The Great Northern Fair Board selected Frank English as its new fairgrounds manager during its monthly meeting Tuesday at the Community Center at the fairgrounds. “The board chose him because of his handyman experience and his ability to make the required repairs around the grounds,” Fair Board Chair Tyler Smith said. The Great Northern Fair Board hasn’t had a Fair Manager since March 2018 and ran the fair last year using all volunteers, including members of the board.

The Havre Dog Park Club is moving forward on its plans to create a dog-friendly park for Havre. The park board voted on dimensions for its park when it met June 11, setting it at a 500-by-400-foot area for the dogs. Havre Dog Park club member Shannon Bergren said the goal for the project is to have well-balanced, socialized dogs in a maintained, safe, peaceful place for the dogs to play. The park will be located southeast of the Havre Ice Dome. “I think having an off-leash area where dogs and people can be social and get p...
Two north-central Montana counties have banded together to bring back the Relay for Life Friday, June 28, after last year’s unexpected cancellation. “I think it’s great,” committee member Donna Tilleman said. “I can’t wait, not to say that we haven’t had a few bumps in the road getting to this point, but I’m excited to see it come back, and hopefully we’ll build on this and just keep growing.” Relay for Life is the signature fundraiser for the American Cancer Society and is staffed and coordinated by volunteers in thous...

I pledge to always listen, represent our values, and protect our Montana way of li...

Afters-school programs provide a safe alternative, offering fun, educational opportunities during those sometimes-perilous hours. Here at the Boys & Girls Club of the Hi-Line, children have the opportunity to have a healthy meal, work on homework, play with their friends a...
I’ve got a good friend, Ayo, who told me, “Don’t use your head to break a coconut.” As I wrote about in my memoir, “Blue Yarn,” I lived in Lagos, Nigeria, for almost four years, and I met Ayo there.

The advice Ayo generally gives, however, annoys me because it challenges the way I think. “Have you consi...
