In 1976-1980 the odds for five-year relative survival from breast cancer were 59 percent. My mother skewed that statistic when she celebrated her first win over the cancer. A single mastectomy bought her five more years. But then the cancer came back. Her remaining breast and chest tissue were the battleground. She and my father took her...

There wasn’t as much in the way of home sports in Havre and on the Hi-Line, but that doesn’t mean the excitement wasn’t equally as high. And as we head into another great week of athletics, here’s some things you might not have seen in Monday’s sports pages, as well as a look ahead at the coming weekend. Once again, the Havre High cross country teams made good use of the one day the Blue Ponies get to run in Havre. It always amazes me how well the Blue Ponies do in their own...
