  • And the winner is ...

    Paul Dragu|Updated Jan 15, 2016

    The annual geography bee at St. Jude Thaddeus School was held Wednesday, and it ended with a light-hearted, Steve Harvey-like moment. The questions for the bee came from a packet provided by National Geographic. They weren't all strictly academic and included: "In what city was the train station that Harry Potter waits to get to Hogwarts?" The bee, which was held in the school gym, was moderated by Father Daniel Wathen. The contest began with 10 students from various grades:...

    Alex Ross|Updated Jan 14, 2016

    While the average temperature in 2015 may have hit record highs in some parts of Montana, in Havre it was only the 15th warmest on record. “Havre wasn’t actually as warm as some areas across central north Montana,” said Roger Martin, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Great Falls. In the Havre area, average temperatures were slightly higher at 45.4 degrees, the 15th warmest on record. North-central and southwestern Montana experienced their warmest summer since 2007 and their warmest March in 30 years...

  • Letter to the Editor: Bullock is not helping the carbon emissions problem

    Updated Jan 14, 2016

    Editor: Gov. Bullock could have gone lots of other places, but he went to Colstrip. Beneath massive smoke stacks that have dumped more carbon into our atmosphere than any but a dozen other power plants in the nation, he announced the names of the people he’s asking to come up with a plan to reduce Montana’s carbon emissions. Montana is home to many successful renewable energy projects, like the Judith Gap wind farm and going to any of them might have better suggested an economically vibrant future. Instead, sadly, he cho...

    Sondra Ashton|Updated Jan 14, 2016

    I can imagine life without my right arm. I experienced that for a few months. I can imagine life without a leg or even two. My experiential months altogether add up to a couple years. I coped. The age of the dreaded cataracts has come upon me. With terror I imagine life without the sight of my eyeballs. Yesterday, after a sleepless night, I met my highly recommended surgeon. He put me at ease. That is good. He said I am not ready yet. Mucho bueno. Maybe six months, maybe a...

You see, I’m a fan of teams that like to blow the big game. I’m a fan of teams that alway...
