Snow was falling this morning and the temperature rising — Havre City-County Airport recorded a comparatively balmy zero degrees by 11 a.m. — but while temperatures may hit warmer than zero in the next week or two, forecasters do not expect them to hit anywhere near normal. Christian Cassell, a meteorologist in Great Falls with National Weather Service, said a chunk of cold air from the polar regions broke off and descended into central North America this month, plunging temperatures in the east and then moving west.

People have an opportunity to socialize and have some homemade pie Thursday at the annual Valentine’s Day Pie Social held by the Friends of the Library. Havre-Hill County Library Director Rachel Rawn said the social runs from noon to 4 p.m. but people might want to be in by 3 p.m. or earlier to have a better look at the whole pies that are sold toward the end of the social. “It’s really just a social thing,” Rawn said. Some of the same people come to the social every year, but new people come each year, as well, to sociali...
Rep. Jonathan Windy Boy, D-Box Elder, has introduced a bill to create a task force that will help tribal college credits transfer to off-reservation colleges and universities. "For me, this is long overdue," Windy Boy said. He said this is an equal-opportunity bill that will make it so that no tribal college students will have to spend extra time and money to obtain their degrees. Now, many college classes from tribal colleges will not transfer to most units of the Montana...
I’ve been enjoying the recent patch of typical sub-zero Montana winter weather. The colder the snow, the easier it is to shovel. It was lucky that Rocky Creek was frozen over when 39 train cars derailed last week, dumping over 4000 pounds of coal into it, or the whole Gallatin watershed could have been contaminated. When the 49 runaway train cars came down Mullen pass and exploded the cold weather in Helena in 1989 was both a blessing and a curse. At minus 25, the water that firefighters used to attempt to extinguish the f...

So, it's no surprise that Weber was recently announced as a finalist for the prestigious Montana AAU Little Sullivan Award. The Montana Little Sullivan Award was fashioned after the national AAU Little...
