This rig is obviously a lemon, and to keep putting it back in service is not doing the public any good, any help.

The Forest Service owns 69 percent of all merchantable timber in Montana. They own the good saw logs.

The Forest Service issued a 'high' avalanche warning on Tuesday. It really became hazardous conditions because we had 12 to 16 inches of new snow on top of old snow, and then we had high winds and some rain.

We'll be watching as the storm approaches. If we see a service area is about to be hit by high winds, we will literally have crews loaded and sitting in trucks, ready to go.

In December, we had the infamous ice storm and we lost telephone service for several days, and we are exploring ways to have that not happen again.

We see it as a logical extension of the service that you can use wherever you are.
