  • Ups and downs of the 2017 Legislature

    Updated May 9, 2017

    By Jenny Eck and Jon Sesso Imagine you were told, as you headed onto the field, that your team would have nearly one-third fewer players than the opposing team … and that the other team would get to set the rules that you would have to play by. For Democrats in the 2017 Legislature, that has been our reality. As the minority and the loyal opposition, our mission is clear: to be a voice and a vote for what is right, and to fight every day for the people who sent us here, all the while knowing that the odds are not in our f...

  • Rural Montana deserves a Montana voice in Congress

    Rob Quist|Updated May 9, 2017

    I was born and raised in Cut Bank, where I learned that nothing gets done without hard work. Growing up on a ranch and wheat farm with five brothers and sisters, I can’t imagine a better place to spend my childhood than in the north country of Glacier County among salt of the earth people, learning the Montana values that we all hold dear ... community, responsibility, hard work and family. Living in rural Montana taught me how to be resourceful and what it means to thrive in sometimes challenging situations. I know the s...

    Updated May 9, 2017

    The most significant infrastructure bill in over a quarter of a century was passed by the just adjourned 2017 legislatives session. It was the six-cent increase in motor fuel taxes which will make it possible for Montana to continue to match federal dollars for highway maintenance and construction at a ratio of seven federal dollars to one Montana dollar. The highway infrastructure bill was passed by an embattled coalition of Democrats and Republicans. Its passage was necessary to assure our roads and highways will be...

  • Hi-Line Athletes of the Week

    Updated May 9, 2017

    Jacey McDonald, Havre High Softball Havre High senior Jacey McDonald is a known commodity when it comes to hitting on the Blue Pony softball team. But even she surprised herself a little at last Saturday's Havre Invitational. Against Shelby, McDonald belted a home run and went 2-for-3 at the dish. That would be a strong day for anyone, but she was nowhere near done. McDonald also went 3-for-3 later against Conrad, including going yard for a second time on the day. McDonald,...

  • Local Golf Report: It's early, but we enjoyed the heat

    George Ferguson|Updated May 9, 2017

    I’m guessing that this weekend was one for the record books as far as local golfers are concerned. After all, how often does anybody around here get to play in 90 degree weather with little or no wind for two straight days, on the first weekend of May? If I was asked that question, my answer would be almost never. But that was the case last weekend, and here’s hoping all of you who got to play in those conditions, wherever you were, had a great time. The weather was also good...
