The Broadus Cross Country team made the 10 hour, 600 plus mile drive to Kalispell for the state meet last week, with Broadus Coach Ashley Emmons driving the entire route to and fro in the school van.

On Thursday the team drove as far...

The move comes about as a way to expand the facility, which had been cramped in the smaller building, according to Tracy Vail, Recycling Center Manager. The new facility allows...
