If the Havre High softball team is going to achieve its goals this season, one of the big reasons will be the right arm of senior pitcher Jaycelyn "J.J." Hassa. Hassa, who said she has been playing softball since she was around four years old, has seen her role grow with the Blue Ponies over the past few years. Last season, she was one of the team's regular starting pitchers, as well as an outfielder. But now, as a senior and one of its best hurlers, her role is even more impo...

Editor, Why not vote for Gianforte? Both candidates wear cowboy hats, but there is nothing of significance under Gianforte’s hat, just another rich guy trying to buy a political seat. We have a candidate in Rob Quist who has traveled the state as an emissary of good will for all Montanans, not just the rich ones. Superpacs for Ryan and Zinke have poured money for some fearful, paranoid ads about liberals. They think that throwing money around is all it takes for Montanans to vote blindly. I think Montanans are smarter than t...
Editor, In following our current congression-al contest closely one must question — is this Montana office for sale to the highest bidder? Rob Quist’s opponent and backers are once again spending millions trying to buy another Montana leadership post with clever corporate TV ads filled with falsity attempting to smear Mr. Quist. Gianforte boasts he cannot be bought because of his personal wealth. For more than 40 years I have observed the way Rob Quist treats his family, friends and neighbors — always with courage, hones...

By Evelyn Boswell for the MSU News Service BOZEMAN — A weed that drops “thousands and thousands” of seeds as it tumbles across northern Montana is a wily foe that steals water and nutrients from his winter wheat, according to fourth-generation farmer Todd Hansen of Gildford. Not only does the weed, kochia, ignore his property lines, but Hansen said it persists in his area of the Hi-Line because some of the plants have become resistant to the chemical that was most successful at killing it. “When we find something that works,...
