U.S. Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., said in a telephone press conference Wednesday that the federal government needs to change how it funds wildfire fighting, and it needs to treat wildfires like it does other natural disasters. "The Forest Service is robbing Peter to pay Paul when they are fighting these fires, and we need to fix that problem," Tester said Wildfire suppression is paid for through funds in the U.S. Forest Service budget. When fire suppression funds run low, the...
In a teletownhall held Wednesday night by phone and live-stream on Facebook, Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., blamed what he called "radical environmental groups" for blocking forest management projects that could reduce the frequency and severity of wildfires.

The teletownhall, which Daines...
“Can you name the seven deadly sins?” she asked. I lay on Bonnie’s table, my body full of acupuncture needles. “I hope there is no wrong answer,” I countered, considering my vulnerable position. “At one time, in my youth, I could have rattled them off easily.

I know Bonnie to be a thoughtful, introspective person, so I don’t accept a shrug but put her motivation on hold as none of my business unless she chose to share. “Pride?” I aske...

But the other difference is that both Blue Pony teams will get their first real look at some other Class A opponents, when they run Saturday at the Lewistown Invitational. The meet will start at...

But Yoder loved two things that got her to Northern. Obviously, she loves the sport of volleyball, and she wanted to play it at the collegiate level. And she also loves small towns and wanted a small-town atmosphere as she moved on from high school. "Honestly, at first, I didn't want to come to...

The need to address the rule was of great concern to bird hunters and as a result the Fish and W...
From Fish, Wildlife and Parks Upland bird hunting began Sept. 1 and hunters along the Rocky Mountain Front, especially in riparian areas, need to be aware they are in bear country.

That means hunters moving through thick brush along streams from Sept. 1 into November during the big game season could encounter a grizzly. Fish, Wildlife and Parks recommends hunters carry bear spray in addition to their...
