  • MSU-N Game Day Feature: The Lights they are a changing

    George Ferguson|Updated Aug 25, 2018

    It's all been a whirlwind for new Montana State University-Northern head football coach Andrew Rolin. In December, he was in Havre to interview for the Lights' opening vacated by Aaron Christenson. And by Christmas time, Rolin was now the youngest head coach, not only in Northern history, but currently in the Frontier Conference. From there, Rolin did the thing he loves to do the most, outside of his family, and that's roll up his sleeves and go to work. He learned that work...

  • Havre economy shifts in modern shopping world

    Derek Hann|Updated Aug 24, 2018

    Experts and local retailers say the closure of three major stores in Havre is not a sign of an economic failure, and, in fact, the local economy is not doing badly. In the past year, small businesses have opened all over Havre.

"In many ways, mom and pop operations are the way in which...

    Pam Burke|Updated Aug 24, 2018

    While news sources are waging a battle of perspectives in articles about humans — an easy example being: Is Trump crazy like bat guano or crazy like a fox — recent articles about animals have another side, as well.

  • George Ferguson Column: Havre, Hi-Line wasting no time getting the fall sport's season cranked up

    George Ferguson|Updated Aug 24, 2018

    I love summer, and I don't ever like to say goodbye to it. For one, summers in these parts are way too short. I guess that's the price you pay for living in one of the northern-most sections of Montana, and the town that was named the worst winter city in the United State in 2018. So, this column isn't going to be a goodbye to summer. No, I'm not done yet because there's still golf to play, trails to be hiked, and if the weather man is correct, a lot of warm days left....

  • Hello, God. It's me, Mara

    Updated Aug 24, 2018

    You know, dear Lord, as we grow old and our hair turns gray, what’s in the future for us of clay? Gone are the days of vigor and vim, our limbs are weak and our eyes are dim. Where’s the excitement of yester-year, where is the future that once was clear? We sit all alone, all the live-long day, are we just waiting to pass away? For some of us, Lord, our loved one’s gone, we’re sitting down here just waiting for dawn. Lord, we ache with every kind of hurt, empty and lonely and lower than dirt. Most of our colleagues are dea...
