Montana Gov. Steve Bullock said Thursday he doesn't want to get any more cramps in his fingers from vetoing so many bills. So he is asking Hi-Line voters to send fellow Democrats Greg Jergeson and Janet Trethewey to the state Legislature. The two will help him get his proposals such as Medicaid expansion, school aid and pre-kindergarten programs through the recalcitrant Legislature. Bullock spoke before a Democratic Party get-out-the-vote rally at the Eagles Club Thursday...
Bruce Harold Sunchild has scheduled a change-of-plea hearing for Nov. 10 in the United States District Court in Great Falls after new theft and tax evasion charges against him were unsealed.

Editor: It seems that nothing good is going on out here in Rocky Boy. But I am here to tell you that is just not true. There are way more good going on out here than there is bad, way more. I have worked out here for 21 years now, and I consider many of these people my brothers, sisters and grandchildren. The foundations of Rocky Boy are firm, they are good, they are strong. The culture, the language, the traditions are good. The spiritual foundations, whether they be Catholic, Lutheran, Traditional Chippewa or Cree, or what...

The last home matches are always an emotional time for the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team.

Northern will try to do just that...

I’m not saying my childhood was any more awesomer than anyone else’s — certainly it had its share of dark points and failures, many of these self-induced — but my childhood had its amazing highlights that others would be hard pressed to equal or exceed. Specifically, I got to raise, care for and see up close a wide variety of wild animals. Did you get to raise black bear cubs and take them to second-grade show and tell? I think not. Even though one of them peed on a classmate’s desk, I still had plenty of playgroun...

One of the activities the kids could have or can take part in is the Highland Park Early Primary School Carnival, scheduled throughout their school day. At the carnival, they will be able to p...
