A warm and tropical house thatâs home to free-flying butterflies and flowering plants at the Missoula County Fairgrounds is set to break ground this month, but efforts to close out the capital campaign continue.
Along with the Healthy Acres Healthy Communities Foundation, the Missoula Butterfly House & Insectarium has raised $3 million, moving the project closer to its $5 million goal.

Teenager Mikaela Haynes. She committed suicide rather than return to the care of her father, a convicted rapist.
Mikaela Haynes was fourteen years old when she took her own life after being repeatedly forced to spend time with a convicted child rapist, her father Charles Haynes. Haynes is currently in prison in Missouri serving a sentence for raping Mikaela’s half-sister, Melissa, when she was a young teen.
The nightmare for this family began when Melissa gave her mother a note disclosing that her stepfather, Cynthia Randolph’s husband Charles Haynes, had been abusing her for years. Randolph left with her three children, reported the abuse to the police, and filed for divorce. Haynes was arrested, charged, and pleaded guilty to sodomizing Melissa.

MISSOULA â With the construction of the Rocky Mountain Exploration Center poised to begin in the coming months, Missoula County last week approved an agreement with Elkhorn Commissioning Group to aid in the process.
With the $63,600 contract now in place, Elkhorn will streamline the construction process.
âThey basically play a role between the construction people and the sources, particularly for the technical equipment and how weâre putting that together in our new facility,â said Jerry Marks, who helped spearhead the project with the Missoula County Extension and Weed District.
