MISSOULA â As the justice system in Missoula develops new ideas around incarceration, the county detention center and tribal defenders on the Flathead Reservation hope to maintain an agreement intended to help Native American inmates land on their feet upon reentry into the community.
To do so, the Flathead Reservation Reentry Program is seeking another round of funding from the federal Second Chance Act to continue its partnership with area jails, one that dates back to 2015.

In the center of Orange is a stone drinking fountain with a history all its own. The fountain was erected by the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union in town. “The WCTU fountain has been a fixture in the center of Orange since 1904, although not always in the same location,” said Janice Lanou, member of the Orange Walking Tour Brochure Committee. “If you look at old postcards of downtown Orange, your eye eventually goes to the fountain, dwarfed by the Lamb’s block at the corner of West Main Street and South Main Street. Time proved it to be an unsuitable location as the fountain was damaged several times by large trucks turning the sharp corner in front of it. In its present home, diagonally across the Square, it is safe from traffic and is more visible to the public.”
