I would like to publicly express my thanks to the Montana Department of Transportation crew that has been working to clean up the trees on Fifth Avenue. They removed two old, half-dead unsightly trees on the boulevard near my house. These trees were constantly dropping dead branches on the street and in my yard with every wind storm. Not only did they get rid of the menace trees, but came back and ground all the stumps down. Thank you, MDT crew! Allen Ost Havre...
We finished the first week of the 66th Legislature. The Opening Ceremony was great. Judy was in attendance this session having missed the first day of the 2017 session because of a storm. Our friends and campaign treasurer, Junior Scheuerman and his wife, Karen, were also in attendance for the ceremony. It was great to share the experience. As you may have guessed, over the last week, time was spent getting introduced to folks on our respective committees. It is called “organizing,” though sometimes it almost resembles chaos....
It is strange, after serving 14 years, to be a “freshman” representative in the House. However, as a “senior” freshman, I chair Joint Education Finance and vice-chair Full Appropriations. These familiar committees are where I held leadership positions in the Senate, thus it was a good first week. While the discussion was contentious, the substantial rule reform I strongly advocated for was adopted by the 66th Legislature with overwhelming support of the body (88-12). Key reforms include: 1) A single leader (speaker) can no...

Talk about bouncing back. Entering the second week of January, there were a lot of Frontier Conference men's and women's basketball teams that need to rebound. And this past week, many of them did. Perhaps no one in the Frontier, though, has bounced back bigger and better than the Montana State University-Northern Lights though. After losing to Montana Western Jan. 4, to fall to 0-3 in the Frontier, the Lights have come roaring back to life. In the last seven days, Northern...

Fort Benton dropped to 9-1 overall and 6-1 in the...
