Kody Campanella of Havre was in a car crash last month that devastated his head and upper body and landed him in the surgery room many times over.

Campanella also needed stitches on his neck from where glass shards were removed and...

They soundly r...

The Chester-Joplin-Inverness football team came into 2016 having undergone plenty of changes from last season. Yet, one of the few things that went unchanged is the presence of Cory Richter.

I think it’s safe to say, I’m a fan of golf. I’m pretty sure everyone knows that. And, I’m a big fan of the Ryder Cup, and I, as much as anybody, desperately wanted the Americans to win back the Ryder Cup two weeks ago in Minnesota. So I was elated when Team USA did just that. And, as we all saw on television, the atmosphere at Hazeltine National in Minnesota was unlike anything anybody has seen in golf. It was loud, raucous, and at times, bordered on anarchy. From a gallery s...
