It’s that time of year, time to say goodbye to golf season. For me, this will be weird goodbye considering I didn’t step foot on a golf course in Havre this entire season.

Thank you to league secretaries for getting me golf results all year. Thank you to the local golf courses, Prairie Farms and Beaver Creek Golf Cour...

Editor, Rotary and its partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative have made great strides to reduce polio cases by 99.9% worldwide over the past 35 years, and we’ve reduced the circulation of wild polio to Pakistan and Afghanistan. That’s why as we approach this World Polio Day on Oct. 24, as a local Rotary chapter in Havre, we are pleased to recognize this progress.

As a young person, I received help and advice from strangers...

“Freedom isn’t free.” It surely was not for those who fought and died for America’s freedom in the beginning. Following the Declaration of Independence in 1776, and through the eight brutal and bloody years of the Revolutionary War thereafter, winning and securing America’s freedom from a tyrannical foreign power was the cause for which genuine American patriots willingly and knowingly gave their lives. While the American forces prevailed, the military success of George Washington’s beleaguered Continental Army might not h...
