The University of Montana Western’s Biology Department speaker series, Life: Inside and Out (LIO), is underway for the 2025–2026 academic year. LIO invites scientists from across the country to share their research with the Montana Western and Dillon communities in a way that is accessible to students and the general public. LIO invites all to attend the next presentation, “High-elevation Pine Physiological Responses to Drought” by Dr. Danielle Ulrich, on Wednesday, September 17, in UMW’s Lucy Carson Library. The series offers opportunities to learn directly from experts about exciting biological research happening today and possible career paths students might pursue with firsthand knowledge. All are welcome to attend. The first LIO presentation, held on August 20, showcased the research of the Montana Western Biology faculty and highlighted opportunities for students to participate in scientific projects. Our students engage in a wide range of research, from investigating antibiotic-resistant bacteria in local waterways to studying parasites that infect fish, exploring the internal anatomy of sharks and horses, and examining chronic wasting disease in local deer populations (a project recently awarded $350,000 from NSF). LIO presentations take place on the first Wednesday of every block at 4:00 p.m. on the first floor of the Lucy Carson Library.

DILLON, Mont. –  Montana Western football player Tyler Walker was named Erck Hotels/ Frontier Conference Football Defensive Player of the week after a strong outing against MSU-Northern Sept. 6.

Lima, MT – A series of suspicious incidents and a lengthy vehicle pursuit on Monday led to the apprehension of a suspect after a tense and multi-mile chase involving deputies from Beaverhead County. The day began when Sheriff Dave Wendt was approached by a biker who reported an encounter earlier that day at Monida. The individual claimed they were approached by a person selling guns and claiming a relative had passed away. The buyer told the suspect they could go to Idaho Falls for cash but then changed plans to Lima. When the buyer entered an Exxon to use their ATM, the suspect noticed the marked sheriff’s truck and left the scene quickly. Upon returning with the cash, the buyer was unable to locate the seller and approached Sheriff Wendt, reporting what happened. The buyer, suspecting the guns might be stolen, left the firearms with the sheriff. On September 1st, at 6:07 p.m., dispatch alerted Sheriff Wendt to a suspicious person near Dell. A caller reported that a man had come to their door looking for work and tried to sell her husband a pistol. The vehicle matched the description from the incident the day before. Sheriff Wendt quickly began searching for the suspect, with Deputy Fields heading toward the area. Deputy fields passed the vehicle on Red Rock road as it was heading towards I-15. Deputy Fields activated his emergency lights. Instead of stopping, the driver fled, getting onto I-15 southbound. Wendt set up stop sticks at the Red Rock fishing bridge, but the suspect ran through the median again, heading north on I-15. Near the Beaverhead River, Sheriff Wendt positioned his vehicle behind a guardrail and deployed stop sticks, successfully spiking two of the tires. At this point, a third deputy joined the chase, and all three continued pursuit. The suspect’s vehicle began losing parts of its tires as the chase extended about four more miles. The driver attempted to cross the median again into oncoming traffic, prompting deputies to initiate a pit maneuver. However, initial efforts were complicated by oncoming traffic and the fleeing vehicle’s erratic movements. Deputy Fields managed to get alongside the suspect’s car and pushed it off the road, bringing the pursuit to a close. The driver quickly exited the vehicle and surrendered about 80 yards away, ending the tense chase. Law enforcement officials secured the scene and transported the suspect into custody amid ongoing investigation into the initial gun sales and the suspect’s activities.
