Missoula, MT (KGVO-AM News) - At approximately 8:30 a.m. on November 16, 2024, a Missoula Police Department Officer was dispatched to a report of trespassing/possible burglary at the Fair Bridge Inn
The details of the call said there was a male who broke into a room
another officer had already detained the suspect
on Old Hwy 93 just north of the incident address
The officer went back to the hotel to speak with staff and complete the investigation.
The officer spoke to a hotel employee who said Moreni went into the breakfast area
After Moreni left the breakfast area to go back out through the front doors
the employee watched him walk around the corner
she called 911 because Moreni wasn’t supposed to be inside that room
Then the employee watched Moreni crawl back out of the window and start walking east toward the casino in the same parking lot.
Officers cleared the room to make sure no one else was inside
as the “slapper style” door lock had been latched
so the door couldn’t be opened from inside the hotel
the officer noticed multiple smudge marks on the window consistent with someone pushing it open from the outside
The heater was also turned up quite high and the room was very warm
An employee told the officer that the heater should be turned off or down very low
as there is no one in the rooms at night when the construction crews aren’t working on them
It was apparent to the officer that someone had turned up the heater while illegally occupying the room.

the officer was able to watch video footage and took multiple still shots of both Moreni stealing and eating the muffin while trespassing
as well as him coming out of and going to and from the window for room 111.
construction staff and an employee said that the room smelled like cigarette smoke and would therefore need to be re-painted to cover up the odor before it could be rented out
as it had been freshly painted as part of the renovation.
Moreni was placed under arrest and was transported to the Missoula County Detention Center
He is currently being charged with felony burglary and obstructing a peace officer

Imagine reaching a place where time seems to stand still
a peaceful corner nestled among the natural grandeur of the Dolomites
a short distance from the village of Fiè allo Sciliar
began like this: with the liberating feeling of leaving behind the daily hustle and bustle to immerse myself in an oasis of silence far from commitments and predetermined agendas
The story of this enchanting reality is that of the Mair family and began in 1967
when grandfather Toni started a simple Jausenstation
many things have happened and that little landmark for the valley has turned first into a restaurant and then into a hotel
who grew up among Gfell's meadows-highest meadows
he was able to transform that little Jausenstation into the Schönblick restaurant
But their vision and resourcefulness have gone further
not least because of the entry into the business of their son Julian
the one who has taken the reins of management
He is the one who tells me about the journey of these years
the choices and important decisions made in order to move forward
To be able to “survive” and make a real breakthrough
A leap that sees November 2019 as a significant date
the moment when an ambitious project was undertaken
to create a hotel structure embracing the restaurant and the old family barn
the dream became a reality: the Hotel Gfell opened its doors
No longer just a stopping point for hikers
but a place where nature and good food come together in an experience that harmonizes with its surroundings without barriers
In a continuum between inside and outside that fills the eyes
And that barn built more than 50 years ago by Grandpa Toni
houses the cozy room where the delicious breakfast with a view is served in the morning (the advice is to enjoy every taste of homemade bread
“what do people look for and find when they come here?”
Julian's answer is succinctly stark: “peace
I realized as soon as I got out of the car
One breathes there an immense respect for the environment
a complete fusion that is well expressed by the very structure of the hotel
built and developed right into the heart of the mountain
but with striking openings that overlook it following its course
One is enchanted to observe the different evolutions of sunlight from sunrise to sunset
One admires them motionless and enraptured by those much more than large windows
transparent walls that embrace the panorama
but so is the discreet and refined wellness area
motionless and spellbound gazing at the mountains while sipping hot tea immediately after the sauna
"Nature is a constant source of inspiration for us
Because the truth is that sometimes it feels like we have never really seen how much nature has to communicate
the rush by which we are overwhelmed is not a good conductor of information
we do what we like but the quality of raw materials is the basis on which every preparation rests”
summarizes the culinary proposal of the Schönblick restaurant in this way
‘love goes through the stomach,’ and we want to bring our love for South Tyrol to the table
which is why for the most part we use local ingredients
which we buy from selected suppliers or in many cases produce ourselves
This is crucial because if the product is good
and the selection of the best meat comes through him
Then of course we also have some elements that come out of the territory
because we get inspired by other culinary traditions and cultures."
The result is a menu that speaks the language of typicality in some dishes
such as pressed dumplings on sauerkraut salad; schnitzel with thick
served in its different cuts and with different preparations so as to “use all parts of the animal and show that there is more than just filet.” The influences and incursions of ideas and experiences can be perceived precisely by dwelling on the techniques with which the dishes are made
but no exaggeration; the focus is on substance and concreteness
you come here for that and for the atmosphere
satisfaction is not lacking and indeed abounds
the end of the meal that just has to be there because it would be a pity to give up the krapfen
on vanilla sauce; the buchteln served warm and with that mouth-watering apricot filling; the homemade ice cream made directly by Julian who has now become a true expert
And since the third ingredient sought by patrons told us to be “lots of wine,” here Julian has found a way to give them satisfaction and ample choice
building a wine list with as many as 230 labels
He has been passionate about wine over time
The cellar is his pride and he loves to advise and knows how to advise
He does it with great satisfaction and that freshness of one who enjoys and makes one feel at home

DILLON — Memorial Day is a time to remember those who lost their lives in combat and the students at Dillon Middle School decided to honor every Montanan who made the ultimate sacrifice by planting one flag for them in the ground
Each one of them fellows died for this country and that’s all that can be said,” said veteran and Dillon resident George Davidson
History teacher Mark Moreni got some of his students to help him plant 2,921 flags in front of the school – one flag for every Montanan who died in combat since the first World War
The project was very personal to some of the eighth-grade students who worked on it
My grandparents and both of my uncles have been in the military and I knew what they were doing as I was growing up
so it means a lot to me,” said 8th grade student Madison Sampson
Students spent two days planting the flags in neat rows and some thought about the deeper meaning of what they were doing
how everybody has given up their lives for me and all my friends and for everybody,” said student Brynna Gibson
The State VFW office in Helena provided Moreni with the number of combat deaths of Montana troops over more than a century of wars
A number that’s surprisingly high for a state with such a low population
“It’s interesting because Montana per capita has more people serve than any other state,” said Moreni
He took on this project to give his students and the community a visually powerful representation of Montana’s sacrifice
“So often we take things for granted in this country and the reason we're able to have the things we have and even act the way that we act is because somebody has paid the ultimate sacrifice,” said Moreni
“I love it when the wind takes them all in one direction and you can kind of see where everything is and see how many people died for us.”
The flags will remain up through Memorial Day and the public is encouraged to come out and see the display

We are proud to announce that two of our talented PhD candidates
are among the three nominees for the prestigious Hugo van Poelgeest Prize
The Hugo van Poelgeest Prize recognizes outstanding animal-free research in the life sciences
the award focuses on encouraging the next generation of scientists to advance research using animal-free models
there are still no effective models for developing medications for brain disorders
A major obstacle is the blood-brain barrier
which shields the brain from harmful substances but also blocks many medications
Henrique Nogueira Pinto aims to recreate a human blood-brain barrier in the lab
this model will enhance research on ways to bypass the blood-brain barrier and accurately test how drugs affect the brain
Giulia Moreni, winner of the 2023 Proefdiervrij Venture Challenge
is working on replacing animal testing in virus research
After reviewing literature on animal use in virology
she identified numerous areas where animal-free alternatives can be used
By developing human stem cell-based models
Giulia’s work paves the way for animal-free research on viral infections
laying the groundwork for personalized treatments for patients suffering from chronic viral infections caused by rare genetic disorders
A professional jury will select the winner of the €5000 Hugo van Poelgeest Prize. Additionally, Proefdiervrij is awarding a public prize of €1500.

Henk Schallig and his team have secured a €5 million from the EDCTP3 EU Partnership to launch the Safety of Antimalarials in the FIrst tRimEster (SAFIRE) project in Kisumu
SAFIRE marks the first-ever Phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of antimalarials in women during the first trimester of pregnancy
Background: Malaria in pregnancy poses serious risks
there is limited data on antimalarial safety for pregnant women
The WHO recommends only one ACT—artemether-lumefantrine (AL)—for first-trimester treatment
but emerging drug resistance raises concerns
expanding the use of different ACTs is one potential solution
this approach may unintentionally expose first-trimester pregnant women to treatments other than AL
there is an urgent need to collect comprehensive data on the safety and efficacy of other ACTs during the first trimester
The SAFIRE consortium will address this need by conducting an adaptive platform trial combined with social research
This study aims to generate robust evidence on the safety
and tolerability of antimalarial treatments in early pregnancy
The results will inform policies and guidelines to ensure that women have access to the best possible treatments
the consortium includes partners from Mali
the Medicines for Malaria Initiative (Switzerland)
and Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (United Kingdom)
About the Grant: The Global Health EDCTP3 Joint Undertaking (GH EDCTP3 JU) builds on the success of the first and second European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership programs
This new initiative is a collaboration between the EU and the EDCTP Association
with members from several European and African countries
from the Medical Microbiology & Infection Prevention department at Amsterdam UMC
has been awarded the prestigious title of Officer in the Order of Orange-Nassau
This honor recognizes her exceptional contributions to the Amsterdam Cohort Studies (ACS)
with special praise for her commitment to the proper storage and preservation of cohort materials
the ACS is also celebrating a milestone: its 40th anniversary this year
making it one of the longest-running cohorts in the world
Margreet has been a key member of the ACS team since its launch
making this award a fitting tribute to her long-standing commitment
About the Amsterdam Cohort Studies (ACS): The ACS on HIV infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) started shortly after the first cases of AIDS were diagnosed in the Netherlands

She starts her day with a rejuvenating cappuccino
The doughs left to rise from the day before are waiting to be transformed into sweet and savory delights
and inviting aroma of freshly baked delights
nestled among the neighborhoods of Parma's city center
has created a world as personal as it is comforting
who goes by the stage name "La Briosciaia." Her passion for this place nourishes her tenacity
eventually brought the culinary world to her
self-taught growth experimenting with recipes
and leavening; studying extensively from books and taking a course with Chef Simone Sciolti
Latteria 61 was the opportunity she courageously seized and it changed her life
It's an historic space that preserves the signage of yesteryears
with furnishings and colors that evoke a past era of fascination
but Valentina manages to make the most of every square inch
eagerly sought after early in the morning by children
and loyal customers patiently waiting in line
"People often ask me how I manage to do all this and not feel tired," Valentina says
"The answer is that I couldn't do it any other way
I won't deny that some days are tougher than others
but seeing the smiles on my customers' faces
Even more beautiful is hearing them say that what I prepare has the power to evoke childhood memories in them
Latteria saved me; it filled my life with joy and satisfaction
That's the number of types of brioche and sweet treats Valentina prepares in her lab
varying the flavors according to the seasons
This diversity translates into twenty different flavors and options available on the display and counter every day
And she is the sole creator: from the doughs left to rest from the previous afternoon to the hand-rolling
It all comes from Valentina's skill and elbow grease
The proof is in the distinctly artisanal nature of what comes out of the oven: the brioche are never all the same or perfectly symmetrical; the size and thickness vary
what sets them apart is the deliciousness of every bite
A 48-hour leavening process ensures excellent digestibility
the same goes for small pizzas and flatbreads
which have the potential to become addictive
French viennoiseries with pain au chocolat and croissants filled in original ways or fresh fruit
as seen in cheesecake and red fruit versions
Valentina has thought about something extra: making her creations suitable for those with intolerances and vegans
All of this without altering the original recipes and categorizing the selection as what she calls "The Colors of Health." "I decided to create something that could be suitable for everyone
offering pastries and brioche without eggs
but not least: Valentina bakes every morning without sparing effort
What she follows and pursues is authenticity
from choosing the raw materials to their preparation
"I know I could sell much more; the demand is there
but everything needs the right time to turn out well
This means that when a product is finished
I don't rush to the lab to try to restock it
perhaps at the expense of proper leavening

Britain's Bradley Wiggins was not sorry to leave the Tour de France
The Cofidis rider was forced from competing after Stage 16 when his teammate Cristian Moreni was arrested after testing non-negative to testosterone
but Wiggins wasn't too upset about leaving the race given the events of the past week
"I don't want to continue in the Tour de France anyway
it's not supposed to be like this," Wiggins
"It is completely gutting to have to quit the Tour but everyone knows where I stand on doping
Wiggins hit out at the "pure stupidity" of his Italian teammate's actions
The respected rider also admitted that such events at times makes him question his future in the sport
"It's pure stupidity on the part of Moreni," he said
"I don't know how he can have slipped through the net
It makes you think about your future as a professional cyclist
but then you think why not continue because I get a lot of pleasure out of it."
Just weeks after successfully hosting Tour stages for the first time
London's mayor Ken Livingstone offered his heartfelt support to Wiggins
"This is deeply disappointing for Bradley Wiggins
who has had a fantastic Tour de France," Livingstone told the BBC
he is well known for his vocal condemnation of drug use in his sport
and has been a tremendous ambassador for London and cycling."

Everyone is working in the printing house. We enter unnoticed.
They make the Moreni (Blackberry) brand of scarves here.
A wooden stand by the door displays scarf samples, assorted by subject matter.
Nareh Mousikyan, who studied economics, has been working as Moreni manager for the past month. She shows us the first scarf Moreni produced. It’s called Nrani and depicts a young Armenian woman.
Mousikyan tells us that all the scarves depict some aspect of Armenian culture and history.
The company was founded one year ago; the brainchild of Artyom Nahapetyan, Director of the printing house Interprint.
Nahapetyan says that he wanted to forge a new image for Armenian fashion.
“We founded Moreni to incorporate Armenian embellishments for Armenian fashion. We wanted to use Armenian ornamentation to make young Armenian women fashionable,” says Nahapetyan.
He shows us a scarf dedicated to the 150th anniversary of Komitas. It’s yellow and blue and adorned with musical notes taken from one of Komitas’s songs.
Nahapetyan says the company wants to expand its line of products in the near future, adding shirts and headbands to the list.
While there are others making similar items in Armenia, Mousikyan boasts that Moreni’s creations are unique and are trendsetting for their colors and images.
Moreni currently sells its products via Facebook and Instagram. The company is thinking about opening a retail location in Yerevan if business picks up.
Bradley Wiggins Tour de France is over after his Cofidis team pulled out of the race following the announcement of Cristian Moreni's positive dope test.
For the second night in a row the French police descended on a team hotel - this time the Novotel in Lescar on the outskirts of Pau. Last night they searched Astana's hotel after Alexandre Vinokourov's positive test for blood doping.
Italian rider Moreni failed a random dope test after the 11th stage of the race, which finished in Montpellier.
The team were informed after the start of the 16th stage from Orthez to the Col d'Aubisque and Moreni was arrested when he crossed the finish line at the end of the stage.
Wiggins knew nothing of Moreni's test until he finished, more than 41 minutes down on winner Michael Rasmussen.
"The first I heard was when I crossed the line," said the 27-year-old British rider. "I went straight to our soigneur and he whispered in my ear that Moreni was positive and that I should get to the bus quickly."
Once at the Cofidis bus, several Gendarmes were on the scene.
"It was pretty scary. They took control of the bus. We went to a police station and then we were put in police cars and taken back to our hotel," he added.
Wiggins travelled with team-mate Sylvain Chavanel, who is also his room-mate.
"The police were very polite and courteous and they just explained that they had to follow the proper procedure.
"When we got back to the hotel they took us to our rooms and we had to sign a piece of paper authorising them to search while we were there. They went through everything in the room and took my Boots vitamin tablets and my asthma inhaler, which I have a therapeutic use exemption (TUE) form for.
"They said they had to take it and check with the UCI that I am authorised to have it.
"They were very polite but it was pretty scary. It's reassuring that they have this procedure and they follow it strictly but it really shakes you up."
Wiggins said he'd started the day in a bad mood following Vinokourov's positive test. He had finished fifth behind the Kazakh in Saturday's time trial.
He added that the half-hearted strike on the start line had not improved his mood. "I was feeling pretty pissed off because of the Vinokourov thing. Then there was the protest. It was badly communicated and no one knew what they were doing or what was supposed to be going on.
"Some guys said 'We won't put our race numbers on' but others didn't want to get fined for it. Then they said they'd sit down in the road, then a few people started to roll out.
"It wasn't co-ordinated or unified, it was just a mess. I am not here to protest about the dopers. I am not here to point my finger and this person or that person. I am here to ride the Tour de France. I've always made my belief clear and if anyone wants to ask me about doping I will say what I think but I want to race and finish the Tour de France.
"We all grouped up a few kilometres down the road and there were a few angry people. Someone attacked and they said they'd let him go and not chase him but it was still all confusion.
"I thought quite early in the stage 'Sod this, I'm going home. This isn't why I ride a bike. The only thing that kept me going was that my wife Cath has booked tickets to come to Paris for the final weekend."
Now, though, Wiggins won't be in Paris. More than likely he'll be out of Pau on a flight on Thursday morning, although at 9pm he still had not heard from any of Cofidis' management.
"We got back to the hotel and there's no one [team management] here. I've been told we're out and I wouldn't be surprised. That would be the right decision. If this was another team that had had a positive test I'd be saying that the whole team should go.
"I am disappointed and angry that I am in the middle of this. [Francis] Van Londersele and [Eric] Boyer [the team managers] haven't contacted us yet. We were straight into the bus, straight into the police cars and away.
"I'd like to see Boyer so he can explain. He's got a lot to answer for after speaking on the telly about the T-Mobile team and the Astana squad.
"We were hair tested at the Dauphine and we had our own internal tests before the Tour started but one [Moreni] has slipped through the net.
"It's his [Boyer's] responsibility to ensure everyone he employs is clean because my image and reputation is at stake.
"I don't know for sure if we'll start or not but I would imagine we won't. This contradicts everything the Tour should be about. I'd love to ride on and go to Paris but not in these circumstances. The only way we're going to beat this thing is if there's zero-tolerance. Unfortunately that means we [Cofidis] have to take the brunt and he [Boyer] has to take responsibility.
"I am part of that team and that's unfortunate but that's the way it has to be. If it happened to someone else they'd have to be pulled."
