Loma sits wrapped around U.S. Highway 87 north of Fort Benton and south of Havre. The town has a population of 85, according to the 2010 U.S. Census. The town grew up at a mecca where three rivers meet: the Teton River, which runs into the Marias River, which runs into the Missouri. This meeting of rivers makes for some great fishing. Catfish, bass, northern pike, walleye and sauger are some of the species that travel the rivers throughout the year, and in some weeks, anglers...
People along the Hi-Line have had a good time this month challenging friends to pour ice-cold water over their heads as a way of raising funds for the ALS Association.

But, to be honest, the federal stimulus legislation and Obamacare paid the lion’s share of the new building. They are decried as being government interference in our lives, but the truth be told, lots of people will be way...
War doesn’t do as much for humanity as it used to. We’re all so angry and ill-tempered it’s tiresome. Where's the unity? After World War I and its exciting sequel World War II, the war franchise seems to have increasingly fizzled as a means to unify people. Allies aren’t close buddies. All the enemies declare their own victory. People are dead, money is spent and no one gets a sense of satisfaction. Enemies, allies, countrymen, neighbors, everyone is so crabby-...

The Hill County Commission is sending a request to voters in November for a tax to pay for work at the Havre City-County Airport. Commissioner Jeff LaVoi, who sits on the airport board, said the tax would pay for Federal Aviation Administration-mandated work on the runway and for repairs and maintenance. If the runway work is not done, it could affect federal funding and having a commercial airline fly to and from the airport, now provided by the Essential Air...
A federal judge again disappointed both sides in Thursday's sentencing of a woman involved in the death of an 11-month-old Oct. 21 on Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation.

Kaidynce's mother, Jasmine Small, and members of her family had asked for a sentence of life i...
