From railroaders to farm workers, rural and city, hills to the flats, and irrigated lands vs dryland farming, I continue to be in awe of the diversity we see throughout Montana Senate District 14. Ever so evident in the ag community experience this year. Harvest has been finished for over a month in the east and south parts of the district. The northwest area of the district is currently in full harvest mode. It seems the east and south were a couple of weeks ahead and the northwest is about that much behind on average. Of...
The fall of the Afghan government and the return of the Taliban has left policymakers and the public grasping for answers and apportioning blame. The deaths of 13 U.S. servicemen and -women and 170 Afghans at the Kabul Airport punctuate this tragic state of affairs. Many ask how the Afghan government, after an injection of $89 billion over 20 years, could collapse so quickly. Critical to this debate is Montana’s support for our veterans — as well as the Afghan people. We tend to assign failure to anyone who easily con...

Vengeance was on the Blue Ponies' mind when they went on the road to play Lewistown Friday night. Last fall, Havre High football lost 21-0 to Lewistown so they were looking for a more competitive outcome this fall. However, Lewistown continued to shut down the Pony offense as Havre lost 33-0. “It didn’t feel very good for the Ponies,” HHS head coach Ryan Gatch said. “We just weren’t able to make enough plays, and so it’s one of those things where we can keep developing as a team. We got to keep learning and growing and...

SEATTLE — The Montana Grizzlies engineered the biggest upset in school history and what will likely go down as the biggest upset in college football this season Saturday night in Seattle, as the No. 9 FCS Griz knocked off the #20 FBS Washington Huskies 13-7. The game, a defensive showcase for the Griz, will go down in history as just the sixth FCS win over a ranked FBS opponent in the last 40 years. Montana held the high-powered Husky offense to just 65 rushing yards and c...

In a close battle, the Knights prevailed by...
