How relevant is this in the midst of a contentious election year and in deciding who will lead our states and our nation?

Now unscrupulous political operatives backed by dark money are attacking him using half-truths and lies. I wholeheartedly endorse Judge Sandefur for the Montana Supreme Court, and I will set the record straight. Judge Sandefur has rock-solid credentials on criminal justice issues. Judge Sandefur imposes tough sanctions on criminals who...

Remember when Marc Mariani was making a name for himself returning kickoffs and punts for the Tennessee Titans? Remember that Pro Bowl season of 2010? Seems like a long time ago now. But to Mariani, and Tennessee fans, it doesn’t seem that way anymore because the former Havre High and Montana Grizzly star is doing it all over again. On Sunday, Mariani had five returns for 40 total yards in the Tennessee Titans’ win over the Miami Dolphins. That followed a game in which Mar...
There were plenty of important high school football games in the surrounding area over this past weekend, but the local teams with the most important victories, were Chester-Joplin-Inverness and North Star. The Hawks, who came into their road game with Centerville last Saturday right in the thick of the playoff race in the Northern C of Class C 8-Man football and after getting a 46-28 win over the Miners, improved its playoff position that much more. Cory Richter was once agai...
