What a weekend of sports in Havre, and beyond. I guess that’s what you get when you mix the fall sports season, homecoming at Montana State University-Northern and Festival Days together. And while it will be hard for any weekend coming up to live up to the excitement of this past one, don’t worry, because there’s plenty of great sporting events to come this weekend too. But before we jump ahead to what we’ll likely see this weekend, let’s look back at the weekend that was. He...
Growing up east of Billings, I didn’t ski. I didn’t know anybody who did. So, for me, the first snow meant a few days of exhilaration and about six months of being cold. I know some skiers now. They always get excited when the snow flies. For them, winter is cold — but it’s fun. That’s what Obamacare is like. You don’t have to like it — although people do — but it's coming. On Oct. 1, some of Obamacare’s biggest changes will begin. Montana’s online insurance store — the Marketplace — will open for business. This portal was bu...
Native American Week is being celebrated this week, and activities are planned throughout the area. Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation is planning a host of activities, some light-hearted and fun, others serious and meaningful. Most schools in Indian Country are working on projects for students to take part in. It is heartening to see Havre schools planning programs to educate students — most of them non-Native — about the people who lived in Montana thousands of years before Europeans arrived. Native Americans have done a great...

Someone took more than their fair share Friday at the “Free Clothes Fence.” Though the clothes are free to those in need, someone took every piece of clothing on the fence, which wraps around Brannigan’s house and was full at the time. “They took everything: the hangers, clothespins, clothes,” Brannigan said. “This has happened three times.” Brannigan said the clothes were taken between 8 and 9 p.m. Friday. She checked the fence just before 8 p.m., sat down to watch “20/20” and then checked on the fence again. “I couldn...

A U.S. senator and the Montana lieutenant governor both told Hill County Democrats last Friday that they believe it is crucial for party members to mobilize to find and elect candidates and to get people to the polls in 2014.

Jon Tester, D-Mont., said Hill County has made a difference in putting Democrats in the state Legislature and getting Democrats out to vote and must do so again next year. “We do make a difference, and it’s important,” he said. He said one reason it is important in 2014 are two issues the Legis...

Baucus, who started his career in the Senate in 1978 after previously serving in the U.S. House of Representatives and in the Montana Legislature, announced in March he would not...
