    Karla Pomeroy, Editor|May 28, 2016

    Memorial Day is Monday, May 30. It’s not about barbecues, three-day weekends, rodeos or sales. It’s about our servicemen and women who have served our country and who paid the ultimate sacrifice in fighting for our freedoms. It’s about the Pat Tillman’s of the world.

He was killed in Afghanistan in 2004, unfortunately by friendly fire, but while serving his country, fighting for his country. It’s about the young men during World Wa...

  • Beaver dam fails, travel in Glacier impacted

    May 28, 2016

    WEST GLACIER, Mont. (AP) — For tourists trying to get to some sights in Glacier National Park, it’s been a dam inconvenience. Travel along part of a popular route through the Montana landmark was limited for the fourth straight day Thursday after heavy rains caused a large beaver dam to fail and wash debris down a hillside early Wednesday, rangers said. The mudslide dragged dozens of trees and debris onto the scenic Going-to-the-Sun Road on the west side of the park, near some heavily used sights such as Lake McDonald, Lake McDonald Lodge, Apg...

Not so for these Lady Warriors as they put their foot to the floor and never looked back. Sophomore Casey Wassum got it rolling for her team scoring the match's first goal, then...

    Alex Kuhn, Sports Editor|May 28, 2016

    The NFL is the most frustrating professional American league in the whole country. Who else puts forth such a beloved product while also having the largest collection of sleezballs running the operation? Trick question, the NCAA has America's highest terrific product to scumbag suits ratio, but the NFL is a close second. Don't fret this is not another 900-plus words on Deflategate, as tempting as that may be, this is about the 32 NFL owners in their desperate attempt to okey-doke everyone into...
