    George Ferguson|Updated May 14, 2013

    The weather took a turn for the better last week and is still going strong. Temperatures were up, the sun was shining and golfers turned out in droves at area courses. Those droves included last week’s men’s league action at Prairie Farms Golf Course. Last Tuesday night saw Korb Construction take high-team honors with 25 points. The team was composed of Justin Newton, Matt Hedstrom, Pat Foster and Dave Boles. Newton fired a 1-under-par 35 to earn low gross, while Tom Pat...

    Roger Koopman|Updated May 14, 2013

    If talk is cheap, political talk is even cheaper. We can thank our governor for reminding us of this, when he vetoed two bills, unanimously endorsed by the PSC, that would have provided consumers with well-deserved protection against rising energy costs. Steve Bullock won the election by convincing enough people that his brand of Big Government would somehow help working folks and people on fixed incomes. But the game is over, the crowd went home, and the scoreboard reads: Radical Environmentalists: 2. Working Stiffs: 0. Sena...

Taps have been placed on 20 phone lines going in and out of the AP’s bureaus in Washington, D.C., New York City and Hartford, Conn. The unprecedented snooping into the private affairs of the news cooperative is totalitarian in nature and an absolute outrage.

    Tim Leeds|Updated May 14, 2013

    Once again — for now, at least — both sides of the border at the Port of Wild Horse north of Havre are planning to stay open the same hours. U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced Monday it would keep the summer hours at Wild Horse — open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. — running through Oct. 31.

    Tim Leeds|Updated May 14, 2013

    Fresh off of its last event, the board of Havre’s public museum is deep into the planning of its next major event, its participation in Havre’s annual Living History Day, slated this year for Saturday, June 1. One planned event is being tweaked — another celebrity will join one of the H. Earl Clack Museum’s newest additions for Living History. Gary Wilson, who chaired the Clack Museum Board’s meeting in the absence of board chair Judi Dritshulas, said Dritshulas will spice up that event. “It’s not just a tea party any mor...
