Box Elder, which captured the boys Class C title in two of the last three years, defeated Arlee in the Four Seasons Arena last March to win the championship. And Saturday night inside the Armory Gymnasium, the two teams met again. This time, however, it was the W...
Snow and low temperatures reduced turnout at this year’s Dino Christmas celebration Saturday at the Holiday Village Mall, Val Hickman, vice chair of the H. Earl Clack Memorial Museum Board said Monday. “It was a cold nasty day out,” Hickman said. “I don’t know if I would’ve taken my children out.” The scheduled meeting lacked a quorum, so no official business was taken up. Kathy Shrager, who also sits on the board, said it was disappointing that turnout wasn’t higher. The Dino Christmas is a dinosaur-themed Christmas party fo...

“You almost got fired because your company had a holiday party? You’re going to have to explain.” “Look, where I come from, we call holiday parties ‘Christmas parties.’ Nobody told me I was supposed to avoid anything relating to our country’s Christmas tradition.” “What did you do?” “Well, the owners of my company threw our holiday party after work one evening. Thanks to me and the boys in the sales department, the adult beverages were flowing. That’s when the Human Resources director threatened to can me.” “You were unaw...
The Hill County Park Board is establishing a Finance and Planning Committee. This committee will be a permanent committee of the board that will develop recommendations, advise the Park Board and support the park manager concerning financial and planning matters primarily for Beaver Creek Park, but will include all county parks. Beaver Creek Park is self-sustaining — not supported by tax dollars — and the park can only spend what it raises, therefore it is important to have good financial plans and management. The com...
HEART’S CONTENT, Newfoundland and Labrador — Of all the landmarks of high tech, including the Menlo Park lab where Thomas Edison perfected a marketable incandescent light bulb, the Palo Alto garage where Hewlett-Packard’s audio oscillator was developed, the Harvard dormitory where Mark Zuckerberg invented Facebook, none is as unlikely as the ragged shoreline of this remote fishing village, where 150 years ago the Old World and the New were connected by an underwater trans-Atlantic telegraph cable. Here, in a tiny marit...

His loyalties instead appear more in-line with corporate interests that seek to exploit state resources with actions that undermine access to and the quality of our outdoor r...
There’s been talk among some conservatives and Republicans that Democrats are plotting to “Bork” the nomination of Sen. Jeff Sessions to be attorney general. That’s not right. What Democrats really hope to do is to “Ashcroft” the man soon-to-be Minority Leader Charles Schumer likes to call “my good friend from Alabama.” Sessions’ supporters have expected it from the moment President-elect Trump made the Alabama senator his first Cabinet pick. Sixteen years ago, John Ashcroft was a Republican senator nominated by a Re...
