Another study on the impacts of upgrading the status of the crossing on the Canadian border north of Havre has found the same results: An increase in hours and easing the ability to haul freight across the border will help the economies of both north-central Montana and Alberta. Havre Mayor Tim Solomon, a co-chair of the Wild Horse Border Committee, said in a release that the report shows the economies of the two regions are connected and upgrading Wild Horse would grow the economies, add jobs and increase the economic...
Montana Democratic Sen. Jon Tester said Wednesday that, absent changes, it is unlikely that the health care bill introduced by leading congressional Republicans will pass the U.S. Senate. “I think it’s chances in the Senate right now without modification are pretty slim,” Tester said. House Republicans unveiled the American Health Care Act Wednesday as their long awaited bill to repeal and replace the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. Tester, who voted for Obamacare in 2010, said he might...

Sen. Jon Tester D-Mont, said Wednesday that he has sponsored two pieces of legislation regarding the Veterans Choice program and co-sponsored a third that would help rural communities improve their water and wastewater treatment systems. Tester said rural communities often don’t have the resources needed to maintain their water infrastructure due to a lack of revenue, though they often have to conform with the same federal and state safety standards as larger towns and cities, “Rural America is the backbone of this cou...

Typically, I go into a three-day slump — depression, the doldrums, call it what you will — when a friend leaves. Karen flies back to Floweree (a few houses perched at the end of that gravel road on the way to Great Falls) tomorrow. Ten days later my cousin Nancie leaves for Sedro Woolley in Washington, but she’ll return in June. I’ll barely have recovered from Nancie abandoning me, when Crin, who arrived last Monday, goes back to Victoria. Jim plans to drive back to Missouri that same week. Carol said she probably will be...

Through this program, a landowner who enters into a contractual agreement with FWP to allow public recreational access across private land to reach a parcel of otherwise inaccessible state or federal Bureau of Land Management or United States Forest Service land is entitled to re...
Ten years probably seems like an eternity to anyone who is a fan of Hays-Lodge Pole boys basketball. Yes, it’s been 10 years since a Thunderbird team played in the Class C state tournament. Today, when the T-Birds tip it up in the 2017 Class C state tourney in Bozeman, the wait will finally be over. But it isn’t just the 10-year anniversary of HLP’s last state tournament appearance. No, it’s something much more than that. A decade ago, the Thunderbirds won a Class C state c...
Jeremy MacDonald is a lot of things. He is a coach, he's an educator, he's a leader and he's a role model. He is also the architect of one of the great Class C basketball dynasties in history - and he has built it his way. It's true that players win games, not coaches. But when you win as much as the Box Elder Bears have under MacDonald, it's not a coincidence. And when you delve into what MacDonald has accomplished in six short years on the sidelines, it's safe to assume,...
The Montana State University-Northern men's basketball team had an outstanding season. The Lights racked up 21 wins and made it to the Frontier Conference semifinals. A lot of Northern's success was helped by the fact that the Lights were the top defensive team in the Frontier Conference. So, it's no surprise that Northern now also boasts the Frontier Conference Defensive Player of the Year. MSU-N junior Ryan Reeves was announced as the league's Defensive Player of the Year...
