  • NO REGRETS

    George Ferguson|Updated Jan 30, 2015

And when his high school career was over, as a Pioneer, he had nothing left to prove. Needless to say, Brumwell...

  • View from the North 40: It's a warm and fuzzy guilty feeling

    Pam Burke, Humor columnist|Updated Jan 30, 2015

    Cognitive dissonance is just fancy talk for the brain hurt you get from thinking two conflicting thoughts at the same time. I think by natural design I would have no problem with this occurring because A) I’m not that deep of a thinker and B) I am instinctively a self-centered person, so naturally the only thought I would have in my brain is about me and my needs. Of course, my parents had to mess that up. Technically, I am well beyond the age that I should be affected by a...

    Sweeping a Class AA opponent is not an every season occurrence for any Class A program. So when the Havre High girls basketball team had the opportunity to complete the season sweep of Great Falls High Thursday night in Great Falls, the Blue Ponies made sure they made it count.

    Chris Peterson|Updated Jan 30, 2015
