    JASON SALVAGNI, Whitehall High School|Jun 4, 2025

    History was made at the Class B State Track & Field Meet in Missoula, where Whitehall High School junior Tucker Huckaba broke a school record that had stood for over five decades. Huckaba soared 21 feet, 2.5 inches in the long jump, surpassing the previous record of 21 feet, 0.5 inches, set back in 1969. "I've been working toward this all season," Huckaba said. "To break a record that's been around this long feels incredible." Coaches and teammates celebrated the milestone, calling it a...

    JASON SALVAGNI|Aug 28, 2024

    JASON SALVAGNI|Aug 3, 2022

    Dear Editor, I’m used to hypocrisy, but this move by the GOP was unconscionable. On July 27th, Steve Daines joined 40 of his Republican Senate colleagues and voted against the PACT Act, a pro-vet bill that had already passed the House. The next time our California-born junior Senator bloviates about supporting Montana vets, please remember how Steve Daines (R) just betrayed those same sick and dying veterans; seemingly all for a political stunt. Supporting our veterans should NOT be a divisive issue. If, like me, you’re wondering why Steve pul...
