Now, though, Havre will take its show back on the road, and HHS will head to new territory as the Ponies visit East Helena to dual the Vigilantes and Lockwood Lions, among others this weekend. Both programs are relative newcomers to Class A, with each school opening in...
It's been 15 months since the Providence Argos won the 2019 Frontier Conference volleyball championship. That sounds like it wouldn't be right, but in fact, it is. Because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Frontier volleyball has been on hold. Now, though, after an entire fall, and more than a year without it, volleyball is back, as the league begins a special spring season. Of course, there will be so much different about this season, including the fact that it is in the...

I’d like to draw your attention to a bill that is refreshingly bipartisan. It could give small businesses and farms and ranches across the state a boost without costing taxpayers a dime. The bill is C-PACE: Commercial Property Assessed Capital Enhancements. C-PACE is an energy-efficiency financing tool for businesses and non-profits. It can help protect the character and...
Around 7 percent of Montanans are Native Americans, yet Indigenous people account for 26 percent of the missing persons cases in our state. Addressing the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons must be a priority for all leaders and communities throughout Big Sky Country, and as both a state senator and a member of the Northern Cheyenne, I’ve made it a top priority.

He was a mere month away from celebrating six years o...
