HELENA — Lawmakers in Helena are beginning discussions on how to build and maintain the state’s infrastructure, including roads, bridges, wastewater systems and state buildings.

The St. Mary Rehabilitation Working Group (SMRWG) met on January 16 in Havre to discuss the repairing of the 100-year-old facility. The SMRWG discussed the upcoming legislative session.

For now, we...

Strange weather for January! Rain for a good part of the day with temps in the 40's. Then the wind started blowing and goodness sakes! If it wasn't tied down, look for it in Whitewater or North Dakota! I stopped to visit with Mary Brown Peigneux on Thursday. It's always interesting to visit with friends who I don't see very often. The people who work at the courthouse really have my admiration for the things they do! Thursday I went to the dental hygienist, museum, and then met with the JRF...
Among the many bills to be considered during this legislative session is one that would require decisions related to fish and game be based solely on facts and science.

The elderly population makes up the largest percentage in most rural communities. This...
I get into some weird hobbies sometimes. Roasting my own coffee beans is one of those weird things that I enjoy to do nowadays. I am not the only one. Most people just drink coffee no matter the situation. My new hobby has ruined that for me. I no longer can simply just go anywhere and drink whatever coffee is thrown in front of me. I was after that coffee house experience. The type of experience you would get from a Star-bucks or a Caribou or various coffee shops in the area. Places like...
