    Chris Peterson|Updated Aug 30, 2018

However, this week, with two conference matches on the schedule, the conference season at least starts for real.

  • Skylights face big-time teams at Bellevue College Tourney

    George Ferguson|Updated Aug 30, 2018

    The Montana State University-Northern Skylights went 0-4 in the season-opening Big Sky Challenge last weekend in Butte but the scores didn't indicate just how well the Skylights played at times. Northern kept just about every set it played in Butte, no matter the opponent, within a 3-4 point spread, and while MSU-N won just two of those sets over the course of four matches, the Skylights could take away plenty of positives. Now though, the challenges for a young Northern team...

Wednesday, North Star Activities Director Brian Campbell announced the Knights would be forfeiting their Six-Man North...

  • Help ensure our seniors, veterans continue to have health care – vote yes on I-185

    Updated Aug 30, 2018

    This fall, we have the opportunity to ensure that nearly 100,000 Montanans including our seniors, veterans and their families continue to have health care. If we do not pass the Healthy Montana Initiative or I-185 hardworking Montanans could be harmed. Kudos to all the health care associations that were proactive in designing I-185, with funding provided through an increase in the tobacco tax. It prevents cuts to Medicaid including services to veterans, children, seniors and people with disabilities. I-185 would also: • H...

  • Looking out my Backdoor: Girl on bike, woman in red car

    Sondra Ashton|Updated Aug 30, 2018

    It’s a mystery. I hear Jack Webb’s voice (Sgt. Joe Friday) in my ear. “Just the facts, Ma’am. Just the facts.” July 25, a sweltering sunny afternoon, my granddaughter Antoinette, rode her bike down Kendrick, a side street in Glendive, Montana. At 3:30 her Mother sat in her office, recording client notes into a file, waiting for her 4 o’clock appointment, when her phone rang. “Mom, come get me. I wrecked my bike. I don’t know where I am.” She was on a street she rode every da...

  • Hughes Creek Road illustrates need for road fine bill

    Updated Aug 30, 2018

    For decades, hunters in Ravalli County have been blocked off from reaching our public lands in the Bitterroot National Forest by an illegal gate on Hughes Creek Road. This route has an extensive history that well establishes its status as a county road, going back to records as far as 1898. Yet a handful of people who live along the road put up a gate and blocked off public access to public lands. The same people who gated the road actually filed in the 1980s to have it officially abandoned by the county — their own a...
