HELENA - It's tomato roulette time in Montana. Just when the vines are groaning with half-ripe fruit, a killing frost could strike any night, wiping out months of fertilizing, watering and combating an array of tomato-loving pests that range from pack rats to deer. The chilling news is usually delivered in mid-September by a jovial TV weatherman named Frosty, who waves frantically at maps and charts before delivering the coupe de grace: "If you haven't covered your plants tonight, it may already be too late." All the yard...

After a pair of emotion-filled, exhausting and exciting conference wins this past weekend, another match today would seem like the perfect time for a letdown from the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team. Except for one thing, the Skylights opponent is the University of Great Falls. Although it has only been three years since the Argos restarted their volleyball program, in those three years, a tense, heated rivalry has developed with the Skylights. The two teams will renew it tonight at 7 at the MSU-Northern...
Difficult courses and strong competition is what both Havre High golf teams were up against the past two days at the Flatfish Invitational golf tournament in Kalispell and Whitefish. The two-day, 36-hole tournament played at Buffalo Hills in Kalispell and Whitefish Lakes South Course in Whitefish was the final tune-up for the HHS golf teams before they head to the Central A divisional tournament in Lewistown this weekend. The Havre High boys team finished with a two-day total score of 674. As expected, the tournament was... Full story

Tuesday morning, assistant school superintendent Dennis Parman unpacked a box containing the test results that will determine whether Havre schools meet the standards of President Bush's No Child Left Behind. The results are from the Measured Progress Test, which was administered for the first time last year, and which will continue to be used as the main factor in determining a school district's academic performance. This year, the schools will be told what percentage of students need to have scored at the proficient or...
A Havre organization and a regional anti-poverty group are teaming up to try to help youths all over north-central Montana. Healthy Communities-Healthy Youth and the Northcentral Montana Community Ventures Coalition are joining efforts to build assets in young people, with a pilot project proposed for Havre, Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation and Great Falls. "That offers a lot bigger perspective for the assets process. It doesn't just localize it to this community; it spreads it out and regionalizes it," said Tim Maroney, a...
After emerging last week from a single-vehicle car crash that left her nearly untouched, MaryEtta Sohm, a retired Havre school teacher, has referred to herself as a "walking miracle." She counts surviving the crash as one among many blessings in a long, active life. Sohm taught fifth and sixth grade at the Devlin School for 28 years, until retiring in 1976. She is still greeted by her former students, but now she is also known for other community work. After retiring, she began running the gift shop at the hospital, a... Full story

They contain more information about daily life at Fort Assinniboine than was previously known, Fort...
Parents and children need to put their heads together to prevent brain injuries. The brain is like a master computer for the human body. It controls thinking, learning, language and memory. A child's ability to move, breathe, see, speak, hear and feel is controlled by the brain because the brain sends all of these signals to the parts of the body. It even affects a child's emotions and personality. With all these vital functions at risk, parents can see that protecting their child's brain from injury is a critical... Full story
