  • Finishing Well: How caregivers can remain healthy

    Updated Sep 22, 2017

    Galatians 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. It is possible to get burned out, bitter, disgruntled, upset, agitated, angry, or exhausted when you are one of the primary caregivers for a loved one whether it is a friend or relative. The Bible encourages us to not become weary in doing good. I believe that that verse is in the Bible because it is definitely possible to grow weary when you are doing good. In order to fulfill this command to not become...

  • Hello, God, It's me, Mara - Heaven scent

    Updated Sep 22, 2017

    You know, Lord, autumn is a season of comforting scents. Can’t we just remember back when we were kids at home and got to go to Margie’s house? Sometimes she would serve hot apple cider to us girls, especially if we had helped fold the laundry, wash dishes or even mopped the kitchen floor. How about our Mom’s fresh-baked apple pie laced with cinnamon? Now that was yum! Or when we’d go to town and Auntie had a day off from working? She did make cinnamon rolls that we could smell before we even opened her front door. We were fa...

  • Out Our Way: Along Goliath's Covenant Trail

    Updated Sep 22, 2017

    Out our way, the air is chilly but it is clean and fresh at last. For months we have cried out to the Lord for rain and then the fires came and filled the air. "Where is the Lord?" some asked. And then the clouds came and the rain began to fall. Fire crews rejoiced to see it as did farmers and ranchers. Cattle in the Beaver Creek were trailed in and began to wander the free range without fear of becoming roast beef. "Old Doc" Goliath seems pretty pleased and, between...

    Updated Sep 22, 2017

  • Big Sky play begins

    George Ferguson|Updated Sep 21, 2017

But, they'll do it without senior quarterback and team leader Reece Phillips. In UM's 56-3 blitzing of Savannah State last Saturday, Phillips, a fifth-year senior from the University of Kentucky, suffered a horrific...

    Chris Peterson|Updated Sep 21, 2017

    When it comes to the Havre High football team, the best medicine to cure what ails it right now, would be a win. Unfortunately, for the Blue Ponies, they will have to travel across the state to Glendive to try and get it. The Ponies (0-4) and the Red Devils (2-2), who are each hoping to snap a losing skid, will meet tonight in Glendive in an Eastern A conference matchup. Kickoff is set for 7. "It's going to be another long bus trip," HHS head coach Ryan Gatch said. "So that is...

  • Lights aiming for a happy homecoming

    Chris Peterson|Updated Sep 21, 2017

    For the Montana State University-Northern football team, every Saturday is a chance to show the program is taking steps in the right direction.

And in Chester, there is no feigning a love for the game, or for the Hawks. "We get a lot of really great support," CJI quarterback Spencer Richter said. "Even if we aren't doing as well, like we aren't right now, people still come out and support...

  • MSU-N Game Day Feature: The Art of Unselfishness

    George Ferguson|Updated Sep 20, 2017

    Jess Krahn never liked watching football – from the sidlines that is. No, Krahn has always preferred being a part of the game rather than a spectator of it. And that's why, through even difficult times, Krahn has always wanted to do whatever he could do to play, to contribute to the Montana State University-Northern football team. And contributing has come in many different forms for the senior from Hockinson, Washington. Once upon a time, Krahn was Northern's starting q...
