Editor: Thanks goes out to so many people for supporting the 2015 Community Thanksgiving Dinner. As I reflect on another successful year, my thoughts are this: It takes just one. One conversation with Alan to confirm the commitment to Thanksgiving 2015. One request to the donor to fund the dinner. One phone call to check in with Chef Peter. One phone call to Gus Sharp to secure his support to manage the deliveries. Just one phone call to Gary & Leo’s Fresh Foods to confirm their support to bake turkeys, pies and rolls. J...

We hope other communities and schools follow s...

Emotions can bring out the best in people, and sometimes the worst. And, it seems, nothing is as emotional to people as their sports and their favorite teams. And that’s why, November 23 will always be remembered as an emotional day for fans, alumni, players, and anyone else associated with the Montana State Bobcats football program. And, emotions were certainly running high when MSU athletic director Peter Fields announced the firing of head coach Rob Ash. I’ll admit, the...

Moreover, with a slew of talented returning players, few teams are looking forward to the start of the season more than the Havre Blue Ponies.

It should be a good early-season test for HHS and will give young players such as Jacob LaBrie a chance to shine. LaBrie, who will be a junior...
With the strongest El Niño in nearly two decades expected to last through the winter months, local farmers and ranchers could be seeing less snowpack and possibly a dryer agricultural year, though experts say exactly what will come still is unknown. “El Niño is going to have an impact on our weather, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re not going to have winter-type weather,” said Bob Hoenisch, National Weather Service meteorologist in Great Falls. “It just will affect, kind of, the overall average.” El Niño is a wea...
