  • Up to my neck in hot water

    Sondra Ashton|Updated Oct 10, 2013

    Last week I headed down the road from Havre to begin my journey to Mexico. I thought I might go to Saratoga in southern central Wyoming for their hot springs. That stubborn van I drive has a mind of her own, that's for sure. She insisted we bop into Missoula and head down I-90 west, never my favorite route. Just out of St. Regis, I tripped over nostalgia, took the exit and contined north another 20 miles to Quinn's Hot Springs. Back in the '80s Quinn's was our favorite family...

    As the federal government shutdown closes in toward a third week, impacts are still hitting the local area, with the tribal government at Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation announcing furloughs and reduced hours in some departments. At Fort Belknap Indian Reservation, Chief Administrative Officer Loren “Bum” Stiffarm said he would know more after a finance meeting this morning, but, for the moment, the Fort Belknap Indian Community has not laid off or furloughed anyone. “Not yet,” he said. “We’re surviving.” But the federal Burea...

    The halfway point in the Frontier Conference volleyball season arrives tonight for the Montana State University-Northern Skylights.

    George Ferguson|Updated Oct 10, 2013

    The Montana State University-Northern Lights are already down to just four games remaining in 2013. Yet, it’s only the halfway point in the Frontier Conference season. The Lights (4-2) however, have been going hard since their season-opening win at Dickinson State back on Aug. 29, and have finally reached the first of two bye weeks. Northern, like much of the Frontier, has this week off, before returning to the road to square off with red-hot Southern Oregon Oct. 19. MSU-N t...

  • George Ferguson Column: Frontier might be as good as it's ever been

    George Ferguson|Updated Oct 10, 2013

    I’ve said for years now, the Frontier Conference is very good. And if you ask a lot of people who have been watching Frontier football a lot longer than I have, they’ll tell you the same thing. And while I thought last season was one of the most intriguing seasons in the Frontier in quite some time, I might have to retract that statement come November. Certainly, 2012 was interesting, and refreshing. It was refreshing to see teams like Montana Tech and Southern Oregon sta...
