  • Northern lights may expand south tonight

    Updated Jan 9, 2014

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Northerners thawing out from a bitter freeze may get rewarded with shimmering northern lights the next couple days. Federal space weather forecaster Joe Kunches said the sun shot out a strong solar flare late Tuesday, which should arrive at Earth early today. It should shake up Earth's magnetic field and expand the Aurora Borealis south, possibly as far south as Colorado and central Illinois. He said best viewing would probably be this evening, weather permitting. The University of Alaska's Geophysical...

    Tim Leeds|Updated Jan 9, 2014

    National Weather Service is putting extra effort in today to help people recognize a common and serious problem in Montana - ice jams. Today is the eighth annual Ice Jam Awareness Day in Montana, which Weather Service created to help educate the state's residents about potential problems that can result from ice jams and associated ice jam flooding. Ice jams are created when rapid freezing - or breakup and collection of ice during melting - creates dams on rivers and streams....

  • Bullock stays mum on possible Senate appointment

    Updated Jan 9, 2014

    HELENA (AP) — If Gov. Steve Bullock is any closer to deciding who to appoint to the U.S. Senate if Max Baucus is confirmed as the next ambassador to China, he isn't saying. Bullock told reporters Thursday the possibility of Baucus vacating the seat is still hypothetical and he will not discuss his intentions until there is an opening. President Barack Obama formally nominated Baucus for the ambassadorship Tuesday, and the Montana Democrat must be confirmed by the Senate. Montana law gives the governor the power to appoint...

  • MSU-N matmen get to work at NAIA Duals

    George Ferguson|Updated Jan 9, 2014

    It’s finally back to work for the Montana State University-Northern wrestling team. But MSU-N’s return to the mat after 20-day layoff won’t be a walk in the park. Saturday and Sunday, the No. 2 Lights will be in Des Moines, Iowa, for the NAIA National Duals, where 16 of the best NAIA teams will go head-to-head in a double-elimination format. Northern hasn’t had the kind of success it would have liked at this event in recent years, but this weekend, the Lights bring...

    Tim Leeds|Updated Jan 9, 2014

    This morning began at the Hill County Clerk and Recorder's office with a slew of candidates filing as candidates for election or re-election, as today is the first day candidates can file for the 2014 election. The filings on the county level were heavy from the start. Some legislative candidates filed in Helena, though both major parties planned filing events later today, but little happened off the bat on the national level.

  • Frontier Notebook: Youth movement in the Frontier

    George Ferguson|Updated Jan 9, 2014

    The Frontier Conference may have officially began back in November, but things didn’t really come into full, serious mode until last weekend. Men’s and women’s basketball teams around the league kicked off the new year with some thrilling basketball, and when the dust settled on the first full weekend of league play, one thing was more clear than anything else. The next two months are going to be wild. On the women’s side, there are eight teams with winning overall...

  • Streaking Skylights home for two

    George Ferguson|Updated Jan 9, 2014

    It’s only January. It’s early in the Frontier Conference women’s basketball season, but home games don’t get much bigger for the Montana State University-Northern Skylights. Tonight, the No. 18 Skylights (3-0, 13-2) put their perfect conference mark on the line when they host the UM-Western Bulldogs at 6 inside the Armory Gymnasium. And if that game isn’t big enough, Northern welcomes in No. 4 Westminster, the five-time defending conference champion Saturday night....

  • Pony grapplers look to step up in Cut Bank

    Daniel Horton|Updated Jan 9, 2014

    If the Havre High wrestling team can continue to get healthy and plug some holes in the lineup, then the Central A Blue ponies should be able to return to their early season dominance. Last weekend in Bozeman, the Ponies found themselves finishing the weekend as the No. 8 team. But with some key injuries, including Jace Billy at 195 pounds, and some late scratches due to the dreaded cold and flu season, it was clear that the Ponies were less than 100 percent. Prior to Bozeman...

  • Rivals: Lights host Bulldogs, Griffins

    George Ferguson|Updated Jan 9, 2014

    The Montana State University-Northern men’s basketball team is certainly feeling good after its dramatic overtime win last Saturday at Dickinson State, but in the Frontier Conference, there’s no time to relax. The No. 15 Lights (2-1, 14-3) return home from last weekend’s split at Rocky Mountain College and DSU to face a pair of bitter Frontier rivals. Tonight, the Lights play host to the UM-Western Bulldogs, and things get even more challenging when MSU-N hosts...
