A contractor is accused of taking $5,320 to repair a roof and disappearing with the money. Jeremy Block, owner of Droptine Construction of Great Falls, is charged with one count of felony theft.

She gave Block a check for $5,000 to cover the costs of supplies. Block cashed the check that same day, the file states. A couple of weeks later, the document says, Block was given an additional...
The Havre Eagles Club is always full of people celebrating something. In many ways, it is the center for social life in Havre. On an average night, people will be gathering at the bar while social groups, fraternal organizations or political organizations will be meeting in the assembly room or in the basement rooms. Or perhaps a group will be holding a benefit for someone who is ill or has sustained an injury. Veteran Eagles manager Tom Farnham helps put on the benefits for t...

I received a call late Sunday morning from my daughter Amanda, and the fact she wanted to talk to me before her mother seemed odd. Amanda told me our friend, Larry, had taken his life and after exchanging small talk about how much we would miss him, we talked about our concerns for his family, the son he left behind and how she had lost touch with him in recent months. She finished our conversation with comments about how suicide seems to happen far too often around the holidays. I handed the phone to my wife to discuss...
The day before I left Mexico I bought a poinsettia, my Christmas bush. I expected to celebrate Christmas in Mexico. I certainly never expected to spend this Christmas in Glendive, Montana. I certainly never expected to sleep so many nights at a motel that I began to call it home. But when my daughter called for help, I took the next plane out of Mazatlan. I certainly never expected to shiver and quake with cold several times a day while waiting for my car heater to warm me enough for me to quit huddling into myself. Ah, Monta...

Last week I promised readers a tale of a Christmas miracle to warm the heart and make us all appreciate the joyous possibilities of the season. And, too, I promised the story of an attempted murder, so if we’re going to get from point Ax murder to point Xmas miracle, we better get started. To recap: Older brother and I were not so much good at getting along, a condition which started at my birth and is, let’s say, an ongoing status into the foreseeable future, and beyond, and...

A small-town Christmas is an important part of Americana. North-central Montana offers an abundance of small-town Christmas activities. The season has been marked with visits to kids by Santa Claus, school concerts, community celebrations, Christmas tree lightings, parades, school plays and Nativity scene re-enactments. Some new events took place this year but, while things change as years ago by, many of the area traditions of years past remain intact. Those who have left...

I remember growing up listening and finally singing the “Messiah” in my mother’s church choir for many years. Handel’s “Messiah” has a great message about the Lord’s redemption, as does the reading of a man’s transformation in Dicken’s character Scrooge. For more than 273 years since its premier in Dublin, the “Messiah” has inspired audiences the world over. It opens with a tenor recitative from Isaiah, “Comfort ye, comfort ye, My people, saith your God,” and rises to the heights in the “Hallelujah Chorus,” and closing with t...
This time of year is always special and unless you are Ebenezer Scrooge, it’s hard not to be excited about the holidays. I love Christmas and I love New Year’s Day; they are two of my favorite holidays and not just because of presents or great food, but more so because they both feature two of my favorite things: family and sports. It may not be like this in a lot of other households, but in ours, sports and family are joined at the hip. Although some people may not see watching a game as a great family activity, it’s somethi...
The 2015 football season was a season of dreams for Chinook's Kenneth Pruttis, and thankfully for the Sugarbeeter, the dream continues.

"You couldn't ask for a better year than 12-0," Pruttis said. "Then to finish it off by winning a state championship, is...
