  • The year in review: 2018

    Tim Leeds|Updated Dec 31, 2018

    The past 12 months were filled with local news, some happy, some distressing, ranging from politics to helping people in need, from trying to find why indigenous women are so much more likely to be murdered or to disappear to having a legendary actor put on a show on the Hi-Line. And, once again, weather filled many of the headlines. Following a year in 2017 in which dry conditions led to national-level fires in the area then a record-setting devastating blizzard at the start...

  • Letter to the Editor - Beavers in Beaver Creek Park – Enemy or ally?

    Updated Dec 31, 2018

    It depends on who you ask. Are beavers a nuisance or an invaluable Mother Nature-provided stream ecosystem engineer? Like many things in our biological world, both attitudes are partly right and partly not right. Beavers cut down trees, flood areas, alter vegetation communities, jeopardize infrastructure, sometimes spread diseases and complicate some irrigation practices. All of these can be problems, nuisances, costs, lost profits and inconveniences to personal goals. However, beaver activity also contributes to stream...

    George Ferguson|Updated Dec 31, 2018

    In women’s basketball, the Frontier Conference has been as good as any league in the NAIA for a long time now. And, the last two years, it’s been on full display with the national tournament being held in Billings. The only thing missing from the Frontier’s resume is a national championship, but with a league so deep in talent, that could change in the Metra in March. Entering conference play, the Frontier has four teams ranked inside the NAIA Top 25, and two more knock...

  • Frontier Preview: Coaching changes make for an interesting Frontier season

    George Ferguson|Updated Dec 31, 2018

    Before the 2018-19 Frontier Conference season began, it was already going to be remembered as the year of sweeping coaching changes. Steve Keller shocked the league and left UM-Western for Providence, while Brandon Rinta moved on from Lewis-Clark State, and Carson Cunningham left Carroll for an NCAA DI job. All that means there are three new coaches in the league this season, and four of the six teams have new head men on the bench. However, now that January has arrived, the...
