Saturday, 7 February, 2026
This week on News Now, reporter Taylor Inman breaks down six of the Flathead Valley’s biggest and most talked-about stories — from federal policy changes at Glacier National Park to heated local land-use decisions and community highlights.We begin with Glacier National Park removing interpretive displays following a federal directive, raising questions about how public lands tell history and whose voices are represented. From there, we dive into a controversial decision approving a Lakeside marina dock extension, despite widespread public opposition, and examine why county officials moved forward anyway.The episode also covers a Montana Supreme Court ruling that clears the way for the Happy’s Inn RV park, along with a proposed lease at Polson Bay Golf Course that could reshape public access and future development. We then shift gears to community news, including the Whitefish Winter Carnival parade, featuring a surprise appearance by a NASA astronaut, before closing with standout performances at the Class AA State Speech and Debate Tournament.Read these full stories on dailyinterlake.com:Glacier National Park podcast, displays axed under Trump directive | Hungry Horse News Word for word: Flathead wins second, Glacier third at state speech championship | Daily Inter Lake Flathead County OKs resort's 159-foot marina dock in Lakeside | Daily Inter Lake State Supreme Court rules in favor of county, developer | Western News A big thank you to our headline sponsor for the News Now podcast, Loren's Auto Repair!
