Havre High School Principal Ed Norman has resigned in the wake of a controversy over the school's handling of an incident in October where a student entered the school in Halloween costume that featured black body makeup and was not sent home or confronted about it until well into the school day, according to some reports, and after numerous complaints from students and their parents. Norman sent a statement to the Havre Daily News this morning saying he submitted his letter...
The Hill County Commission has announced that it will be swearing in a new county attorney Monday morning, an appointee that they are refusing to release the name of, and appointed in a secret vote that was not publicized, which is in violation of Montana state law. Hill County Commission Chair Diane McLean said they do not release the names of people they hire until the process is complete, which would, in this case, be when they’re sworn in. “We don’t advertise ‘Oh by the way, we have that person starting for that positio...

In the most scandalous scandal to hit the beauty pageant world since Mary Leona Gage lied about her age and her marital and parental status then won Miss USA 1957 — proving that a married 18-year-old mother of two could beat the sashes off the 20-something-year-old single women — more than 40 beauty contestants at a festival in Saudi Arabia have been banned from competition for breaking rules that prohibit cosmetic alterations that unnaturally enhance the beauty of the con...

Have you ever had a pet who you loved and who loved you almost more than your hearts could bear? I grew up with cats, and my Old Dan's fur absorbed so many tears from my teenage angst. That tabby knew when I needed extra snuggles ... and he knew when it was best to leave me alone in my anger. Sometimes - many times - pets know us and love us in a way that our human friends and family don't or can't. Which is what made GHAMA's December meeting so meaningful. A few community...
You know, Lord, it's been quite some years ago, but turning the calendar page was a reminder of that special time we traveled with a tour group to Sydney, Australia - it was winter up north where we started but they were coming into summer down south. Crossing the International Date Line is unique: skipping a day and going down and having two Thursdays coming back. Temperatures there were around 80 degrees, flowers blooming and the beach teaming with folks in all sorts of...
