Few things bring fear or dread into my life. When my car breaks down, I admit to approaching a state of near panic. This is mostly imaginary. When I was 23, a truck plowed into the side of my pick-up while I was driving east of U.S. Highway 2. I went into shock. I nearly lost my life. I have absolutely no memory of fear. And in actuality I cannot bring up one instance of car trouble, in which I didn’t know help was nearby or AAA would gallop to my rescue. My car problems w...

The start of the North American Tier 3 Hockey League season was a tough one for the Glacier Nationals, but when you play the top two teams in your division, that’s to be expected. For the Nationals the fact that they started 0-2 and were defeated so handily had a lot to do with the fact that they faced Great Falls, which defeated them 12-1 and Helena, which bested them 7-1 at the Havre Ice Dome last Saturday. Fortunately, for the Nationals, the NA3HL season is a long one, a...
Havre has a history of great sports families. Actually, most communities the size of Havre do. Sporting legacies are seemingly always passed on from generation to generation.

From 1968-1995, Bymaster was teaching the game of golf to hundreds of Blue Pony golfers, and while he accomplished many great things during his tenure o...
