Hill County Commissioner Mark Peterson said Monday that the county is applying for a $25-million grant to use in three major road projects in the county and is looking for public input on the project, adding that the grant is a lot of money but will be worth it. “It’s not going to be cheap, guys,” Peterson said during a public meeting at the Great Northern Fairgrounds Community Center. “But by not applying for this grant, we know what the answer is, we are going to continue dealing with the road that we have.” Six people at...

For me, golf season really doesn't begin until June. That's because right now, I'm living in the tennis coaching bubble. For many others, though, golf season is already in full swing. And as my thoughts turn to the links, especially with this being Master's Week, I'd be remiss if I didn't say that, this spring, summer and fall is going to be different on the golf course, and that's because, it will be missing someone very special. This past winter, the golf world, and in...
Nothing can derail a college football career faster than an injury, and for Montana State University-Northern wideout Jake Horner, he is hoping the exact opposite proves to be true. When a player gets hurt, things will usually go one of two ways. The player will either rehab, recover and find his place on the team again or the injury will nag or linger and, somehow, things just aren't the same. It happens all the time and the latter probably ends up being true more often....
Editor, I am upset by the cruelty of those in Congress who would allow a born-alive baby to die. But also by those who promise us a “fantastic” health care plan that we will have to wait 20 or more months to see. I would like to suggest they each, try to live for a year on $20,000 a year or less, and cope with life at that level. Would they be more sympathetic with us? Margaret Gill Havre...
Dear Editor, First I would like to congratulate this year’s Havre High School Girls Basketball State Champions!

But part of the Havre girls basketball heritage is gone now and I would like to pay tribute to a special coach. Steve Huston, the coach of the first Havre Girls Basketball Championship Team in 1976, passed away last week. He was a tremendous person and coach. He was a pioneer when he took a chance coa...

As a Montanan, veteran, and state senator, I am proud to sponsor Senate Bill 300 — a bill that protects property rights. The bill would create a grandfather clause for owners in HOAs to keep only their most basic property rights that were permitted when they bought their properties. This grandfather clause is similar to the grandfather clauses in code in 37 states and in Montana’s own zoning laws. Currently in our state, HOAs and condo associations are depriving individual Montanans and families of their constitutional pro...
Americans pay the highest brand-name drug prices in the world. Congress, the administration and importantly, our own Montana state legislators must take action now to lower prescription drug prices, the root cause of this problem. That’s why AARP is launching a national campaign urging federal and state policymakers to Stop Rx Greed by cracking down on price-gouging drug companies. AARP’s goal is to help lower drug prices for all Americans through decisive actions and solutions aimed not only at the Federal level but als...
This past couple of weeks, Judy and I were blessed to have family here to visit and show the grandkids the Montana State Capitol. Mari and kids here from Washington and Maci and kids from Wyoming. It was too bad their spring breaks weren’t at the same time. Judy and I really enjoyed their visits. It was my honor this week to sponsor a CJI student as a Senate page. Samantha May did a great job. Wednesday, myself and a number of other legislators, a lobbyist and staff sat at a luncheon for a brief question and answer forum f...
