Mark N. TrahantShoshone-BannockThere is an important story that’s easy to miss: Hudson’s Bay Company, the Canadian department store chain, filed for bankruptcy protection last week in Ontario. The company says it’s facing a severe liquidity crisis and is unable to pay vendors and cannot pay its roughly 9,340 employees. The company is now selling off its remaining stock. “It is hard not to have a sense of melancholy when considering the Application before me,” Ontario Judge Peter Osborne wrote.

Mark TrahantSpecial to ICTThe Navajo Times building was hardly more than a shack in 1983. The floors had buckled (probably years before) and reporters had to be careful where they stepped or they might end up in a hole.
