With the start of winter now just two months away, and the El Niño pattern that had much of the United States in a warm grip the last two years now over, many weather officials are pointing toward, at the very least, a return to a kind of winter that...

It’s that time of year again when the nights and mornings get a little cooler the leaves start changing color and the elk are bugling.

As a father of four and a product of Montana’s public schools from kindergarten at Longfellow Elementary School in Bozeman through college at Montana State University, I look forward to this time of year and the new beg...
I like to write letters. I like to receive letters. It’s a lifelong habit for me. While I no longer have a mailbox, I do have an email account and a computer. While the pleasure is not even similar to pulling down the flap of the aluminum container perched on a post at the end of the drive, I have learned to compensate. We live in a wondrous and fearful world. Everything — letters, bills, junkmail, spam, appears on my screen without visible means of support. Just this week, in...

Northern ended a brutal 2015 campaign allowing over 50 points and 500 yards of total offense per outing. Fast forward to now, and the Lights’ defense is shining like few...

That tournament takes place Saturday at East Glacier Golf Course. There are two ways for a high school golfer to rea...

And that’s what makes it’s not onl...
Last Friday night, the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team put on a display of exactly what it takes to win in the Frontier Conference. And, Northern is hoping for more of that same kind of play tonight in the Armory Gymnasium. That’s because the Skylights (1-1, 2-9) will need it if they are to send their visiting arch rival UGF Argos (1-1, 7-8) back to Great Falls with a loss. Tonight’s Frontier Conference showdown starts at 7, and is the first of two mat...
