Some locals and officials that fought the East Fork Fire are still disputing what led to the fire’s rapid and erratic spread from a relatively small fire on Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation Aug. 27 to a blaze that burned nearly 22,000 acres in the Bear Paw Mountains.

Early Spanish invaders called this area in which I live, the land of perpetual spring. I’ve lived here close to two years. I have to agree. The description is apt. I hesitate to even talk about what it is like here when my Havre friends are digging out from under unprecedented snowfall. Though seasonal changes in this area are subtle, hardly n...

There’s no denying, wins have been hard to come by for the Montana State University-Northern Lights the last four years. But, the Lights got another big monkey off their back last Saturday at Mayville State.

Before beating Mayville State, the Lights hadn’t won a road game, of...

One such athlete is Breck Don,...
