Davee McLeod isn’t just any Havre High senior to navigate through the Blue Pony softball program the last four years. Yes, McLeod has been a permanent varsity fixture since her freshman season. And yes, as a freshman, McLeod was a key player in the Ponies’ last state tournament run. But taking into account what McLeod has done for the program over the last four years, all that is just the tip of the iceberg. As a Pony softball player, McLeod has proven her talents. She is a two-time Academic All-State award honoree, as wel...
Local track and field programs are one step closer to the state meet, and area athletes performed very well at the Northern C divisional track meet.

Athletes competed for coveted spots at next weekend’s Class C state meet, as only the top five from each event advanced. In the boys’ field, the 8C Belt Huskies captured the team title with 90 points. The Chinook Sug...
Laurel — U.S. Rep. Steve Daines has a good idea that is worth looking into. He would let the Bureau of Reclamation allow hydropower dams be built on streams canals and ditches. That would provide jobs and create cheap, renewable energy for Montana. Dart — We have no idea if the people arrested on methamphetamine sale are guilty or not. The courts will make that decision. But the arrest reinforces the feeling that there is a lot more to do in the war on meth. It appeared for a while that progress was being made, and that fewer...
National Nursing Home Week is celebrated across the country in the month of May to honor nursing home residents and the caring, committed staff who assist them in their daily lives. As the administrator at Northern Montana Care Center, this week means special dinners, a talent show, awards and plenty of smiling faces at the “office.” This special week is also a perfect time to focus on our mission at the care center and how that mission is truly changing lives. There has been a recent systematic, organizational change in nur...
Friends don’t let friends do sit-ups. They don’t let them do crunches, either, or leg raises or this thing called a plank which is like a push-up that you just hold for, like, well, a plank. And they certainly don't have them do all these things together in a month. Friends do NOT let friends do the 30-day Ab Challenge to gain that six-pack of defined abdominal muscles. It’s ridiculous. No one in their right mind sets out to do15 sit ups, 5 crunches, 5 leg raises and 10 secon...

This is in response to Norman Bernstein's commentary comparing Texas to Bangladesh. Wow. All I can say is "Wow." This article was very poorly written. I can see now why Norman Bernstein is a roving correspondent. He doesn't get his facts right, nor does he know anything about Journalism 101 or how to write an article. While I am not a Perry fan, he has done some things that are great for our state. We have a great school system in most of your mid-large cities. We have job growth. Our worker's here have incredible rights, and...

In the late 1960s, Howard Bailey built a reservoir on his property south of Kremlin. The reservoir is, at the longest point, nearly two-thirds of a mile long, and Bailey became something of a hero to area fishers. “He just looked over the prairie, and he could see on the lay of the coulee a body of water,” his daughter, Jeanne Bailey Martin, said. “He saw it like an oasis on the prairie.” “He built it for only two reasons,” said Woody Baxter of Fish, Wildlife and Parks. “He wanted people to be able to fish, and he wanted a p...

The picture of the upcoming special election at Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation could be changing again. Three days after Michael “Big Mike” Corcoran announced he was withdrawing his candidacy for chair of the Chippewa Cree Tribe’s Business Committee, the man who was removed from that office said he is going to tribal court this afternoon to ask the election be put on hold and his name reinstated as a candidate. “I just thought I would throw my name in again to see what the people are thinking,” Ken Blatt St. Marks said...
