Speakers shared stories of how Charlie had influenced their lives, with some recalling personal encounters. After each speech, attendees observed a moment of silence.

  • Man Found Dead After Vehicle Discovered In Water Near Wisdom (updated)

    WISDOM, Mont. (Sept. 21, 2025)  – A 44-year-old Wisdom man was found deceased Sunday morning after authorities located his vehicle overturned in the water along Lower North Fork Road outside of Wisdom, according to the Beaverhead County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies responded around 10:37 a.m. after receiving a report of a vehicle upside down in the water with only its tires visible. When a deputy arrived on scene, it appeared the driver’s side door had been forced open, suggesting someone may have attempted to escape. The search initially focused on locating the vehicle’s registered owner at his home and workplace, but when he was not found, attention returned to the submerged vehicle. Sheriff Wendt entered the water with chest waders, secured by a rope, and was able to pry open the passenger door. Inside, he discovered the body of the missing man. Investigators determined the man had been seen the previous night and had likely been in the vehicle overnight. His identity has not yet been released, pending notification of out-of-state family members. Update 09/22 5:20 pm driver of the vehicle has been identified as 44 year old Trevor Lee Nelson of Wisdom MT. The Montana Highway Patrol is leading the crash investigation.

    The Montana Youth Challenge Academy, in partnership with the Montana National Guard 1-189th (General Support Aviation Battalion) and the University of Montana Western, will be hosting an educator airlift event on Wednesday, October 8, 2025. This event provides Montana high school administrators, counselors, and staff an opportunity to interact with current cadets and learn more about the Challenge Model of youth development and UMW’s Experience One program. Attendees will be flying in from locations across the state including the cities of: Kalispell, Missoula, Great Falls, Helena, Billings, and Bozeman. The purpose of this event is to create statewide partnerships so that MYCA can better support Montana’s youth. As part of the day’s activities, military helicopters are scheduled to land around noon on the south end of campus in the tailgating/parking area. This will be an exciting opportunity to see aircraft land on campus, but it also requires some important safety measures: The south tailgating/parking lot and the adjacent parking lot near the BARC will be closed during the event. These areas must remain clear to provide safe landing space and to account for rotor wash from the helicopters as they land and take off throughout the afternoon. To ensure public safety, it is critical that all observers stay clear of these areas on October 8.  We appreciate your cooperation in keeping these spaces clear and safe for this special event. For more information, please contact the Montana Youth Challenge Academy at 406-960-4424. The Great Squatch Hunt starts 10/01 click for details
