Tropical Storm Lidia whooshed unrelenting rainclouds our way before veering off with a huff into the Pacific, energy dissipated. We nestle in a mountain valley dominated by Volcan de Tequila, or Tequillan, “the place where they cut.” Volcan de Tequila has been inactive for 220,000 years but once spewed obsidian throughout an extensive area. People have mined obsidian here since ancient times. Since she no...

While people are asking about how the dry conditions and fire danger will affect hunting seasons, FWP is not recommending that the Fish and Wildlife Commission close hunting seasons. “Because of widely variable conditions and different types of hunting scenarios across the state, that is a decision rightly left to an individual landowner, a block management cooperator, or a land manager. If a private landowner or a land management agency such as the Forest Service or Bureau of Land Management makes the decision to restrict o...

Here's a few notes on what the Orediggers did to Carroll. Quarterback Quinn McQueary, a ho-hum 300-yard p...
When Tommy Wilson was trying to decide where to go after junior college, his main focus was finding a school where he could compete and potentially start right away at quarterback. But in addition to getting a chance to compete for a starting job, Wilson also wanted a chance to play against some of the best teams that the NAIA has to offer, which made Montana State University-Northern, a member of the vaunted Frontier Conference, a perfect destination. Not only did the Lights...
