MATT VOLZ Associated Press HELENA — Montana’s oversight of railroad safety falls short at a time when volatile crude oil train traffic from the Bakken region, already high, is only expected to increase, a new audit found. Montana has no active rail safety plan and employs only two inspectors to cover the vast state, the Montana Legislative Audit Division report released Wednesday said. In addition, there is a lack of statewide emergency planning and hazardous-material response capability should an oil spill occur, the rep...
Montana’s three-member congressional delegation split along party lines on a two-year budget accord that raises the nation’s debt ceiling, eases limits on domestic and defense spending and maintains the solvency of the Social Security trust fund. The agreement, forged by congressional leaders from both parties and the White House, staves off a potential debt default when the nation reaches its borrowing limit Nov. 3 and averts a possible government shutdown in December. Senators took to the floor to debate the deal bef...

Now a leper came up to Jesus and asked him for help, kneeling before him and saying, "If you want to you can cure me!" Jesus was struck by his faith and the greatness of the leper's, and immediately replied, "Of course I want to!" And with that he touched the leper's diseased body and the man was healed. But Jesus told the man, "Do not talk about this but just go show yourself to the priest who, according to the Law of Moses can certify you are no longer a leper and are no...

The Nationals (2-8-1) will take on the Ice Dogs (4-3-1) in a back-to-back division games starting tonight at 7:30. The two...
The Montana Grizzlies and Montana State Bobcats’ schedules mirror each other. Last week, both teams needed bounce-back wins at home and they both got them. Now, both squads are in need of big roads wins in order to keep their season’s from fading away before November even begins. For the No. 17 Grizzlies (3-1, 4-3), Saturday’s road trip to No. 13 Portland State (4-1, 6-1) may decide everything. Montana still has a good chance to win the Big Sky championship, but, a fourt...
One would have to go way, way back in history to find a time when the Montana State University-Northern football team played an un-ranked Carroll College. But that’s exactly the case in Northern’s only meeting with the Fighting Saints this season. On Saturday afternoon, Northern (0-7, 0-8) will trip to famed Nelson Stadium to take on a reeling Carroll College squad (3-4, 3-4). And by reeling, the Saints are on an unprecedented three-game losing streak and have already bee...

It was LCSC’s fourth straight win in league play, while the Skylights dropped to 2-7 in the Frontier. But as lopsided as the final score looked, it didn’t indicate how...

Before this season, it...
Playoff football is a special time in Montana, and with it we say goodbye to the Friday Night Lights. That’s because playoff football in Montana is played on Saturday afternoon’s — at least around these parts anyway. This Saturday afternoon will be a particularly special day for the Hi-Line, as three playoff football games will be going at the same time, and they’ll be separated by small stretches of highway from Chinook to Chester and Havre to Box Elder. But as special...
