A pizza fundraiser is set for Thursday to help Robert "Rob" Kelley pay for costs of his surgery to remove a tumor behind his left eye, and an online fundraiser has been started, as well. Kelley said that last June, a tumor was found behind his left eye and that Montana does not have a doctor who can perform surgery that far into the brain, so doctors in Billings referred him to a doctor in Seattle to remove it. He will be doing a pre-operation visit Tuesday, Jan. 28, and will...
Montana’s Sen. Steve Daines has introduced the Montana Water Rights Protection Act — MWRPA — to provide federal settlement of the water rights claims of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes — CSKT.

This is due to the undeniable fact that in water law, a settlement allows you to structure protection for junior water rights in a way that a trial does not...

He doesn’t care what the evidence is for Trump’s abuse of powe...

The Fort Benton girls have been in high gear all season, though, and that continued last Thursday as they crushed Chester-Joplin-Inverness 63-4. Fort Benton held the young Hawks without a single point in both the second and fourth quarters, while McKenzie Clark led four Longhorns in double figures with 14...
Montana State University-Northern athletics has been making multiple moves, and soon, Northern will have a club hockey team making moves on the Havre Ice Dome ice. Club hockey is not an actual NAIA sport and is not an athletic department sport at MSU-Northern, as the hockey club is funded independently. But the Lights will be a part of club college hockey, something that was announced last spring and is currently moving forward. The Lights have their head coach already, as...
