  • Hi-Line Athlete Profile: Alec Wagner, Lights Football

    Chris Peterson|Updated Sep 5, 2018

    Continuous effort and continuous improvement are the two things head coach Andrew Rolin has preached since his first day at the helm of the Montana State University-Northern football team, and no player has bought into that mindset more than senior Alec Wagner.

He said one of his goals was to help turn MSU-N around and he said under the direction of Rolin, he feels that change is starting to happen. "I...

  • #NotInvisible: Why are Native American women vanishing?

    Updated Sep 5, 2018

    By SHARON COHEN AP National Writer VALIER - The searchers rummage through the abandoned trailer, flipping over a battered couch, unfurling a stained sheet, looking for clues.

The group moves outside into knee-deep weeds, checking out a rusted garbage can, an old washing machine - and a surprise: bones. Ashley HeavyRunner Loring, a...

    As the president of the National Border Patrol Council, I have the privilege of representing 15,000 of the best men and women you’ll ever meet — the Border Patrol Agents who work 24 hours a day to secure our borders.

  • Letter to the Editor - Kraninger against important basic protections

    Updated Sep 5, 2018

    Editor, Who is Kathy Kraninger? Well if you’ve ever had anyone in your family conned by a payday lender, you should know. The Senate could confirm Ms. Kraninger soon to run the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and she seems ready to try to roll back protections for borrowers of payday loans. Like most Americans, I think these basic protections are important to keeping our state safe from scams. Thankfully, Sen. Jon Tester put consumers in Montana ahead of predatory lenders. During the Senate vote Tester said, “My con...
