Earlier this month, Montana's Move Over law went into effect, requiring drivers to significantly slow down when they encounter stationary law enforcement, emergency, towing, maintenance or construction vehicles at the side of the road and to change lanes when possible. Havre Police Chief Gabe Matosich said the law is most important for protecting people on the highways, but even in town the officers often need as much space as possible when conducting traffic stops or other...
Havre Art Association announced Monday it was canceling its annual art show due to concerns about spreading COVID-19. “We are witnessing an increase in COVID cases among our families and friends,” a release from the association said. “The Havre Art Show brings together many people for a leisurely time to view local art work, visit with folks from our area, and generally linger and wander and have a lovely time. However, to be responsible to ourselves and to Havre and the surrounding area, we have decided to cancel The annua...
My Auntie Jo gave me a beautiful pair of gloves yesterday. They are elegant, with embroidery on the top, and I immediately did what I usually do — I put them away for safekeeping. “I’ll wear these to something special!” I told myself. I have a date to go with my niece to see “Peter Pan” in December. I decided I would wear those gloves when I go out with my beautiful 20-year-old niece before she heads out to Spain to study for a semester in Madrid. That will certainly b...

For those who don’t know, Montana already has 40 photonics tech companies employing over 1,000 people with high wages. Early projections are t...
I have a boyhood memory of the blockbuster award-winning movie “Exodus,” staring a young Paul Newman as the leader of Jewish refugees and Palestinian Jews in their epoch struggle to establish the nation of Israel. In commenting on the movie, my grandmother told me that her grandfather would sometimes disappear into the cellar of his house to read what I understand now was probably an English translation of the Hebrew holy book, the Torah. With the aid of research by my sister, we have discovered that the mother of the gra...
As a Republican candidate for Montana superintendent of public instruction, I have a simple, but clear vision for our schools: I want to bring education back to basics. It shouldn’t be controversial. But bringing education back to the core basics is crucial for the overall development of our students. Focusing on foundational subjects like reading, writing, mathematics, history, and critical thinking will provide a strong academic base that all our students can build upon. My goal is to ensure that each child receives a c...

MOSCOW, Idaho - Gevani McCoy hit Hayden Hatten on a 12-yard touchdown pass with 2:47 to play and Idaho beat Montana State 24-21 in Moscow Saturday.

"They were able to jump on us in the first half in so many ways, and I think that paid dividends for them at...
