from Byron Ophus Perhaps news about weather and snow conditions is getting old but it's impossible to ignore the contrast that took place at the hill this past weekend. Spring skiing finally arrived Saturday. While ski weather has been pleasant and conditions good, until this weekend there really hasn't been a true spring skiing day. That changed Saturday.

In looking back at the list of bills and resolutions the Education Committee has heard or are going to hear, this is what I found: 68 total bills were heard, of which 31 were potentially going to be a cost to the state, 21 of the total had at least one amendment, with one of those bills having three amendments.

That being said, other committees have seen amendments that totally chang...

But Peter still loves collies. The current object of Peter’s affection is named Lassero and lives on a road Peter takes every day on his hike. Peter...

I’m really going to miss golfing in Havre. I’m going to miss playing men’s league, playing in tournaments and playing Saturday afternoons with so many of my friends. I’m going to miss coaching high school golf, and all the goings on that comes with golf on the Hi-Line. But this isn’t a goodbye to the golf column. I did that a long time ago, and before I left Havre for a new golfing adventure in the Mile High City, I said more than my share of goodbyes. Instead, this is hello....
