If the last meet of the regular season was any indication of things to come, then the District 9C and 10C track meets should be very exciting this week. On Saturday, Rudyard played host to the annual Jason Groseclose Memorial track meet, and there were great team and individual performances. On the girls side, North Star and Chester/J-I waged an exciting battle. The Knights just edged the rival Hawks 168 points to 167 points. Chinook finished a distant third with 81 points and a shorthanded Big Sandy team was fourth with 38...
The growth plans for Havre and Hill County were approved by the City-County Planning Board Tuesday after some suggested changes and discussion of its purpose during a public hearing in the Hill County Courthouse. The document is part of a comprehensive upgrade on the local growth policy, the first done since 1971.

The bio-solids compost has drawn the ire of a public interest and environmental advocacy group. The Organic Consumers Association doesn't think the variety used in gardens or the one laid on farmlands is tested enough and is waging a national campaign against its use. The sludge, they say, could potentially include thousands of...

A winter breeze rustles through the brittle and dormant vines twisting along the hills of Bill Hopkins' vineyard, the latest transformation of a Connecticut farm that since 1786 has been keeping up with changing agriculture, markets and consumer tastes.

The 105-student school is part of the National Farm to School Network, aimed at getting healthier meals into school cafeterias, teaching kids about agriculture and nutrition and supporting local farmers.

You can knock us Americans down, but you can't keep us down. For example, the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City were crashed to the ground on 9/11. But now, a new tower is rising from those very ashes — a soaring steel and glass monument to the American spirit, a powerful symbol of our national resilience. Well — except for the glass. A company named Beijing Glass got the government contract to provide the window panes that'll cover the first 20 stories of the tower. Yes, the monument to our national spir...

Last year, the Blaine County undersheriff pulled over a vehicle because he suspected that the driver was intoxicated. Indeed, the driver was charged with driving under the influence. And the officer decided to do a check on the records of the passengers in the vehicle. The five people in the car had a total of 17 DUI convictions under their belts. "I was blown away by that," said Blaine County Attorney Don Ranstrom. "It is astounding." Ranstrom said that incident shows how pervasive drunken driving is in parts of our... Full story
