Havre’s Bullhook Blossoms Garden Club celebrated its 10th anniversary Wednesday during National Garden Club Week at Montana Style Events.

Students of a school a man was raising funds for are taking up his fundraiser after he was thrown some 80 feet from the highway when struck by a vehicle east of Hingham on U.S. Highway 2 Saturday. “Thats what bothers him more than anything, he wasn’t able to complete the fundraiser,” cyclist Will Wolf’s wife, Laura Murphy-Wolf said Wednesday in a telephone interview from The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Wolf had raised $25,000 of his $100,000 goal for The Creative Arts Academy in Davenport, Iowa, and traveled 925 mil...

Montana and the nation are moving quickly toward marijuana legalization as public opinion rapidly evolves on the issue. A recent University of Montana poll found a majority of Montanans support ending the prohibition on marijuana for adults. That’s not a surprise to me, and seems like common sense. In Montana, support for marijuana legalization, like most other issues, isn’t defined by Republican or Democrat party affiliations. Conversations are taking place around the nation in Congress, state legislatures and city hal...
Bacon and eggs are common base ingredients, but we created a different kind of omelet at Char’s the other morning, a “Friend Omelet,” made of ingredients (ourselves), old friends and new. I had no idea whether we could pull it off. I conjured the germ of an idea shortly after I spontaneously decided to fly to Montana. My little girl needed me. She was born in ’66 — you do the math — but age is meaningless to a mother, and I wanted to see her new home. Dee’s family moved...

For anyone who has ever participated in high school sports, you will know there is something special about it. It's a rare opportunity to take part in organized athletics and for most, doing it in high school is the last chance they will get. Yet, there are those rare athletes that are talented enough to advance to the collegiate level. Along the Hi-Line, we have been blessed over the years to have been able to watch our fair share of them, and this past year was no...
The heatwave that hit Havre the last week is scheduled to take a little break. But, that shouldn't stop the multitude of outdoor activities on what will be a big weekend in our area. On the outdoors front, Fresno Reservoir will be busy all weekend. On Friday, the lake will host the 2019 Fresno Youth Challenge, an all-day fishing tournament for youths ages 12 and under.

From Montana State Parks The “Be Snake Aware” Hike at First Peoples Buffalo Jump State Park has been rescheduled for Saturday, June 22, from 10 a.m. to noon. The event was originally scheduled for June 8. Fear of snakes doesn’t mean people have to stop hiking. They just have to know what to do if they encounter a snake on the trail. People can join Dan “The Snake Man” Wiatt for a guided hike through the park to learn where snakes like to hide and how to avoid them on the trails. They can bring cameras and get some photos wh...
