Over the years, the Havre High wrestling team has produced some historic seasons and some historic runs. Well right now, the Blue Ponies are in the midst of winning five consecutive Class A state championships and at this point, they have no intention of slowing down.

Local lawmakers gave different views Tuesday about the special legislative session that happened two weeks ago. Gov. Steve Bullock, D-Mont., called the Republican-controlled Legislature into a special session this month to resolve a $227 million budget shortfall.

This move is typically driven by profit margins. Keeping our manufacturing on U.S. soil not only creates jobs and strengthens our business relationships and local economies, but it does something else that may be e...
Admittedly, my wonderland is different than your wonderland. My wonderland lacks the beauty of new-fallen snow with crystalline flakes painting the landscape pristine and pure. Neither does mine include snow-shovels, car engine heaters, ice on the roads or frost on the windshields. Not that I have a car, but you know what I mean. Although cannas and hibiscus continue to bloom and the geraniums look gorgeous as ever, winter snapped us hard and fast a good month ago. Every...
