The small towns of Turner and Hogeland in northern Blaine County can be an inspiration to the small communities along the rest of the Hi-Line. The roots in these communities are deep. Many people have lived there for decades. But like in many farm-based communities, the population is declining as farms grow bigger. There are fewer businesses to support the community. It is easier than it once was to drive to nearby communities or shop on the Internet. Some people would say the lifestyle of Turner and Hogeland are from...
Editor: Please help save Glacier's historic red buses that have served visitors since 1936. Ford contributed $6.5 million to completely refurbish the buses from 1999 to 2002. The buses have new chassis, transmissions and power trains, and they are now ultra-low emission vehicles. I drove a red bus in 1967, and I know how popular they have been with park visitors. The park service wants to retire the buses without consulting the public. Help Montana preserve this unique part of its cultural history. With complete public...

Little Chazlie Cripps, 4 1/2, and Tristan Riggle, 6, gave me a lot of hope Monday morning. They were standing on the sidewalk awaiting the start of the annual Memorial Day services at the Hill County Courthouse. John Kelleher Tristan was in his little car, and Chazlie was passing out poppies to the crowd, a fundraising event to help area veterans. Chazlie's grandma, Kim Cripps, and Tristan's grandpa, Keith Doll, were talking about how they can explain Memorial Day to kids that young. It's not easy to talk about death to...

BNSF spokesman Gus Melonas says crews worked through the night repairing track and the line was opened at 2:45 a.m. Saturday.

For the second time this season, the Havre High girls came up just short in a bid to beat the Class AA CMR Rustlers. Saturday evening at the Havre High gymnasium, the Rustlers beat the Blue Ponies 50-43 in overtime.

The Pony girls are back at home Friday night to host Lewistown. Meanwhile, the HHS boys visited Great Falls Saturday and wer...

A badly needed water system that would have brought potable water to all parts of Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation has been put on hold. It appears the the books for the project are in a shambles, there are allegations of conflicts of interest and charges that substantial amounts of money are missing. So the federal government has put the project on ice. In an all-too-familiar response, tribal officials and those involved in the mess say they are not authorized to respond and refer questions to people who say they, too, are...
Havre and Hill County are celebrating Historic Preservation Month, an especially meaningful commemoration because the Hi-Line is so rich in history. Havre and Hill County are relatively new on the scene. Most of the country was pretty well settled when Havre became a reality. But we have a rich and intriguing history. In the early days, it was a pretty wild town, and Havre Beneath the Streets tells the story of those crazy days. One of the nation's largest forts was located just south of town, and its remnants remain. Fort...

PHOENIX (AP) — Jodi Arias was convicted of first-degree murder Wednesday in the gruesome killing of her one-time boyfriend in Arizona after a four-month trial that captured headlines with lurid tales of sex, lies, religion and a salacious relationship that ended in a blood bath.

AP Photo/APTN, Pool In this image made from pool video provided by APTN, Jodi Arias reacts during the r...
