Published Oct. 10, 2024 Greetings from Oregon! My grade school years in Butte were the happiest years of my childhood. I have never lost my love of Montana. I was stunned when I found a group of billionaires who wanted to keep their Trump tax breaks were slamming Jon Tester with tv adds to unseat him and put their Minnesota native representative in his place. Jon Tester is a native Montana farmer who still comes to his farm to work the planting and the harvest. He is your guy. Your other Senator voted against the infrastructu...
Published Oct. 10, 2024 By Ryan Busse If you live in Montana, there’s no doubt you feel the sting of this sobering fact: Montana just surpassed California to become the most unaffordable state in the nation. That’s not political hype; that’s according to the National Association of Realtors. Out-of-state millionaires and billionaires are flooding into our state, buying up property and jacking up our prices, turning Montana into their own personal playground. Many of our small schools can’t afford to hire teachers or have five...

BOZEMAN - The Montana State Bobcats biggest game of the season thus far turned out to be an easy one. On national TV, the Bobcats crushed nationally-ranked Idaho last Saturday night. Montana State's offensive controlled the football while the Bobcat defense shut down Idaho in a dominating performance between two top-10 teams in a Big Sky After Dark game broadcast on ESPN2 Saturday night from Bozeman. With the 38-7 win in front of 21,907 fans, the Bobcats raised their record to...
From a big road win last weekend, to perhaps the biggest win of the season thus far. Last Friday night, the Havre High football team pulled off a massive comeback win against No. 4 Laurel in a 27-20 victory at Blue Pony Stadium. Taking the early lead, and shutting out the high-powered Locomotives in the first half, Havre saw its 7-0 edge slip away in the third period as Laurel ripped off 20 unanswered points. And yet, head coach Jake Eldridge's team never quit. Down 20-7,...
Often I say that I am never bored. It’s true. Always I find plenty to do, things that I enjoy and want to do. Fortunately, I grew up learning to like whatever I am doing. I give credit to the good Sisters at St. Joseph’s. Even today, I take pleasure in plunging my hands into warm dishwater or ironing creases into my cotton pants. I’m not pure or perfect. I dislike touching sandpaper and a lot of things in my home would be better detailed had I not skipped a crucial step in a p...
Editor, Montana has had a history of solid public K-12 education which today is under threat. The threat is especially true because of the diversion of a stream of public funding away from the state’s general fund, thus reducing funding available for all public K-12 schools and students. If you are a public education advocate, there are important questions to be asked (or researched) of the candidates before marking your ballot. It is worth your time checking incumbent voting records and learning more about the public e...
When something is no longer working for the benefit of our state and country, “we the people” have a duty to lawfully and peacefully work to reform our government. Not long ago, Montana had a proud tradition of being a purple state. We valued the character and competence of a person running for office, over their party label. A person may be a Republican or Democrat because that’s the political philosophy they generally agreed with, but both the candidate and voters cared more about working for the good of their community, ne...
As a public school teacher at F.E. Miley Elementary in Big Sandy, I took great pride in preparing my students to be the next generation of Montana leaders. The students who walked in and out of my classroom all had the potential to impact our state in meaningful ways: as nurses and doctors in communities along the Hi-Line that desperately need more folks in medicine; as police officers and firefighters keeping their hometowns safe; as farmers and small business owners moving our state’s economy forward. Many of my students s...
It is with heavy hearts that the family of Lyle Allen Nalivka announce his passing September 29, 2024. Lyle was born September 3, 1952, and left us entirely too soon. While he always expected that his demise would be Wile E. Coyote dropping an anvil on his head, it was cancer that took him so suddenly from us. Lyle was the sixth of nine children born to Paul and Vivian Nalivka in Havre, Montana. Growing up, he worked alongside his siblings in the family's restaurant, The...
