Through the years, numerous water compacts and other state-tribal agreements, such as the Flathead Hunting and Fishing agreement, which I reviewed as attorney general for legal sufficiency and Gov, Stan Stephens signed in 1990, have been negotiated and passed with the best interests of all Montanans in mind. The compact that is now being considered by the...

    Sondra Ashton|Updated Feb 26, 2015

    Recovery from surgery has multi-faceted aspects. In my considered opinion, most aspects don’t bear the attention we tend to give them.

Eventually, discomforts pass. Take a simple thing like learning to walk. When an infant learns to walk, she is cute. The baby pulls herself up onto the lip of the c...

  • Box Elder girls charge into Northern C semis

    George Ferguson|Updated Feb 26, 2015

    GREAT FALLS - The Box Elder Bears hadn't seen the floor at the Four Seasons Arena in three years. And for a time, the nerves of their first Northern C girts tournament since 2012 showed. But, in the final 16 minutes, the Bears, who finished second at last weekend's District 9C tournament, looked like a team that more than belonged in the toughest divisional tournament in the state.
